As older generation artists, Zheng and many other "revolutionary photographers" from that era, view their "staged" works as truthful. Zhang has his own personal concepts, which were all hatched out of the "Ideology of the Cultural Revolution." Zheng lost himself in this ideology back then, but because of this "loss", his imagery is very "contemporary."
