Nine US photographers, most of them engineers at leading high-tech companies in Silicon Valley and newcomers to China, will embark today on a 10-day discovery adventure to Wuhan, Hubei province. It has been almost 40 years since China launched its reform and opening up, said Song Min, president of the US-China Culture and Communication Association, which organized the cross-border exchange. "In other words, their types of storytelling will decode China's reform and opening up," Song said. Italian Francisco Carucci, a game developer at Google, said he did not know much about China's reform and opening up, nor of the city of Wuhan either. Selected photos from the trip are to be displayed on June 2 at Zall Art Gallery in Wuhan, followed by another exhibition in October in Silicon Valley.
