Commenting on the show, Wang Mingming, the director of the Beijing Fine Art Academy, says: "Through Sha's eyes, people are able to review happenings in 20th-century China.

"He didn't showcase his photography skills. Nor did he hunt for novelty.

"He was involved in historic events, and he participated in acts to save the country from great danger. That is why his photos are of human interest and are artistically touching."
