Xihaigu prefecture, located in Northwest China's Ningxia autonomous region, is one of China's most impoverished regions and one of the world's least habitable areas for human beings, according to the United Nations. People say the taste of Xihaigu is bitterness air max 97 undefeated blanche , but China Photographers Association member Hu Guoqing says he's more than willing to explore the little precious sweetness there. He saw the quality of piety, devotion, kindness and toughness in the eyes of local residents who have lived in this impoverished and barely inhabitable area for generations. Hu focused his lens on Xihaigu and discovered its unusual beauty.

Matt Damon's latest work The Great Wall was once the center of controversy over allegations of whitewashing, but not that the film has hit Chinese mainland theaters on Friday attention has shifted.
The Chinese fantasy-action film topped Friday's mainland box office with opening day earnings of 107.94 million yuan ($15.52 million) - more than five times that of the runner-up The Wasted Times, another Chinese film that premiered the same day. As of Sunday morning air max 97 undefeated homme , The Great Wall has brought in a total of 365.68 million yuan.
While it seems that The Great Wall may come as a ray of light in what has been a gloomy film market this year, opinions towards the film have been divided.
Bearing the various negative reactions in mind, I saw the film on its second day of release. To be honest, I can't say The Great Wall is a splendid work that everyone must see, but it is not that bad either. It is nike air max 97 og homme , in my opinion, a film that has been carefully tailored to be a blockbuster popcorn flick.
Another Olympic show?
One thing happy surprise was the film's ability to fuse Chinese elements in a rather natural way compared to other joint productions in the past.
Set in ancient China, The Great Wall follows two Western mercenaries William Garin (Matt Damon) and Pero Tovar (Pedro Pascal) who plan to steal a sample of gunpowder to take back to the West. However, the two are captured by the Nameless Order, a Chinese troop garrisoned at the Great Wall. Discovering that the troop's true mission is to defend China from invading monsters known as Taotie and influenced by the soldiers' selflessness nike air max 97 femme pas cher , Garin decides to stay and fight together with them.
"A large scale Olympic gymnastics show" is what most Chinese critics have been calling The Great Wall, referring to the fact that the film's director Zhang Yimou also directed the opening ceremony for the Beijing Olympic Games.
"The Great Wall is a collapsed work," Ye Xindai, a domestic critic said in a long critique of the film posted on Wechat. Cheng Qingsong - chief editor of Youth Film Handbook magazine and the organizer of The Golden Broom awards, which sarcastically awards the worst movies of the year - called The Great Wall the champion of the awards.
"I felt it was still exciting after I watched the film for a second time nike air max 97 homme pas cher ," Wang Youshi, 22, a college student told the Global Times on Saturday.
"The scenes are great. I never thought a Chinese film could look like a Hollywood blockbuster."
This split in opinions between critics and general audiences is reflected on two of China's major film websites Mtime and Douban. While the film has a relatively high grade of 7.310 on Mtime, it only holds a 5.310 on Douban, a site that attracts more critics and industry insiders.
Taking aim at the West
Setting aside nike air max 97 pas cher , the core of The Great Wall is typically Hollywood: A big name director and famous actors and actresses, exciting action scenes, and most of all, a story about a lost man finally finding real meaning in life and a nobody becoming a hero.
The Great Wall currently has a 5.610 from 245 netizens on Western movie site IMDB, with only one netizen posting a review. In this post from a UK moviegoer who watched the film in Shanghai www.airmax97undefeated.fr , the reviewer said he was disappointed by the story yet acknowledged the visuals and action scenes.
Variety's review of the film hasn't been kind either, pointing out the flaws in the film such as a lack of well-developed characters and a rigid performance from the lead actress.
However, despite critic reviews, the film is still highly anticipated by global audiences. IMDB shows the film rising in popularity and Rotten Tomatoes shows that 95 percent of users want to see the film.
The Great Wall reminds me of The Transformers franchise, the last two films of which were also heavily criticized. Yet considering that these films' target audiences are people only looking to go to the movies to relax and enjoy themselves air max 97 undefeated pas cher , a s.
