Features: In 1988, the youthful and spirited Wang Xiaohui went to Germany for studies with her husband, Yu Lin, a classmate from Tongji University. On the day of Germany's "Tomb-Sweeping Day" in 1991, a severe car accident on the highway took away her beloved forever. Upon waking from a coma, this resilient woman raised her camera to capture her deformed face and a "Letter to My Husband" covered with one hundred lip prints. Since the publication of Wang Xiaohui's personal biography "My Visual Diary—Fifteen Years of Life in Germany" in China, it has been reprinted six times and has sold over 100,000 copies. At the same time, she was listed by the Cologne World Photography Expo this year as one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Female Photographers in the World."
