　　A native of Chengdu, a former diplomat, was sent to the China Embassy in Mexico for permanent residence during his tenure. However, after four years of overseas life, she gradually got tired of the step-by-step work and resolutely decided to resign, "ruining" the "bright future" in the eyes of others.

　　After that, follow your heart’s love, pick up your camera and start from scratch to become a photographer.

　　As far away as Beijing, Liu Xiaoxi, a sister from Chengdu, didn’t expect that she became angry overnight. On the evening of May 18th, an article entitled "naked resignation, a beautiful diplomat: This is the girl I want to be" quietly became popular in the circle of friends, and the reading volume broke 100,000 in less than an hour. In the article, as a former diplomat who was resident in the Embassy of China in Mexico, Liu Xiaoxi’s experience of becoming a freelance photographer after leaving naked resignation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made many netizens "in the cage for a long time" envious, and for a time, the discussion about when to have the courage to leave was mentioned again.

　　Liu Xiaoxi was caught off guard by the fiery public opinion field. At 11 o’clock that night, when the reporter of Huaxi Dushi Bao contacted her, she had just finished filming for one day and was on her way home.

　　"I don’t have the urge to leave, but I have been doing my own thing silently." The tone is soft and firm. Liu Xiaoxi told reporters, "Leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not because it is not good, but because I want to see another possibility of life."

　　grow up

　　Walk all the way to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

　　"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has undoubtedly given me the best platform and space. Working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the biggest gain is the improvement of sense of mission and responsibility. "

　　In the blue sky, the towering ancient trees covered the sun for the two young children under the tree. The young children wore simple shirts and grinned with joy. This is Liu Xiaoxi’s latest photographic work, which has become a poster of Wuhan Metro.

　　Clean, this is the first word that journalists think of after seeing Liu Xiaoxi herself and her works. Although she has resigned from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, her bangs are slightly curly, her hair is short, and her eyes are clear with a smile. However, her decent and standard sitting posture and elegant manners in conversation still have the shadow of a diplomat. It can be seen that she has received a good education.

　　It can’t be denied that this Chengdu girl grew up as a "child of others" in her parents’ mouth. I studied hard and lived sincerely. After graduating from Chengdu No.7 Middle School, I was promoted to Chengdu Experimental Foreign Language School, and the high school was directly sent to beijing international studies university to study Spanish. In college, she studied hard as always. In her sophomore year, she passed the talent selection examination of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was recruited as a candidate for translation in advance.

　　"The dream at that time was to become a qualified diplomat. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs undoubtedly gave me the best platform and space." Looking through Liu Xiaoxi’s resume, the reporter found that after finishing her university studies, she worked in the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of China in Mexico.

　　"I spent the longest time in Mexico." Liu Xiaoxi told reporters that in the years when she worked in the China Embassy in Mexico, she and her colleagues were responsible for cultural propaganda between the two countries and visits by important leaders. "At that time, I felt that I was in a state of high-intensity study every day."

　　As a young diplomat, Liu Xiaoxi has seen the most advanced visits and receptions on an international platform. During her work, she received visits from national leaders and served as an interpreter for national leaders and ministers of ministries and commissions.

　　Talking about the feeling of working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Liu Xiaoxi smiled, saying that her greatest achievement should be "the improvement of sense of mission and responsibility".

　　"I used to study hard because I had a thin face and didn’t want to be criticized because I didn’t study well. Plus, I felt that learning was really the easiest thing, because there would be rewards if I paid." Liu Xiaoxi told reporters that compared with her study on campus, she really felt a sense of responsibility in her work experience in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

　　Along the way, Liu Xiaoxi doesn’t feel how good she is. In her view, studying hard is just a student’s duty, and working hard is also her mission.

　　"I think I am a quiet person. When I was a child, I could paint at home and paint all day." Once, Liu Xiaoxi wrote in an affectionate style that life should be a slow progress like summer water, which is simple and bright. "This is also my tone for my life, making it simple and lively."

　　experience

　　Travel to 17 countries and become a photography enthusiast.

　　"Different from the seriousness and sense of form of diplomatic work, happiness when taking photos is concrete, and the real, lively and steaming popularity of street life … …”

　　From painting to photography, Liu Xiaoxi’s love began by accident. In his senior year, Liu Xiaoxi went to Cuba as an exchange student for eight months. In Cuba, where materials are scarce, she even goes hungry. On the other hand, however, under her lens, the lack of material things did not make the country lonely. She recorded couples dancing casually on the beach, children running wantonly in the sun, and gentle smiling mother … …

　　"You have your blockade, I have my happiness," Liu Xiaoxi said. In the streets and lanes of Cuba, the strong street flavor made every tourist linger. At that time, she began to feel the pleasure of taking pictures.

　　Until now, talking about his experience in Cuba, Liu Xiaoxi is still full of emotion. Walking around the streets of Cuba with a camera, everyone smiles. Once, a mother took the initiative to hold her and wanted her to take a photo. "She said that she had never taken photos with this camera in her life and wanted to see what it looked like." At that moment, Liu Xiaoxi suddenly felt that the picture under the lens was warm, which was her initial "bud" for photography.

　　Because of work, Liu Xiaoxi has traveled a lot. Spain, Italy, France, Canada, Cuba, USA, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, Brazil … … She has traveled to 17 countries, but no matter where she is, she always puts on her pigtails, puts on her skirt and takes a camera to capture pictures everywhere. She hopes that she can record all the wonderful encounters during her journey.

　　The best gift of time to memory is Liu Xiaoxi’s rich mind and constantly discovering eyes. She used the lens to make the moment eternal and then gave it to more people.

　　Looking at Liu Xiaoxi’s photographs, a few words are accompanied by bright and warm photos. Some netizens left a message below: "I feel that time is still."

　　"There is a story behind every photo," Liu Xiaoxi told reporters in a brisk tone, pointing to a colorful carpet photo. "When traveling in Cappadocia, I stumbled into a carpeted courtyard by mistake, and it felt like I had entered the legendary flying carpet country." She saw the owner of the courtyard leisurely weaving beautiful carpets in the sunny yard. "Later, the locals told me that in Turkey, it is easier for a guy who can weave carpets to get a wife."

　　The blue flowers fixed under the camera, Liu Xiaoxi said, were the jacaranda season in Mexico City. Quiet, profound and melancholy, waiting for love in despair, the flower language of jacaranda is like a gentle novel.

　　The sea of clouds under the plane is layered. Liu Xiaoxi said that the plane flew over ushuaia at the end of the world, with a panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains and the raging sea. "After strait of magellan, the sun suddenly shone brightly and the clouds cast shadows on the sea. I began to brainstorm the spectacular scene of Magellan’s fleet passing through the Strait. Magellan would never have predicted that there would be an airplane like this 500 years later ‘ Big bird ’ , carrying passengers to fly lightly from the straits that they have experienced. "

　　In Liu Xiaoxi’s eyes, when facing the world, the lack of language needs a lens to make it meaningful. After leaving more and more beauty, a tiny seed began to sprout in her heart.

　　leave

　　Starting a photography studio in naked resignation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

　　"In the seemingly lackluster life, there are still beautiful things that need to be discovered. Sometimes I feel like this ‘ Idiot ’ Suitable for being a craftsman. "

　　After seeing the wider world, Liu Xiaoxi wanted to find another possibility of life.

　　"The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has opened up a world for me. Four years of overseas assignment is a constant running-in experience. In the process, I have improved my horizons, but I have gradually realized that there are more possibilities in life besides diplomats." Liu Xiaoxi said that it was not difficult to make the decision to choose naked resignation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Between becoming a successful person in the traditional sense and wanting herself the most, she did not hesitate to choose the latter.

　　"The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requires rigor and accuracy, and I can’t make mistakes. I must put myself in a highly concentrated shell, but photography has the freedom I want to try." With the consent of his parents, Liu Xiaoxi left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and suddenly became a "free man" without "five insurances and one gold", job and establishment.

　　Without too much transition period, Liu Xiaoxi happily plunged into the new world. In April, she participated in a week-long panda keeper experience project as a travel experiencer, and returned to Chengdu to experience a "shovel officer" at the panda base.

　　"I suddenly feel that the pattern of life is broader, so I have been walking and patting." Liu Xiaoxi told reporters that she always thought that photographers are a very delicate industry, and they often didn’t study professionally at first, and they didn’t know the beauty of creating in the light and shadow interweaving until they picked up the camera. "This year, a friend of mine also quit his well-paid job and decided to be a photographer. I admire such people who follow their inner desires and work hard for them. "

　　After leaving her job, Liu Xiaoxi used her savings to rent a loft as a studio in Beijing. Small studio, devoted all her efforts, hand-made shooting props, carefully selected clothing accessories, often in the middle of the night while retouching, while thinking about how to set the scene. In order to get a drink bottle with retro elements in summer, she even "grinded" with her aunt in the grocery store for a long time.

　　After becoming a photographer, Liu Xiaoxi took pictures of Dior show, fashion bloggers, children with clear eyes, a happy and smiling bride and a mother who loves life … … More and more, she feels that there is still something beautiful to be discovered in the seemingly lackluster life.

　　"No matter how noisy the world is, the craftsman’s heart must be quiet and stable." After peeling off the sweaty bangs, Liu Xiaoxi smiled and said to the reporter, "Sometimes I feel like this ‘ Idiot ’ It is suitable to be a craftsman. "

　　I finished talking with reporters, and it was early the next morning. After a simple grooming, Liu Xiaoxi began to prepare for the shooting in a few hours. She said in a circle of friends, "When learning how to distribute light, I will be confused from time to time because of how to distribute light and shadow. Sometimes I feel that life is like a photo, and it will be fuller with light and shadow. "

　　To talk/talk

　　Liu Xiaoxi frankly face doubts:

　　It’s not an impulse to leave, it’s an ability.

　　"You have to be rich at home to be so headstrong." "This is still ‘ Spell dad ’ " "I also want to be so impulsive, but my face value is too low" … …

　　Facing Liu Xiaoxi from naked resignation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, netizens are admiring and admiring, but they are also mixed with some doubts. However, Liu Xiaoxi was quite calm about this. She told the reporter of Huaxi Dushi Bao that she was not an "impulsive" who said she would leave.

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao: You quit your job as a diplomat, which is generally regarded as promising and well-paid. There are some questioning voices on the Internet, saying that your family is rich. Is that right?

　　Liu Xiaoxi: I don’t come from a rich family, and I can save money when traveling. After I resigned, I started my studio with my own savings. I’m not the kind of "impulsive" who just leaves.

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao: Many people in your naked resignation don’t understand. Is it because of problems at work or other reasons?

　　Liu Xiaoxi: Before I decided to resign, I had a long time to think about it. Finally, I decided that I really liked photography and I was able to support myself by it. I didn’t leave because I wanted to escape from my life at that time. Leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not because it is not good, but because I want to see another possibility of life.

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao: You are not a professional photographer. How can you be sure that your photography studio can succeed in starting a business?

　　Liu Xiaoxi: Actually, I became a monk halfway. In the past, when I was studying retouching and toning, I needed to spend more energy on perception. I often sat in front of the computer for a whole day. At the beginning, the studio was not famous, and only received two business orders at most every week. In order to find more opportunities, I signed up as a still photographer for the crew. In the suburb of Beijing at MINUS 16℃, I took a shot for 16 hours, carrying heavy equipment, until my hands and feet were frozen and unconscious … … Entrepreneurship does encounter many difficulties, and I don’t want my parents to worry when they see it. I have grown up and am responsible for my life and choices. Moreover, I have always felt that I am a self-disciplined person since I was a child, and I believe I can be responsible for my life.

　　Huaxi Dushi Bao: Are there any regrets and self-doubts?

　　Liu Xiaoxi: I was not afraid of failure because I liked it before. Later, I thought it over carefully, and the worst result was to find a new job. But so what, starting a business or taking photos? For young people, this is a sparkling swimming pool. People who jump are not good at swimming, so even if one day they climb ashore in a panic, you can say that I learned to swim.
