Liu Xiaoxi, who has started a career in photography after leaving her job at the Chinese embassy in Mexico, has become a hot topic among the online community. Xing Yi reports.

Many Chinese people think that a job on a diplomatic team is too good to quit.

So when 28-year-old Liu Xiaoxi left her embassy post as an attache late last year to start a career in photography, she quickly became a popular topic among the Chinese online community.

Liu, from Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, studied Spanish at Beijing International Studies University and was recruited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2010.

She worked at the Chinese embassy in Mexico before leaving her job.
