1979, following the assignment of the Sports Commission, Hong Nanli transferred from a retired gymnast and gymnastics referee to a sports photographer. I learned to take pictures at the age of 40, and I took pictures for 40 years.
Yesterday at 2 pm, the photography exhibition of "Hong Nanli's 40 Years, Happy Old Lady's Moment" was held at Yuanshen Sports Center. This is Hong Nanli's fourth photography exhibition. "Holding a photography exhibition is not about how good my pictures are, but about recording history." Just like a photo on display this time, Lang Ping, , was the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. She personally took the team members to warm up and play the eagle to catch the chicks. She played the role of the old hen. "Lang Ping said she had never seen this photo before."
"General Fan" came from her hand
This film festival, a large photo of Fan Zhiyi putting his hands on his hips and carrying his shoulders was placed in a very conspicuous position.
This picture is the origin of "General Fan"; this picture was taken by Hong Nanli. "This year (1995), Xu Genbao said that we are going to win the championship and have already worked with Fan Zhiyi. Come and shoot more and save some information." Hong Nanli often appears at the Jiangwan base and captured Fan Zhiyi's most representative action and his general aura. "Fan Zhiyi's father is very polite. He said to me, 'Teacher Hong, General Fan is yours,' I certainly dare not be."
"General Fan" is next to the photo, and is on the empty field of Chongming , Xu Genbao and his "Manchester United". "The guardian of Chongming, Xu Genbao was the only one with a dog accompanying him. It can be seen from this picture that he is still very lonely and silently sticking to him." Hong Nanli photographed Xu Genbao, who had been coaching East Asia for nearly 30 years. Before the game, Xu Genbao always shook hands with Hong Nanli, looking forward to her bringing good luck. At this photography exhibition, Xu Genbao suddenly felt uncomfortable the day before. He called temporarily and apologized to be unable to attend, but insisted on giving the largest flower basket, which was bigger than others at first glance.
It may be rare to see a sports reporter with white hair in China, or a female photographer carrying a large lens on her shoulders. Foreign teachers and foreign players respect Hong Nanli very much. Li Zhangzhu left Evergrande and took over Liaoning, and led the team to Shanghai to play the game. When Hong Nanli was extremely surprised when he saw Hong Nanli: "You are still here! Come to Liaoning and I will treat you to dinner." After the game, Hulk took off his jersey and gave it to Hong Nanli; last year, Shenhua FA Cup won the championship, Moreno came to the court and picked up Hong Nanli, "I'm confused." Hong Nanli said, "I like to come out for interviews, I feel respected, and I feel warm."
is more than just working hard, it's just trying hard
For the transfer 40 years ago, Hong Nanli said that she threw her into the arena where she competed with a group of men. As her intern 20 years ago, I have seen her take off her shoes and step on a chair with one foot to compete with her tall and big male journalists. I also carried her a photography bag, and the feeling of gravity that pressed her shoulders directly to the ground is still unforgettable. But what impressed me the most was that Hong Nanli, who was over 60 years old, was practicing Photoshop step by step on the computer wearing reading glasses.
Former British coach Horton from the National Olympic Team, even if he bans reporters from shooting to prevent "leakage", he always talks to Hong Nanli, "This old lady works very hard and can come at any time." She has never had a week of rest in her 40-year photography career. Hong Nanli feels, "Maybe they all see me working hard and treat me well." Poster pictures of the photography exhibition, Hong Nanli chose her work photos of her going away with Shanghai SIPG to Japan. "This is my only time to go abroad for a shooting competition. This year, the Shanghai SIPG Club is willing to apply for a certificate for me. I am very grateful. Because I am old, I also wrote a guarantee letter to SIPG and wrote a guarantee letter to "Shanghai Airlines", which I have worked for more than 20 years, ensuring that I will bear any problems during my travel process. It rained that day, and I was holding an umbrella. I didn't expect that Japan would not allow umbrellas to be held. Other reporters helped me find a garbage bag, cut three holes, and put them on my body as a raincoat." Another picture of the
Film Festival is the angle of the Guo Jingjing's 43-meter board competition. In addition to the springboard, there is only a clear water surface.Hong Nanli said: "That day, I found that no matter the front or side, the background was very messy. I knew there was an elevator that went straight to the 10-meter platform, so I went up and lie on the jumping platform and took pictures down. While I was poking out to find the angle, I was also very scared, afraid of falling down."

The real thrilling thing was that in 2016, a short track speed skating was shot. An American athlete hit the baffle. Hong Nanli leaned on the baffle and was too devoted to pay attention, and it was suddenly popped out 2 meters away. "Everyone around was frightened and came to help me. Fortunately, I am a gymnast. I said you don't move. I just made sure that the joints were fine one after another and asked them to help me up." Hong Nanli said that when she got home that day, she couldn't move and couldn't sleep. Of course, she didn't dare to tell her family, and she had to continue to go to the stadium the next day. "The first day scared everyone. If I don't go today, they think I fell into trouble."
Buy tickets by themselves to shoot competitions
Before "Happy old lady", Hong Nanli called herself "star-chasing old lady". "I want to go to any coach, where the team is training, and which star that has never been filmed has come. I just feel that I can't miss it."
In 1994, Xu Shiping, then director of the sports department of the Xinmin Evening News, recruited Hong Nanli as a non-staff member to the Xinmin Sports News. "I'm very happy. I can shoot any competition. The cleaning aunt of the Evening News told me, "Seeing that you work so hard, you have a lot of income? I heard that I only have 50 yuan a week, and the car and meals are included in it. My aunt said, "You are not as good as us. We still have high temperature fees, nutrition fees, and soap and straw paper." But I am still very grateful to Xu Shiping. He can give me such a platform. It's already very good for me to give me a job opportunity at my age."
1999 CBA All-Star Awards, with limited admissions, and Hong Nanli was not invited. "The organizer said we have no seat unless you promise not to sit or eat. I agree." Hong Nanli said that there is a pursuit behind every photo, "Otherwise, it is very shameless. People are invited, and you don't even have a seat."
is old and the unit no longer sends business trips, so you can go to it at your own expense; if you can't get a certificate for some individual competitions, you can buy tickets to take pictures. At the Shanghai World Swimming Championships, she bought a minimum ticket price of 50 yuan per game, and finished the entire event without a day. In the NBA China Championship, in order to get the precious scenes of Yao Ming and Liu Wei as opponents in the same game, she also bought a ticket and sat on the second floor to take a photo.
Hong Nanli said that she has been a photographer for 40 years and has used up all the money. Fortunately, my children did not interfere. Now that my granddaughter has graduated from university, worked for 4 years, and her grandson has also graduated from graduate school, she doesn’t need to worry about it. However, the children are different from her, they are not chasing stars, and they are not even interested in sports. Only once did I see a photo of my parents and a star, and my daughter praised it: "My parents, I am so proud of you."
80 years old, I really want to retire from
At this photography exhibition, Hong Nanli prepared 100 photos, focusing on 15 people. Among them are the guests "chess master" Hu Ronghua who came to support the show yesterday, basketball coach Li Qiuping , "Nine Ball Queen" Pan Xiaoting, and of course there are also Wang Zhizhi who wrote leave notes to the army and congratulated him.

10 years ago, Hong Nanli held a film festival at "Starlight" at his own expense, and Wang Zhizhi happened to be there. Hearing that Teacher Hong was 70 years old and wanted to retire, Wang Zhizhi said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Teacher Hong, you can't retreat. I haven't retreated yet, how can you retreat?" As a result, Hong Nanli persisted for another 10 years for this agreement.
But at the age of 80, Hong Nanli is really determined to retreat. It’s not that I no longer use the camera, but that I mainly focus on returning to my family and taking care of my wife. Hong Nanli's wife Zheng Guizhi, 87 years old, was once a member of the Shanghai football team. Later, she became a coach. Queen Jun , Fan Jiuling and others are all his students. Unfortunately, I have become confused in the past two years and am worried that my wife is alone at home. Hong Nanli will take him with me when she comes out for an interview, including this photography exhibition. I will go to see it every few minutes, for fear that he will be lost.
On this day of the exhibition, the three of us ate at the cafeteria together. While telling her story, Hong Nanli kept putting the dishes on her plate into her husband's plate, "I don't have much time to spend with him. Before, he took care of me, prepared the meal and waited, and I wouldn't go home to eat. From now on, I will take care of him more."

has been "happy" for 40 years and is really going to retire, but Hong Nanli still has regrets. "I regret it started too late. The Olympics, World Cup... I want to experience these competitions." She said, "At the beginning of this year, AFP came to interview me, and they wanted to find a Chinese reporter to tell stories. After the report was released, the BBC and Russian Radio stations came to interview one after another, and Russia asked me if I wanted to report on the Russian World Cup. Of course I thought, and they promised me that as long as I wanted to, I could give me an interview certificate. Unfortunately, there was no news after the interview." After retirement, what Hong Nanli couldn't let go of the most was the photos in her hand and these precious historical materials. Her intention is to leave it to herself or the relevant unit for safekeeping. "They're more useful than me in keeping them, and I hope these photos will work."
