An Youzhong told me he found great fun in taking photos of Ugandan children. In order to do that, he created some folk dances to please them and make them feel comfortable. It turned out to be effective.

"As soon as I held up my camera, the children would run away. I supposed they had not seen a camera before - a strange machine for them. Later, I saw a young boy listening to the radio. I went up to him but didn't understand anything. I let myself go: I danced with him. The children stood there smiling at me and watching my dancing. You know it was my first time to dance. It was a good time to start! I held my camera right away and took many pictures of him, smiling, making faces, doing Chinese Kungfu..."

During the two-month photographic adventure in Uganda, some unique customs and living habits also deeply touched An Youzhong.

"In some tribes, if a man dies, his daughter will invite a young boy to stay overnight with her before the man could be put into a coffin. It is not a good habit and Ugandan government has banned it. But it still remains in some remote areas. And I think it's one of the reasons why HIV/AIDS is still so rampant across the country."

An Youzhong told me that once he had stayed in a village. A couple from the village wanted to get divorced. But the wife had to give the husband a cow. Then the cow was killed, its intestines cut open and cow dung taken out. This dung was applied to the wife's body. Only after this process is completed can a couple finally get divorced. An Youzhong says he was amazed by this odd custom, but felt great sympathy for the poor innocent cow.

An Youzhong unveiled that the most exciting thing on his African tour was managing to photograph the legendary pigmies, a group of small people who inhabit in the thick tropical jungle of Africa. This makes him the first Chinese photographer to picture these small aboriginal people. So how did he manage to reach the hard-to-get thick jungle and communicate with the pigmies? Next time we'll find out the secrets. I am Wei Tong. Thanks for listening and bye for now!
