These are photographs that the journalist and photographer Liu Heung Shing exposes to the public, revealing scenes of political and daily public life. and private that would not otherwise be known. Thus, it has been possible to recover not only a heritage that could have remained buried among the ruins of the past or devastated by the avalanche of new media and instruments to generate communication, but also the living history of a people through images that have been converted, due to their rarity, uniqueness and representativeness, into authentic symbols of history.
