When I came home tonight, the TV was on but paused, with the title of a movie on the screen: 照片中的女孩, literally “the girl in the photo.” Looking it up, I found that it was an American movie and the original title was Girl in the Picture. It’s a documentary about a kidnapping victim, no connection to the napalm girl.
Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

The girls in the pictures
The other day I ran across a reference to napalm somewhere, realized you never really heard about napalm these days, and wondered if it was still around. (It’s not.) A few clicks later, I was looking at the Wikipedia article on the person “referred to informally as the girl in the picture and the napalm girl” (boldface is Wikipedia’s).
