Returnees

Back in 2018, in Beijing, I photographed young returnees who had studied abroad and were rebuilding life at home. My portraits and interviews trace career choices, family pressure and post-study abroad reintegration. Returnees 海归 pairs images with Hengtee Lim's "Different Worlds" and won a PX3 2019 honourable mention.
Rolly's Take
For those who navigate the delicate dance of identity upon returning home, this blog envelops you in a world of unspoken tensions and uncharted paths. It captures the essence of transformation against the backdrop of familial expectations, where success is not merely a destination but a nuanced journey. Here, the familiar feels foreign, and the ordinary becomes extraordinary; a quiet exploration of what it means to belong anew.
