送给女儿的十八岁

时光荏苒，日月如梭。今年 10 月 1 日，是小女儿雯雯十八岁的生日。

作为一个喜欢摄影的父亲，从雯雯出生第一天起，我就开始为她拍照，十八年间，共拍摄了 7000 多张图片。

从她牙牙学语、蹒跚学步，到上幼儿园、小学、中学，再到而今步入大学校园，我记录了雯雯人生中许多的第一次：第一次学步、第一次戴上红领巾、第一次上舞台演出……翻看着一幅幅图片，看着女儿从一个懵懂的小女孩，转眼间成长为一个亭亭玉立的十八岁青年，仿佛这一切就在昨天。

女儿十八年的成长历程，其实也是社会发展的一个缩影。这些图片，也见证了祖国快速发展和变化的十八年。雯雯小时候最爱模仿大人用家里的座机打电话，而随着科技发展，座机渐渐淡出人们的生活，手机也由仅限通话，升级为人手一部的智能设备；雯雯上小学时，接送她用的是家里的第一辆电动自行车，上高中时则是开着家里的汽车接送；我为雯雯拍摄使用的相机，也由最初像素低、成像小的卡片数码相机，逐渐升级为全画幅单反相机和微单相机。

十八年来，作为父母，我们为她的成长成才付出了许多，但在她收到大学录取通知书的那一刻，感觉这一切都值了！

十八岁，是人生中的一个新起点，代表着成人的开始。我把拍摄积累的这组图片，作为送给女儿十八岁的礼物。希望她和所有青年一样，不负众望，肩负起自己的责任，争取成为一名有知识、有理想、有道德的时代青年！

18th Birthday Gift to Daughter

Time flies like a shuttle. October 1 this year is the 18th birthday of my youngest daughter Wenwen.

As a father fond of photography， I have taken photos of her from the day she was born， and accumulated more than 7，000 photos in the past 18 years.

I have recorded numerous of her firsts in life： first time to toddle， first time to wear a red scarf， first time to perform on the stage... Flipping through the photo album， watching my daughter grow from an ignorant little girl into a slim and graceful 18-year-old young girl， I feel as if everything just happened yesterday.

In her childhood， Wenwen liked to imitate adults using the landline phone at home. With the development of science and technology， landline phones have faded from our life， and cell phones have been upgraded from phones with call function only to smart phones available to everyone. In Wenwen’s primary school years， we used our first electric bicycle to pick up her； in her high school years， we drove a car to pick up her. Besides， the cameras I used have been gradually upgraded from the original card digital cameras with low pixels and small images to full-frame digital single lens reflex and interchangeable lens digital cameras.

In the 18 years， as parents， we have paid a lot for her growth and accomplishment. But when she received her college admission notice， we felt it was all worth it.

The age of 18 is a new starting point in her life， representing the beginning of her adulthood. I sent my daughter these photos as her 18th birthday gift， hoping that as with all young people， she could live up to expectations， shoulder her responsibility， and strive to become a knowledgeable， aspiring and virtuous youth of the times！
