In Hotan Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang, a simple photo backdrop has bridged the deep emotional connection between local villagers and the great motherland.

After hearing villagers' desire to pose with Tian'anmen Square, local publicity officer Hu Chunfang arranged for a custom-made backdrop of Tian'anmen Square and offered free photo services, responding to villagers’ heartfelt wish.

The villagers' enthusiasm for this initiative is a testament to their strong sense of national identity. Dressed in their best attire, they lined up to have their pictures taken against the backdrop, fulfilling a dream they'd cherished for a long time.

The photographs that Hu and her colleagues took for 238 villagers captured the warmth of family, new beginnings, and the villagers' pride. This small photo backdrop not only fulfilled the villagers' wishes but also became an emotional bond between them and their motherland. It was this small photo backdrop that bore witness to the purest and most genuine feelings of the people of Xinjiang: their sincere love for their country and their love for this new era.
