《中国扶贫》创刊号封面
“明年我还能不能上学……”Founding Issue Cover of China Poverty Alleviation: "Can I still go to school next year..."
这张封面把侯一民的农民影像直接放入扶贫、教育和农村儿童命运的公共议题中。它不是作品集中的普通图片，而是《中国农民》进入国家级公共议题出版语境的硬证据。 This cover places Hou Yimin's peasant imagery directly inside public questions of poverty alleviation, education, and the fate of rural children. It is not merely a photograph from the project, but hard publication evidence that Chinese Peasants entered a national public-issue context.
Why this cover matters
封面把一张照片变成了公共议题：贫困、教育和摄影师的现场责任在同一页出现。The cover turns one photograph into a public issue: poverty, education, and the photographer's field responsibility appear on the same page.
封面标题不是装饰文字，而是整组农民影像的社会提问：一个农村女孩是否还能继续上学。 The cover title is not decorative copy; it is the social question inside the farmers project: whether a rural girl can continue going to school.
作者现场文字Field text by the artist
封面下方文字以第一人称记录现场遭遇，写到女孩一年学费 700 元、家庭一年收入约 1000 元，以及作者“让更多孩子上学”的愿望。The first-person field text records the encounter, including a school fee of RMB 700, an annual family income of about RMB 1,000, and the artist's wish that his work could help more children go to school.

明年我还能不能上学……
照片的故事：今天下午遇到一个农妇，她被人打得流鼻血了。她看到我在地里拍摄就来找我。她是个残疾人，在我的面前也说不清楚话，我只能听到她的哭，是心里发出的声音。天要黑了，我已经准备回，但还是要去她家看一下，听她说是怎么回事。
他们家有 40 平方米，黑黑的，有一个房间，里面有一个蚊帐，有一个小铺，她说是女儿住的地方。那里很黑，我没有闪光灯，没有办法拍摄。回到住的地方，我还想去，就拿了灯又去。这时她女儿已经回来了。
好乖的一个孩子，她看我就哭，因为她上学一年要 700 元，家里一年的收入是 1000 元，是父亲在河里挖沙卖的钱。她们家养了几个猪，在路旁边修了一个小猪圈；妈妈被打得流鼻血，猪圈也被破坏。我问价值多少钱，妈妈说 50 元。我安慰她们，给了她们 100 元，让她们找一个地方修个猪圈。
我真是希望可以给这个小女孩上学的钱，但是我的身上没有。希望我的工作可以让更多孩子上学。
这个故事发生在去年的圣诞节那一天。这个女孩叫王沙，今年 14 岁，在四川省荥经县怀远镇中学上初中二年级，父亲叫王国昌，今年 61 岁。一年过去了，我不知道，小王沙现在还能不能上起学。

Can I still go to school next year...
Story behind the photograph: This afternoon I met a peasant woman. She had been beaten until her nose bled. When she saw me photographing in the fields, she came to find me. She was disabled and could not speak clearly in front of me; I could only hear her crying, a sound coming from deep inside. It was getting dark and I was ready to return, but I still wanted to go to her home and hear what had happened.
The family lived in about 40 square meters. It was very dark. There was a room with a mosquito net and a small bed, which she said was where her daughter slept. The place was too dark, and I had no flash, so I could not photograph it then. After returning to where I was staying, I still wanted to go back, so I took a lamp and went again. By then her daughter had come home.
She was such a good child. When she saw me, she cried. A year of school cost RMB 700, while the family's annual income was about RMB 1,000, earned by her father digging sand in the river. The family kept several pigs and had built a small pigpen by the roadside; the mother had been beaten until her nose bled, and the pigpen had also been destroyed. I asked how much it was worth. The mother said RMB 50. I comforted them and gave them RMB 100 so they could find a place to rebuild a pigpen.
I truly wished I could give this little girl the money she needed for school, but I did not have it with me. I hope my work can help more children go to school.
This story happened on Christmas Day last year. The girl's name is Wang Sha. She was 14 years old, studying in the second year of junior middle school at Huaiyuan Town Middle School in Yingjing County, Sichuan. Her father, Wang Guochang, was 61. A year has passed. I do not know whether young Wang Sha can still continue going to school.
