Local lens reveals faces of great transformation
Textile worker captures Neijiang's industrial journey through decades of development
Editor's note: With photographs captured through the decades, China Daily is presenting a series of visual chronicles to showcase how different fields evolved under the tide of China's reform and opening-up, and how that tide changed people's lives.
For the past 50 years, the camera lens of Wang Dinghao, now a retiree from Neijiang Cotton Mill in Neijiang, Sichuan province, has been focused on the steps of his enterprise — a representative firm of China's traditional industries.
From the rumbling all-day-long workshops to the everyday lives of workers, from the upgrading of machines to the growing-up of employees' children, his images document things as small as a single worker's dedication, and as big as the pivoting of the entire industry under the nation's master plan.
