Lin Wan was once a promising war correspondent on the verge of her dream—until she locked her camera in the attic to support her husband Chen Mo’s investment banking career and raise their daughter Xiaotang. Ten years as a housewife brought her nothing but her husband’s affair with his secretary and her daughter’s scorn: “Mom used to be cool, but now you only care about veggies.” Until an old colleague from a war zone reached out: “We need photos that make the world see.” Wiping dust off her camera, she touched the scar on her hand—from a Kosovo interview years ago, a piece of “herself” she’d hidden for “family.” When her photo series *Schoolbags in Ruins* won an international award, her ex-husband knelt with a ring at the award ceremony, and her daughter shouted from the crowd: “Mom is my light.” But she smiled and turned away: “This time, I’ll press the shutter for myself.”
