Why did Hope for a New Life become the annual photo of the 20 16 Dutch Prize?

Francis, Chairman of the Jury and Director of AFP Pictures? Cohen said, "When we saw this photo, we knew it was an important photo. Concise and powerful, especially the symbolic meaning of wires. We think that almost everything in the photo strongly expresses the question "What happened to the refugees". I think this is a very classic photo and it is eternal. It depicts a situation, but the presentation is classic and in line with general cognition. "

Wen Huang, director of the new media development department of Xinhua News Agency, said: "This is an unforgettable image. The anxiety and tension you see are quite different from many images that appear before your eyes. Very subtle, expressing the true feelings of a father's heart and giving the baby to a world he is eager to go to. Very remarkable. "

Vaughan, assistant photo editor of Al Jazeera America Channel? Wallace said, "This is an incredible picture of the 20 15 refugee crisis, which is very powerful visually and very nuanced. We looked at thousands of photos of immigrants, but this one attracted me. It makes you stop and look at the faces of men and children. You see sharp wires and outstretched hands in the dark. This is not the end of the journey, but a stage in the long-term future. So for me, it must be the annual photo of this year. "
