"Father's Vision", a photo exhibition jointly-held by 12 daughters was held in Beijing on June 21. The public exhibition displayed the works of 12 photo-enthusiastic fathers, expressing the 12 daughters' appeal to care more about elderly parents.

It was Fathers' Day – the third Sunday in June every year, widely celebrated throughout the world. People normally celebrate the day by giving presents and holding family reunions. Different from it, Wang Wei, an initiator of "Fathers' Vision", threw the exhibition as a unique gift for his father, Wang Runchang, a 67-year-old veteran who is fond of photographing.

Wang Wei told ChinaDaily, I can't even think of her father's age during a party three weeks ago. She suddenly realized how little attention she has given to her father and that she was not being a good daughter. Another initiator, Ai Shu shared the same feeling. She and her 58-year-old father, Ai Youming appeared at the exhibition yesterday. "Daughters are always the nucleus in fathers' camera." Ai Shu' father said at the show.

During the 1980s, despite the deepening of China's reform and opening up, most Chinese used black and white film. Ai Youming, however, spent over 200 yuan (nearly a year's salary) buying a color camera – Pear River S201. In 1984, shortly after Ai Shu's birth, she had color photos that most Chinese admired in that time.
