Bao Naiyong's "April Fifth Movement" documents the 1976 event in Tiananmen Square through still snapshots. Bao witnessed millions of people participate in the April Fifth Movement and his photos not only depict the grandeur of the event, but also the minute details, giving the project a sense of inner strength.
