Rebirth of top photographers

Chapter 301 Final Chapter

"Tini." Chen Pingsheng looked at the girl in front of him and always had the illusion that many years had passed.

But it was only two years ago.

But her belly has grown bigger, and she has completely become pregnant.

She was lying on the blanket, and the so-called bed was just a mattress placed directly on the ground, with only a pillow on it.

Tini lay on it, holding on to the wall, and lifted up her clothes, revealing her round belly.

Her eyes were not looking directly at the camera, but just looking at the window not far away, as if she was looking through it at the sky outside.

"Click." Chen Pingsheng pressed the shutter and said in a complicated tone: "Are you planning to give birth to him?"

"Why not?" Tini smiled, as if she had accepted this unexpected life.

"This is completely mine... a child." She murmured to herself: "I have nothing but him."

Chen Pingsheng didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
-
Five months later, Tiny was due to give birth.

Chen Pingsheng saw her in the hospital. She was holding her child, a young baby.

The baby curled up in her arms, seemed to feel the mother's breath, and slept particularly sweetly.

And Tini also smiled and hugged him, holding her hands tightly, for fear that he would leave her.

"Crack!" Chen Pingsheng recorded this scene, then took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the bed. This envelope was much thicker than the previous one.

It can also be regarded as a thoughtful gesture for the newborn.

Then he turned and walked out the door. Tiny's mother was sitting in the corridor of the hospital.

Her face looked a little happy and a little worried, and these two expressions eventually became hesitant and uneasy.

She didn't know how to face this child. Such a family and such a life were not a good thing for raising a child.

But she still didn't stop her daughter, because children might liven up this dull home.
-
Two years later.

When Chen Pingsheng saw Tini again, her figure had become extremely thin.

"I'm addicted to drugs." This is what she told Chen Pingsheng about her slimming down.

"Why?" Chen Pingsheng was somewhat unable to accept this reality. Tini had never been addicted to drugs before!
"My boyfriend was smoking, so I gave it a try." Tiny's expression was normal when she said this. Maybe this is the current situation at the bottom of the United States.

Marijuana and various hallucinogenic drugs are the favorite things of the people at the bottom.

It is also the thing that drags their lives into the quagmire.

Chen Pingsheng didn't know how to respond to her, so he could only sigh and film the scene truthfully.

Later, he also saw Tini’s boyfriend, a tall and thin black man.

He had dirty braids. When he saw Chen Pingsheng, he scolded him rudely and wanted to step forward to take his camera.

However, after being pushed away by Chen Pingsheng, he found that his strength was not dominant, so he did not continue the argument.

In addition, Tini quickly handed over the reward from Chen Pingsheng, so he acquiesced to Chen Pingsheng's tracking and filming.

When he followed Tini and the others back home, they discovered that Tini was already the mother of two children.

Looking at the two dark-skinned children, Chen Pingsheng knew that their father might have left long ago, and only Tini was raising the two children.

But she was also addicted to drugs and had no time to take care of herself.

Chen Pingsheng asked Tini to take a few photos while holding the child. However, her eyes were always blurred, as if she was the aftereffect of taking contraband. She always felt that she was absent-minded and immersed in unknown fantasies.

"This fucked up society." Regarding this, Chen Pingsheng only had one curse word to express his emotions.
-
Three years later, Tini's boyfriend changed again this time.

This time it was a white man who had his hair combed into an Elvis look, and Tiny's hair was permed and curled.

And not surprisingly she gave birth to another child.

When she and Chen Pingsheng were shopping in the evening, she held the child in her arms and smoked a cigarette.In order not to affect the children, she also deliberately exhaled smoke upwards.

But even so, the child still coughed a few times.

Chen Pingsheng could no longer associate Tini with the girl holding the pony doll in the amusement park.

She has now been completely smoothed by life, with only contraband and children left in her life.

"I'm already quitting." But Tiny shrugged, feeling that she was developing in a good direction.

"Maybe." Chen Pingsheng's chat with her ended in silence. With the dim light, he looked at the statue of Jesus placed next to Tini.

This is Tiny's belief. Unfortunately, God seems to have taken a break and is not paying attention to this little girl.
-
Eight years later.

This time Tini has given up her drug addiction, but her weight has gradually soared to 140 pounds.

She has shoulder-length short hair, and her once bright eyes have completely dimmed.

Her husband is still black, but this time he appears to be a family man, playing well with his children in the photos.

Chen Pingsheng specially took a photo of her with her mother, but compared to before, the expressions of mother and daughter in the photo finally changed slightly.Tiny's face was expressionless, and only her mother was smiling at the camera.

Perhaps as she got older, my mother finally figured out some things and let go of her guard against the world.

But it seems that Tini has inherited everything from her, including her past indifference to the world.

Only when she leaned against her husband could Chen Pingsheng see her smile through the viewfinder.

But all this disappeared after she showed Chen Pingsheng her hands, because he saw a lot of marks on her wrists.

"I'm in pain." Tini did not elaborate on the story, everything was deeply imprinted in the photo by the camera.
-
Twelve years later, Tini is no longer a child and has gradually entered middle age.

Her figure became more and more bloated, and even Chen Pingsheng was a little afraid to confirm it when he saw her for the first time.

"Two hundred pounds." She said her weight with a smile.

Perhaps this was the price of completely quitting drug addiction. Not only did it cause physical damage, she also began to use food indulgence to please herself.

Her home was a mess, filled with trash and broken toys.

The children were running back and forth, and the sound of chirping filled the whole house.

"Be quiet!" Tini yelled loudly. Life had turned her into the most despised person she had ever been, a bloated woman.

But that's her choice.

In Chen Pingsheng's shots, she lives with her mother, and the two often quarrel and even fight with each other.

But later, the two of them would sit on the sofa as if nothing had happened.

Taking a photo with her mother, Tini is still expressionless, but her mother is smiling a lot more than before, and she also makes gestures and movements to show off herself.

Tini's children have also grown up a lot, the eldest is already over ten years old.

Perhaps due to the hard work of raising children, or perhaps due to obesity, Tini has also aged a lot.

She no longer has tight skin and a pleasant voice, but instead has fat lines and eye and tail lines.

Chen Pingsheng took several photos of the children. They were very interested in photography and chattered around Chen Pingsheng asking.

Chen Pingsheng answered patiently, but in the end he discovered that they just wanted to make money and did not really have any ideas about photography.

But this was very realistic. He looked at this large family and realized that no matter how hard Tini's husband worked, he would not be able to support so many children in school.

They can only be left to fend for themselves. Sooner or later, they will continue their previous path and take to the streets to become street children.
-
20 years later.

Tiny had another baby.

She also weighed more than 200 pounds.

After Chen Pingsheng saw the new stroller, he didn't say anything because he was used to it.

He took a family photo for Tini. Tini and her black husband were sitting at the top, one holding his little son and the other holding the baby.

In front of them, there were six children sitting, which meant that they had given birth to eight children in total.

The two oldest children are almost the same height as their parents. Most of their skins are dark, which also represents the boyfriends Tini has experienced.

"Click!" After Chen Pingsheng took this photo, he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

In any case, at least Tiny is living a "happy" life now.

After taking all the family portraits, he took some more photos of several children.

In the evening, he and Tini were walking on the road, because the filming of the photo album was basically completed.

Just one last photo.

"That's good. You've finally finished taking the photo." Tini smiled and brought her two Chihuahuas in front of her face, enjoying the close contact with the puppies.

The two dogs were particularly lost in her hands. For some reason, Chen Pingsheng thought of the little girl holding the pony doll again.

So he picked up the camera and clicked it.

From the beginning of the album to now, 25 years have passed. Everything is so long and yet so fast.

The record of Tiny's life is completely over, although her life is only half over.

But she has begun to overlap with her mother's figure.

People will always achieve everything they want, but the achievable methods and results may not be the same as they originally thought.

Chen Pingsheng turns off the camera. This album is a record of Tini, himself, and every life that is stuck in the quagmire of life.

He looked at the setting sun in the distance. At dusk, everything showed a light golden color.

Just like when I left here 25 years ago...
