The man, affectionately dubbed “Chinese uncle” by netizens, shared photos taken directly from his mobile phone during a recent visit to Paris. There were no filters, no carefully curated angles and no post-production edits — just images captured exactly as his eyes saw them. Some online commenters humorously suggested that Paris tourism officials might want to confiscate the photographer’s phone before more “damage” was done.

In an era dominated by filters and curated realities, the unedited truth — however imperfect — can be powerful in its own right.
