生長的體溫 遊泳篇

背景故事：
2025年8月，剛剛過完18歲生日的阿樂來到成都參加世運會。在此期間他主動聯系了我，希望我能給他拍照。在和他簡短交流後，我了解到他的家境復雜，年幼時父母就已經去世，外公外婆和奶奶後來也去世了，唯一的長輩只剩他的爺爺，就連家中開通網絡所需的身份證都是從鄰居家借來的。屋漏偏逢連夜雨，三個弟弟妹妹也需要它撫養。無奈他不得不選擇學費便宜的體校學習，年紀輕輕的他就已經是國家一級田徑運動員了。但最終他又因為傷病不得不放棄體育生涯的學習。生活的各種遭遇，使得他最終他患上了嚴重的雙項情感障礙癥，大量的治療費用進一步使他的生活雪上加霜。
由於他的情況特殊，我最終決定給他拍攝了兩部PG等級的寫真集作為禮物送給他。隨著時光和病情的加重，他的肌肉不斷地流失，但是這兩部作品會成為他美好青春的記錄。即便他帶著傷病，但在拍攝時，每當他運動，那發自內心的笑容總會流露，體育也許是他真的熱愛的事業。我一次又一次的被他的笑容觸動，決定以少年運動為題材，記錄更多美好青春的記憶。
當這兩部寫真集制作完成時，阿樂也正在積極接受治療，即便在他剛離開成都時，他再次自殺未遂，但是他目前情況比較穩定，有所好轉。感謝您的支持，願在屏幕前的您健康快樂、諸事順心！希望他能夠早日康復！

Background Story:
In August 2025, Le, who had just celebrated his 18th birthday, came to Chengdu to participate in the World Games. During this time, he reached out to me and asked if I could take some photos of him. After a brief conversation, I learned about his complicated family situation. His parents passed away when he was very young, and later his grandparents on both sides also passed away. The only elder left in his life is his grandfather. Even the ID card needed to set up an internet connection at home had to be borrowed from a neighbor.

To make matters worse, he also has three younger siblings to care for. With no other choice, he enrolled in a sports school because of its low tuition fees, and at a young age he had already become a national first-class track and field athlete. Unfortunately, due to injuries, he eventually had to give up pursuing a career in athletics. The hardships he has endured in life ultimately led to him developing severe bipolar disorder, and the high cost of treatment placed an even heavier burden on him.

Because of his special circumstances, I decided to create two PG-rated photo books for him as a gift. As time passed and his illness progressed, his muscles gradually atrophied, but these two works became a record of his beautiful youth. Even with his injuries, whenever we were shooting and he was engaged in sports, his heartfelt smile would shine through. Perhaps athletics is truly what he loves. I was touched again and again by his smile, which inspired me to document more of those vibrant moments of youth through the theme of young athletes.

By the time these two photo collections were completed, Le was actively receiving treatment. Although he attempted suicide again shortly after leaving Chengdu, his condition is now relatively stable and showing signs of improvement. Thank you for your support. I wish you good health, happiness, and all the best. May he recover soon!
