Liu Ming has been engaged in education for many years and has now been retired for nearly ten years. She enjoys photography, loves nature, and perfectly makes arrangements for her life. She squeezes in time to travel and enjoy life leisurely and at ease.

On the one hand, she studied photography at the school for seniors in Qingdao. On the other hand, she went out with her photography teacher to take pictures. She traveled to small towns in Europe, enjoyed the blue sky and the snowy mountains in Switzerland, and trekked through the mountains in Yunnan, Sichuan, and Tibet in China.

She feels fortunate to get the help of Ms. Guo Jing and Shangtuf to have my photos shortlisted in some competitions and observe the works of many amazing photographers.

Thank you, Ms. Guo Jing!
Thank you to Shangtuf!

The Bajau people, who live in stilt house for generations, in peace and tranquility. Nature’s bounty has allowed the Bajau people to live for generations. Although there is no schools, no hospitals, no tap water (relying on rain water from the sky), they live the traditional lifestyle generation after generation.
