Being a photojournalist involves reacting to breaking news, a dedication to long-term projects, and everything in between. This month’s showcase of work by Chinese photographers published in Chinese media underscores this range of angles: from the immediate response to last week’s tornado disaster that destroyed parts of Jiangsu province, to the seasonal reports on the gaokao—China’s annual nationwide college entrance exam—and on yarsagumba—the extravagantly priced Chinese medicine made when a fungus infects a caterpillar, to Yan Changjiang’s and Li Zhensheng’s projects that date back decades.
