Workers
Lin Liqing, Lai Xiaolu (Photography) / China Workers Publishing House /June 1, 2018
The book "Workers" was written by Lin Liqing and photographed by Lai Xiaolu. It deeply analyzes the often-overlooked workers behind the construction of buildings. This book diverts our attention from investors, designers and unique architectural appearances, penetrates the iron fence that says "Construction is dangerous, no entry for idle people", and allows us to see the real process of building from scratch. In this process, it is those unknown workers who use their sweat and wisdom to turn bricks and stones and soil into magnificent buildings. Although their work is hard, it is their efforts that make our city change with each passing day and make our lives better. This book is not only a praise for the labor of workers, but also a profound reflection on social reality, reminding us not to forget those who work hard for it when appreciating the beauty of architecture.
