书籍简介:
本书引用几段博客文章代为内容简介：今晚在cctv9碰巧看到一个节目，报道一位诞生于百多年前的中国人用图片记录自己人生，相册被一位老照片收藏家发现，办了个展览，那一张张黑白照片让我颇受震动。这“图片自传”的传主名叫Ye Jinglv（刚才在网上搜索才知中文名为：叶景吕），我忍不住要称他为“先生”。这位先生自1907年，21岁起，坚持每年为自己拍一张小影，自至1968年去世为止，一岁一张，每年不同的日子，以不同的服装、姿态、背景，当然也是以不同的形貌心境，在不同年份的俗世变迁中，作为他个人的“人生仪式”去进行。可以想象，今天的观者行过展厅长长的墙面，那一张张真实（而非栩栩如生，那是画儿）的图片，串连勾画出一个人的一辈子，以细致又抽象的方式涌到今人眼前，回想我们这个国家百年风云奔腾的过往，能不让人感慨系之，浮想联翩！“遭遇什么样的时代他无从选择，但他选择尊重生命，并尽力保持着无关富贵宠辱的做人尊严。” 这种尊严自然不可能是外人赐予的，而一定来源于人格的独立和内心的坚定，和不随岁月磨灭的人性的光辉。

内容摘要:
There once was a man who had his image photographed by photo studios every year from 1907 to 1968. Those years saw the end of dynastic rule， the early Republic of China and the turbulence and wars that followed， the foun-dation of the People's Republic of China and the early days of the "Cultural Revolution." The man arranged the total 62 photographs in an album. The recent fortuitous discovery of that article triggered quite a sensation.
In each picture he wears the clothing and accessories fashionable that year，sometimes with olojects specific to the particular time. Either sitting or stand-ing， from youthful vigor to lar:er wisdom and depth， his expressions are almost invariably serious and peaceful， his eyes calm. Worry makes only rare appearances. Behind each photograph are texts， simple or complex descrip-tions about his major events in that year. His persistence was never really dis-rupted: the serial images record the passage and changes of life and form a vivid archive about his life.
He had no choice about the era he would encounter. But he chose to respect life and tried his best to retain the dignity of a man， which had nothing to do with wealth， poverty， glory and disgrace.
This dignity could， of course， never be granted by anyone else. It certainly sprang from independence of personality， resoluteness of heart and a radiant humanity undimmed by the passage of time.
