HONG KONG FENG Xuemin was awarded the highest photography honour in Japan-- the 'Sun Award'. And he was the first non-Japanese to receive this honour in the award's history.
He was born in Shanghai in 1953, travelled to Japan to study Photography as a sponsored researcher for the Chinese News and Publication Association.
Although he now lives in Tokyo, he continues to give his viewers beautiful photographs of his motherland. His current focus is on places like Jingdezhen (home of China's porcelain wares), Shaoxing (noted for its wine, creeks and waterways), Changbai Mountains (ginseng country and snow bound mountains), Yunnan (terraced paddy fields on hill slopes and Lijiang), Guizhou (lively colours of China's minorities) and Tibet (Mount Everest and the mysterious landscape).
