Long Xuming (1946—present), born in Huayang County from Sichuan province, joined the Chinese Photographers Society in 1984. One year later he became a member of Sichuan Affiliation of Chinese Artists Association. Since the year of 1985, Long Xuming firstly founded Chengdu Young Photographers Society, and was the 1st chairman of the society; then he built the Sichuan Young Photographers Society, and assumed the society’s 1st and 2nd chairman. After that, he started the Photography Newspaper Agency and positioned himself as the editor-in-chief, while simultaneously taking other positions such as editor-in-chief of Century Online Chinese Photography Centre Website, of “Big Photography” Website and of the journal of Oriental Photography in Hong Kong. Later, Long Xuming founded the Chinese Western Photography Union and took the position of the union chairman; then he started Chinese Youth Photography Development Community, positioned as its honorary president.

Instead, for several decades, he silently engaged himself in the further study of the modern paintings, digesting the essence of each painting category.In 1996, Hong Kong Dadi Press published Long Xuming’s Non –donkey Non- horse Volume, comprehensively containing his works in the field of calligraphy, seal cutting, painting, photography and literature.
