【Song of the Earth】Li Haijun: The pursuit of the light and shadow of the soul

Li Haijun, pen name Li Yi. In the vast land of Qinghai, there is a photographer who works silently, and he uses his lens to record the changes of the times and people's lives. Li Haijun, pen name Li Yi, was born in 1962 in this land full of history and culture. His photography career began in 1982, when he graduated from Lanzhou Meteorological School and was assigned to the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Qinghai State-owned 221 Factory, where he began his photographic career.

During his years in the state-owned 221 factory, Li Haijun was not only an ordinary employee, but also a photographer in the propaganda department of the factory. His lens captures every corner of the factory, recording the hard work and life of the workers. In those years, the workshops, dormitories, canteens, and even every path in the factory area left his diligent figure. His photographs are not only a record of factory life, but also a tribute to the industrial spirit of that era.

With the passage of time, Li Haijun gradually moved from the system to the path of free photography. Although he has retired, his passion for photography has not diminished in the slightest. Today, as a freelance photographer, he continues to document the rapidly changing world with his lens. His works are more diverse, ranging from natural scenery to humanistic documentary, all of which show his deep understanding of life and unique insights into beauty.
