The exhibition “In Commemoration of the 130th anniversary of the birth of General Ye Ting – Light & Sword: Photographic Works of General Ye Ting” officially opened at Tap Seac Gallery on Thursday.
Organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), presented by the Macao Museum and co-organised by the Research Association of Yeting, the exhibition allows the public to “review the glorious time of the revolutionary predecessors and appreciate their honourable spirit of upholding their principles through photography”, according to the bureau.
General Ye Ting was one of the founders of the People’s Liberation Army of China and the Commander of the New Fourth Army.
An avid photography enthusiast, he left a large number of precious battlefield documentary images particularly during his tenure as Commander of the New Fourth Army, according to IC.
The exhibition is divided into three thematic sections, namely “A Glimpse of his Life”, “Photography on the Battlefield” and “Years in Macao”, featuring nearly 300 historical images related to General Ye Ting and his photographic works, reviewing his life and military career during the Northern Expedition, Nanchang Uprising, Guangzhou Uprising and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, as well as his profound affection for his motherland and its people.
The exhibition also highlights the efforts of General Ye Ting in supporting the anti-Japanese resistance in Macau and his great contributions to the cause of national liberation and rejuvenation.
The exhibition is open from 10 am to 7 pm daily, including public holidays, until 31 October. Admission is free. For more information visit Macao Museum’s website.
