Chin, who retired in 1985, picked up the camera once again and resumed his creativity. He revisited his youthful enthusiasm and ideals for photography, and found his true self. He not only pursued the articulation of his photographic works, but also infused his reflections and mood through the images. At that time, he was the consultant and columnist for the Great World Travel Magazine, the travel columnist of Photo Vision (USA), and the columnist of C-Weekly (Dallas). He also wrote travel journal for China Airlines Magazine and China Times Weekly, shooting travel topics for these magazines. He had embarked on several shooting trips to China, including Xinjiang, Tibet, and Qinghai, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. In Yunnan, he took many portraits of people of local ethnic minorities. The Old Nakhi Woman uses light and shadow to present a simple outline. The expression and wrinkles on the old woman’s face are vivid.
