Light rubbing to covers with a touch of thumbing to front corners. Light crease to front cover. Half in. closed tear to top of front fore-edge. Previous owner's inscription to front free endpaper. Edited by Go Weiwei. From the book's "Brief Introduction About Xu Yong": Mr. Xu Yong, born in Shanghai in 1954, came to Beijing with his family in 1965. He graduated om the Lo Yang Engineering Institute in Henan Province in 1978 and later graduated from the Chinese Department, Beijing Normal College in 1986. He had worked as an engineer and a photographer at an advertising company and had filmed dozens of TV advertising films before he turned to humane photography. He has published "Beijing Hutong 101 Photos", "Country folks in Lu Xun's Hometown" and the serial of "Common Scenes with Local Features in Clima" which includes 'Alleys in Shanghai", "Water Regions in the South", "Hutongs in Beijiang" and "Cave Dwellings in the North". His representative work "Beijing Hutong 101 Photos" is a masterpiece in Chinese photography in recent years. In this photo album, the photographer brings to eye the present state of Beijingers' traditional living environment with modern aesthetic view and unique realistic form of expression. Therefore, this work is regarded by people in the cultural history circle at home and abroad as "a supplement to the history of Beijing" and has high artistic and cultural value. …
