Freezing Land is a collection of works by Chinese photographer Chen Longhui. Born in Shanghai in 1989, Chen is known for his poetic and critical approach to documenting the relationship between modern Chinese cities and their people. His approach, which explores the intersections between technology and humanity, memory and landscape, and dreams and reality, has made him a standout among the young Chinese photographers who have been gaining attention in recent years. This book is part of a series set in the former industrial region of Manchuria in northeastern China, vividly capturing the snow-covered cityscapes and the young people who live there. Facing unemployment and population outflow, these people wander the streets at night, chat with friends, and continue to pursue their faint dreams, exuding a sense of transience and strength. Chen recruited subjects through social media and other means, photographing them in a way that closely aligns with their individual stories. In addition to the 71 photographs, the book also includes a short story and essay, depicting "hope and loss in a frozen land" through both visual and verbal means. This book is tranquil yet earnest, and is a well-read record of modern China.
