When Liu went to work for the ministry, she had the opportunity to visit different countries, including Spain, Italy, France, Turkey and Greece. Wherever she went, she tried to squeeze in some time to go out and take photographs.

She added that working at the embassy called for precision, and she could not afford to make mistakes. However, taking photographs gave her the feeling of freedom she had been longing for.
