Recently, four photographs selected by Xuzhou museum were honored to be exhibited in the Xuzhou economic photo exhibition on commemorating the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up held by municipal archives in Xuzhou new district. Among the four photographs, two were taken by Tian zhimei, a retired professional photographer, at the beginning of the reform and opening up, and another two were taken in recent years by Yue kai and Chen zhao. Through comparison, we can directly see the developing process and continuous changes of Xuzhou museum's with the reform and opening up.
