自一九八五年，冯学敏取得公费研修生到日本进修后，东京成为了她的主要工作及生活的地方。虽然寄居海外，她一直胸怀祖国。在国外的廿六年间，这名游子经常因工作关系或受国内机構特邀，走遍了中国大江南北。

“望乡”摄影展集合了冯学敏多年来的精彩摄影作品，并包括了她在二Ｏ一Ｏ年为上海世博会展拍摄的专题 ﹣熊猫故乡中的部份作品。

冯学敏一九五三年生于上海，七Ｏ年以知青身份被下放到云南农场，后来回到上海，于八二年才出任上海画报社的摄影记者。现时，她是日本ＡＤＫ制作中心摄影部局长。上月下旬，她获邀到北京出席第九届中华全国文学艺术工作者代表大会。

中国政协副主席，中国文学艺术界联合会主席孙家正曾撰文表扬她，“冯学敏是一位不知疲倦的朝圣者，在祖国宽广博大的土地上虔诚地行走者，以一颗拳拳的赤子心和艺卫家特有的审美眼光，执着地审视着中华文化，记錄着中华风物，将她的所遇所见所思所感幻化成一个个精彩的画面，并将之传递给海外的读者和观众。”

日本媒体把冯学敏称为“影像诗人”。在一九九九年她获得日本摄影界的「太阳奖」，当时是日本摄影界三十六年来首次将该奖授予一位外国人。

The Japanese media named him “a poet in imageries” and a former cultural minister of China called him “an untiring pilgrim who has piously chronicled the vast territories of China with photographs for the sake of all viewers”.

For over a quarter of a century, Feng Xuemin has doggedly recorded his personal encounters with the scenic spots in China and documented his passion for his motherland.

Feng went to study photography in Japan as a government sponsored student in 1985. Tokyo has become his home turf since then but his ties with China have grown even stronger during his stay overseas. The chores in his workplace and the invitations from various organizations in China have sent him to almost everywhere in China.

Born in Shanghai in 1953, Feng was sent to learn from the farmers of a small Yunnan commune during the Cultural Revolution in 1970. He fully adapted himself to the countryside and Yunnan Province became his second native home. When the Cultural Revolution ended, he returned to Shanghai and started working as a photo-journalist for the Shanghai Pictorial Publishing House in 1982. His life has been as adventurous as his pictures.

In 1999, he was awarded the “Sun Award”, the highest honour in photography in Japan for his photographic report on Yunnan. It was then the first time that such award was given to a non-Japanese artist in its history of 36 years. Feng now heads the photography department of the noted Japanese ADK Production Center.

In “Passion for Homeland” exhibition, Feng will put on display some of the imageries that he took over the years including a few pictures from the series that he took for Shanghai Expo 2010 on the adorable pandas in Sichuan.
