China Daily Global Edition (USA)
Beauty of Brazil is focus of photographs
China Daily presents a photo album on Brazil as part of its Focus series
Their lenses record a country full of wonders — from the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer to Iguazu Falls, the world’s widest waterfall; and from the mysterious Amazon forests to the simple but marvelous architecture of the Cathedral of Brasilia.
This page displays the work of Chinese and Brazilian photographers.
The album, One Hundred Photographers Focus on Brazil, is being released by China Daily on Monday in Beijing.
About 100 Chinese and Brazilian photographers’ images are in the album, which showcases Brazil’s natural splendors, diverse culture and tremendous vitality through approximately 200 entries. The photographs also cover the carnival, samba and soccer.
In his preface for the album, Zhou Shuchun, editor-in-chief of China Daily, writes that the album reflects the trust and bond between the two countries.
“China and Brazil are the biggest developing countries in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres,” says Zhou. “The Chinese and the Brazilians have a long history of friendship, and the two sides have kept strengthening their strategic partnership.”
“The two countries have effective communication and coordination on key global issues and jointly promote the building of a community of shared future for mankind,” says Zhou.
China and Brazil are both members of BRICS, which had its summit heralding the second Golden Decade of the grouping in Xiamen, East China’s Fujian province, in September. And the Belt and Road Initiative also provides further space and potential for bilateral cooperation, says Zhou.
In 2013, the Latin America edition of China Daily was launched in Sao Paulo to serve readers of the region — a milestone for China’s national Englishlanguage newspaper.
China Daily’s Focus series is a well-known brand among Chinese photographers since its debut in 2003 when it focused on the SARS epidemic.
The series began to expand overseas in 2015 when it focused on Canada. In 2016, a similar album on Russia was released.
