美国一位25岁的华裔女孩吉娜·杨两年前失去了父亲,为了完成父亲生前憧憬的旅行,她用父亲的照片做了一个一比一大小的纸板人像,然后带着这个“纸板老爸”到欧洲旅行。

 
A woman whose father died before he could fulfill1 his travel dreams has paid tribute to him by making a life-sized(原物大小的) cardboard cutout(挖剪图像) of him the star of her holiday snaps.
 
Two years ago, New York photographer Jinna Yang was devastated2 when her father passed away from stomach cancer.
 
In emotional posts on her blog, Grease & Glamour3, she wrote about how her father had given up everything for his family.
 
According to Yang, her father immigrated4 to the United States at 17, and battled through odd jobs in order to survive.
 
The American Dream never worked out for him - he ended up at a dry cleaners, 12 hours a day, six days a week over 20 years.
 
In a post before his death, Yang wrote: "He's 52. He's never been to Europe or Africa. California. Florida. He never got to chase his dream of touring the world as a pro5 PGA golfer."
 
After he died, Yang said she reached the point where she "lost the will to live".
 
"I seemed to have it all -- a great job, a luxury apartment, solid long-term relationship with a man, an overflowing6 closet with more shoes than I could count," she wrote.
 
However, inside, she was deeply down.
 
"What people didn't see was the toll7 the combination of life events took on every inch of my body, heart, mind and soul," she added.
 
So one day, she woke up and decided8 to take back control of her life.
 
She blogged that she had bought a one-way ticket to Iceland, had sold most of her clothes and had quit her job.
 
"I left everything in New York City to travel the world for the first time with a life size cutout of my dad," she said.
 
"To share his story, and to help bring peace to my stepmother, my 22-year-old brother, my 9-year-old sister, and myself, I took him with me all over Europe to be photographed together in front of some of the world's most iconic destinations."
 
After documenting her voyage online, she said she hoped her journey would inspire others to follow their dreams and aspirations9.
