这是一组早期的摄影作品。
当时跟随所在公司去北七家儿童福利院做一天义工。在北京北五环以外的这个不大的院所内，收留了来自北京乃至附近省市的大概10余名左右的孩子。孩子基本在几个月至几岁不等，最大的儿童不超过6岁。

At that time, I went to the Beijijia Children’s Welfare Institution with my company to do volunteer work for one day. In this small institution outside the fifth ring road of Beijing, there were about 10 children from Beijing and even nearby provinces and cities. The children range from a few months to a few years old, with the oldest being no more than 6 years old.
这些儿童中，其实每个人都患有不同程度的先天性疾病。最明显的是先天性唇腭裂，发生在几个月的孩子身上。有些稍大一点的孩子患有孤僻症，还有的看似活泼，却患有侏儒症、尿毒症等多种疾病。这些孩子或许还不知道他们存在生理缺陷，但他们彼此相处的还是非常和谐，对来访者也并没有表现出特别的抗拒。
Virtually every one of these children suffers from a congenital condition to varying degrees. The most obvious is congenital cleft lip and palate, which occurs in children as young as a few months old. Some of the slightly older children suffer from withdrawn disorders, while others who appear to be active suffer from dwarfism, uremia, and a variety of other conditions. These children may not be aware of their physical defects, but they still get along very harmoniously with each other and show no particular resistance to visitors.
福利院的环境很简单和普通，孩子们平时没有过多的玩具，所穿的衣物基本都是通过社会捐助而来，娱乐项目也不算十分丰富。但也许这段童年的相处是他们最快乐的时光。
The environment of the orphanage is very simple and ordinary, the children usually do not have too many toys, the clothes they wear are basically donated by the community, and the entertainment programs are not very rich. But perhaps this childhood is the happiest time for them.
