Ling Zhou with teenage Lijie, c. 1990s (still from home-video footage)

📖 本页含中文版本 — 点此跳至中文 ↓  ·  This page has a Chinese version below.

Teenage Lijie — perhaps twelve or thirteen, in a red jumper dress over a white turtleneck, hair pulled back — stands beside her father Ling Zhou 周玲, who wears the People’s Police (人民警察) service uniform of the period: pale blue shirt, dark tie, shoulder boards with rank insignia, a red-bordered badge at the collar. The visible horizontal banding behind both figures is the unmistakable trace of an older CRT television image — the photograph was taken by pointing a camera at a TV screen showing home-video footage, the common pre-digital way of preserving stills from video tapes.

This is the first photograph of Ling Zhou in the archive, and one of the earliest photographs of Lijie surfaced so far — bridging the c. 1986–87 toddler photograph at her grandmothers’ table and the present-day portraits.

周玲与少女时的Lijie合影，约1990年代（家庭录像截屏照）

少女时的周丽婕 — 大约十二三岁，红色背心裙、白色高领毛衣、头发束起 — 站在父亲周玲身旁。父亲身穿当时的人民警察制服 — 浅蓝色衬衫、深色领带、肩章配军衔标识、领口处可见带红边的徽章。背景上明显的水平线条纹路是老式CRT电视屏幕的扫描线痕迹 — 此照片乃当年用相机对着电视屏幕翻拍家庭录像而成，是数字时代之前最常见的录像存证方式。

这是本档案中周玲的第一张照片，也是目前所收Lijie最早的一张照片之一 — 介于1986–87年与两位祖母同桌的幼时照与近年成年照之间，桥接了她的成长岁月。
