How can we say Goodbye?
As we said Hello.
It is ironic that, as a photographer, I had difficulty looking at the pictures I took. I wasn’t brave enough to face the beauty, happiness, and love I experienced in those captured moments, and I didn’t dare admit that those times would never return.
I don’t remember how this fear went away, but I do now know how to peacefully say goodbye to a city, to the best of the times I was privileged to share with loved ones. How can we say Goodbye to such beautiful places, memories, and the people we were? We capture their elegance as we first saw them, the way we said Hello.

Hangzhou | China
This is a southern city where I spent countless days circling its lake, feeling surrounded by water and mountains, and noticing how the same air breathes differently every time I return.
Hongkong | China
An international city indeed, but I cared for its other side.
Southern Cities | China
None of my family members nor I was born in the South. But from Shanghai to Guangzhou, Dali to Shangri-La, and from Quanzhou to Changsha, the South has become our cradle of happiness.
Nanjing | China
Before I applied to college, I went to a temple in Nanjing and prayed for my future. Two months later, I returned to Nanjing, and my favorite leaves--maples--were there on Zijin Mountain to celebrate my next step with me.
Boston | USA
"If Boston is your home, welcome home."
Chicago | USA
You take the man out of the city not the city out of man
