In December 1948, LIFE magazine sent Cartier-Bresson to China. He stayed for several months and came back with an impressive volume of work. Whether the subject is an important historical event or everyday life, the artist succeeds in depicting stories that have a universal appeal, through perfect snapshots created by the ideal balance between light, geometry, locations, and themes.

早期明胶银盐照片，单重光面纸，非常好的状态。背面有摄影师的印章、机构印章、手写的负片编号“312-16”，附有亨利·卡蒂埃-布列松基金会的证书。 1948年12月，《LIFE》杂志派遣卡蒂埃-布列松前往中国。他在中国逗留了几个月，带回了大量令人印象深刻的作品。无论主题是重要的历史事件还是日常生活，艺术家都成功地通过完美的快照，将光线、几何、地点和主题之间的理想平衡，展示出具有普遍吸引力的故事。
