Parution ESPAGNE - The consequences of one-child policy in China by Alain Buu
The consequences of one-child policy in China…
According to Chinese officials, the one-child policy edicted in 1979 would have allowed to cut the number of births by 700 million (the population of the 25-member European Union) but this does not go without problems in Chinese society. An entire generation of single children –a generation of “king- children” to whom everything is owed– is beginning to take over. They live by social standards radically different from their parents’. But, for traditional as well as economic reasons, the Chinese still prefer to have male offspring. A male-female imbalance in favor of males is constantly growing. According to estimates, the deficit in women reaches 40 to 80 million. Consequences include high numbers of undeclared children, increasing numbers of unmarried men, the near absence of women in some villages, the kidnapping of women and children to be sold in other provinces and harsh repressin against families not abiding by Family Planning rules.

On the horsemen’s steps by Joseph Kessel.
In December 2001, in Afghanistan, during the war between the Taliban and the coalition forces, Alain Buu, photo-reporter, covers the Tora-Bora battle for Gamma agency. The terrible battles take place in a magnificent and strangely calm landscape. Alain Buu makes himself a promise: he will come back one day, but this time it will be to reveal the authentic and savage beauty of this unique country, capable of preserving it’s nobleness despite 22 years of war. He knows he will have to immerge himself into the very heart of this land desired by all the conquerors but never completely submitted, and follow Joseph Kessel’s footsteps who also let Afghanistan absorb him in order to render it so alive in his novel “The Horsemen“. The book “On the Horsemen’s steps”, photographs from Alain Buu and text from Joseph Kessel, preface from André Velter, will be published by Gallimard and is coming out on the 26th of October 2007, in France.
