The elderly man taking the photograph is surnamed Feng. He is 75 years old this year and was a retired internist before he started learning photography 10 years ago. On the morning of September 30, Feng's wife and her husband were wandering around the West Lake when they reached the Pavilion of Tempest near where they saw two elderly people sitting peacefully on chairs basking in the sun. The old lady leaned on her husband's shoulder with a wheelchair placed nearby. This scene seemed to be telling a warm story. Feng's wife immediately took out her camera and captured the moment. Given the peaceful scene, she named the photo "Harbor". Mrs. Feng said that this was the most touching photo she had taken since she began studying photography. The happy couple by the West Lake originally wanted to chat with the elderly couple, but they were afraid of disturbing them, so Mrs. Feng and her husband quietly left. After returning home, they both thought that this photo was the best and most harmonious one. "I hope to find the elderly couple through Qianbao. It is also my wish at the end of 2011, and I will send my New Year's wishes." Mrs. Feng said that because the photo was exhibited, it was enlarged to 24 inches and framed. If the elderly couple could get it and hang it at home, it would be a happy memory.
In the photo, under a cassia tree, the two elderly people were tightly hugging each other. The old lady closed her eyes and leaned on her husband's shoulder. The golden cassia flowers by the lake covered the stone path, quiet and warm.
According to reports: "The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you, collecting laughter along the way, and talking about it slowly in the future while sitting on a rocking chair." This is a moving song, and today, the photo shown to readers fits this song perfectly.
Later, the Photography Research Association of the Provincial Elderly University held a 2011 photography exhibition, and Mrs. Feng submitted this photo, which was then displayed. Everyone said the candid shot was well done, and the image was warm and touching. Thus, Mrs. Feng decided to give the photo to the elderly couple in the picture, sending them her blessings and creating a keepsake.
