" is a strong theme in his work because he interviews many old people. You can follow his regular postings on WeChat at "CJH Photography" or on Instagram and Facebook at "Humans of China".

He's 27, from Portsmouth, England, and has lived in China for five years. The oral history format he uses is very effective: Each person's photo is followed by several paragraphs in his or her own words, chatting about their lives or interests.

I wondered what Cameron would say for himself.
