This book is a collection of translations from Old Photos, a Chinese bimonthly publication launched in 1996 that presents photographs and narratives from ordinary readers and professional historians in a manner that proclaims: this is our history, not the history those above would have us believe. The magazine was concerned with the everyday lives of ordinary people while also covering the momentous, often traumatic, political life of the People's Republic. It became clear it would also serve as a forum and archive for people's experiences and reflections about life in the People's Republic. Old Photos presented an open format where readers' contributions were published alongside that of professional writers, historians', and novelists.

Ed Krebs first researched Chinese anarchism and wrote Shifu, Soul of Chinese Anarchism. Drawn to constructively discordant themes in recent Chinese life, he has pursued Old Photos and its role in building a community of readers who seek fuller understanding of their own history. Hanchao Lu is Professor of History at the Georgia Institute of Technology and author of three award-wining books on modern Chinese history. He is the editor of the peer-refereed journal, Chinese Historical Review.
