Critère 16, "la « dernière photo »" : Dersu
Description de la représentation :
This photo was taken in city of Genhe, Inner Mongolia, near the Russian border. Gariba is an evenk (鄂温克族 – ewenke zu), an ethnic group that constitutes the smallest minority in China, with an estimated number of 30,000. The number of them living according to their ancestral lifestyle might be much lower since the majority of them have already sinizised (beihanhua). Although originally from Siberia, some nomadic groups have inhabited the Chinese taiga for centuries. There was a time when ewenks would live from hunting and herding reindeers. However, a transformation of their lifestyle started when the Chinese government banned the possession of guns. Likewise, urbanisation forced Gariba and his family to move from his hometown to another region a few hundred kilometres away. Finally, the arrival of hordes of tourists has completed this transformation, as Gariba has become a target of the cameras. His family has already moved to the nearest town but he still remains here with his brother selling tickets to tourists interested in having a look at his shelter and reindeers. The population of bears and wolfs in the forest has greatly increased and sometimes reindeers suffer attacks from them. When asked how he deals with this problem, he answers laconically “wo you banfa” (I have a way to deal with it).

Critère 7, "une photo sur le thème de la nourriture" : Local specialties
Description de la représentation :
A food street in Chengdu where locals and tourists flock to try local specialties. This kind of food street proliferates all around China after the “new ancient streets” model, which entails the entire demolition of a neighbourhood and the building of a new one imitating a traditional style. The Chinese have a saying that encapsulates well this model: qianpianyilü (“thousand articles, same rule” or “once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all”). The good news is that the food is specific to each region, and in Chengdu the visitor is spoiled with choice.

Critère 5, "une photo sur le thème du travail" : Retour au village
Description de la représentation :
The end of September is a period that is particularly busy in this area. Farmers spend the day harvesting rice crops, most of which are sold on the spot. They also hang corn from balconies to dry. Fields are well irrigated by the Longxi River. The town has an elaborated layout based on the principles of fengshui. It reflects the socioeconomic structure of the Ming and Qing dynasties, when wealthy Hui merchants (Huishang) returned to their hometowns and left their legacy printed on the streets and buildings. This will probably be the last generation of farmers in the Huangshan area to cultivate the land in the traditional ways. The city is flourishing again with the arrival of tourists, who flock to the Yellow Mountain, the area’s main attraction. Although the younger generations benefit from the tourist boom, by working in the service sector, this is not the case for the older ones, whose lives are alien to this transformation. Apart from tourism, new regulations dealing with land rights guarantee longer and more stable tenures, thus setting up a framework for the establishment of larger farms and the mechanization of agriculture. The aim of the prohibition concerning land readjustments during the tenure period is to stimulate long-term investments in the land, as well as to increase the number of leases. While this may be a likely scenario in Huang Shan, it may not be the case in other rural areas of China, where there is no tourist industry. In many places, farmers still advocate land readjustments in cases involving changes in demographics, for example, or to recover land leased out after agricultural taxes were abolished and therefore no longer representing a heavy financial burden. This has led to a failure to enforce the law in some cases, causing numerous conflicts and paving the way for new sources of grievance for farmers. If land readjustments hoped to ensure equal land distribution among farmers, the prohibition to readjust during the 30 years of tenure will undoubtedly put an end to this socialist aspiration. Perhaps this situation simply reflects the presence of two different social realities in rural China: those who benefit from economic development and embrace free market policies, and those who are left behind and still believe in the socialist principles they were brought up with.
