In 1997, Soong, a photography lover, happened across a photo exhibit in Taiwan by Doctors Without Borders, and was transfixed by a picture of an African child. "This child was staring at me intensely. His body was disproportionately small and he had a rude IV attached to his scalp."
1997 年，喜歡攝影的他，偶然走進「無國界醫師（MSF）」在台攝影展場，當場就被一張非洲小孩的照片吸引：「這個孩子深深地凝視著我，不成比例的小小身軀，刺眼的點滴打在頭皮上。」
