Tian Jin (born 1986) grew up in southern China during the strict one-child policy, which led to the abandonment of many female infants and disabled children. Witnessing the plight of abandoned children, Tian's childhood was haunted by the memory of a lifeless baby he saw in a hospital. In 2014, while traveling through Sichuan and Yunnan, he encountered "left-behind children" and learned about the tragic fire that took the lives of seven children in an unofficial orphanage. This event became the inspiration for his series "Wild Plants," documenting the stories of neglected children. He discovered that these orphanages housed children with various physical and mental disabilities, often from poor families without access to medical support. Due to the lack of funding and qualified personnel, rural areas struggle to provide suitable refuge, resulting in unofficial "underground orphanages." Tian's series stands out for its powerful images and personal involvement. He lived with the orphans, allowing him to understand their lives and challenges. Despite the risks associated with discussing this taboo subject in China, Tian pursued the project rigorously, cataloging orphanages and gathering archival documents to provide context.
