150 photographers who had recorded the Wenchuan earthquake relief with their cameras have received the crown, including Lei Sheng (P1: one of whose works) and Li Ge (P2) from People's Daily.
Among the awarded photographers, some are from news media, some are amateurs. They reached the quake-hit area and took photos which touched the world, for they not only recorded the truth, but displayed unity, strong vitality, and indomitability of the Chinese nation.
A ceremony for donation of excellent works in quake relief to the Central Archives Bureau was also held. This is first time that the Central Archives collected photographic works.
