Solar Power is a fast-developing industry in India. The country's solar installed capacity reached 28.18 GW as of 31 March 2019. The Indian government had an initial target of 20 GW capacity for 2022, which was achieved four years ahead of schedule.

The photos were taken at the Chongqing Shibati Old Street, which is an important corridor between the upper and lower half of Yuzhong, Chongqing, and one of the oldest streets in the main city of Chongqing. In the 1980s and 1990s, with the rapid development of Chongqing's economy, the upper half of the city was booming with high-rise buildings, while the buildings of the Shibati were old and dilapidated.

In 2009, the Chongqing Yuzhong District Government announced that the reconstruction of the Shibati would be carried out, and in 2021, thefirst phase of the reconstructed Shibati was officially opened to the public. It relies on Chongqing cultural tourism resources and integrated the development of modern cultural tourism industry, which becomes an international cultural tourism destination.

Most of these places are located by the Yangtse River, not far from where I live. In this way, I can say that I am a witness to the development and changes of these "scenery at the doorstep". I sincerely hope that my hometown will become more and more beautiful, and people's living conditions will become better and better.

I took this photograph on Bonham Strand in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong. At that time, I was living just 10 minutes away. It was an exciting time for me as every week, almost every day, I witnessed new buildings mushrooming up and others being demolished. In my photographs I try to isolate an individual from the crowd and imagine what may be going on in their head. This photo won a prize in the British Journal of Photography’s 2020 awards and was exhibited at Arles the same year.

I took this photograph in early 1984. A man, sitting alone is looking across the Pearl River towards the recently-built White Swan Hotel. I was standing on what was then wasteland, now the Zhou Tou Zui Park in Guangzhou’s Haizhu district. The White Swan Hotel is an iconic building in Guangzhou and a symbol of China’s reforms in the 1980s. From 1983 to 1984, I taught English for Management at the Sun Yat-sen University. In my spare time, I took photographs of this new China in transition. In 1987, my book Canton, Colour Photographs by Brenda Turnnidge was published. The book contains rare photo archives of this dynamic city.

The century-old Chinese railways are not what they used to be. The perfect combination of the railway and technology has brought us different travel experience. This set of photos has showed us the huge change in the way of travel. The way of travel and the passengers are both changing, and the only constant thing is the heart of serving the people. To ensure passengers travel safely, railway workers start from little things, and take practical actions demonstrating the profound meaning of "People's Railways for the People" and "Passengers Come First". They serve the passengers with sincere dedication to make them feel like home.

On 8 October 2017, Mr Wang Zhonghua, who lives on Taipei Road in Hankou, Wuhan, Hubei Province, came to the woods behind the Municipal Youth Palace to practice Tai ChiSword and Tai Chi with his companions. He was 60, but still hale and hearty. He said, "After retiring at the beginning of this year, I always keep on exercising in the woods for more than 2 hours every day except for rain to maintain physical and mental health."

Since 2006 when Wuhan successfully became a national garden city, more urban greening projects have been carried out. With the increasing urban green coverage rate, the urban heat island effect has been alleviated effectively,which results in a more vibrant and eco-friendly city with more fresh air and beautiful environment.

The leafy parks are known as the "natural oxygen bars". People and naturecoexist in harmony. Nowadays, the green area in Wuhan is increasing day by day. More and more people are stepping out of their houses to exercise, read books, and make friends, enjoying a happy, peaceful, and healthy urban life in such beautiful environment.
