这是石少华的代表作之一,也是摄影界公认的传世之作。其中蕴涵的种种传奇,却在很长一段时间里鲜为人知。毛泽东曾当面向石少华提起拍摄这幅照片的情景,并且问及两个小八路的下落,而他们的名字和经历,石少华直到1986年才知道。照片上的两个少年,高的叫安定宝,后来当了张学思(张学良之弟)的通讯员,在抗日战争中牺牲了。矮一点的叫刘长贵,1949年以后在辽宁省海城丝绸厂工作。“文革”中,这张照片救了刘长贵的命。
“文革”以前,《毛主席和小八路》曾频频出现在影展、画册和报刊上,但从未署名。这是因为石少华拍摄于延安时期的所有原始底片,都在一次战斗中丢失了,而担任中国摄影界主要领导的石少华,不愿在自己主持工作的情况下认领这些作品。最后经过延安档案馆再三查证史料,这幅照片的版权才归于他的名下。
Mr. Shi Shaohua is an outstanding elder-generation photographer, and a dedicated practitioner of photographic art in the People’s Republic of China. He was also one of the photography pioneers in the CPC base areas during the War of Resistance Against Japan. He witnessed and recorded Tunnel Warfare and Landmine Warfare among other actions against the Japanese aggression in North China. His pleasing and vivid black-and-white images capture important historical moments in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Admiring his photographic works compares to enjoying a visual epic; the precious and familiar pictures make the name of the photographer together with his works deeply engraved in the history of Chinese photography.
