Photographer Captures Beauty Of Spiral Staircases In Campuses

Nanjing Hohai University

Photographer Wei Xiaohui spent a month taking pictures of spiral stairs in every college based in Nanjing, capital of east China’s Jiangsu Province. He found 30 spiral stairs in total and made these photos a collection memorizing campus life. Wei believes the spiral stairs stand for a spirit of fighting for dreams and moving forward.

“Young people can see hopes in the photo. I hope they can overcome every challenge in their lives as each trouble can be a chance for changing,” said Wei.

Wei visited 15 colleges and 28 campus in Nanjing, and found 30 spiral stairs at the end.
