SHE captured hearts around the world after taking a cardboard cutout of her dead father on her travel.

    A year on, Jinna Yang has paid tribute to her late dad in time for Father’s Day — thanking him for saving her life.

    The fashion blogger uploaded a new video to her website, describing how her life has changed since his passing from cancer three years ago.

    Last year she left her apartment in New York City after struggling to come to terms with his death, and booked a one-way ticket to Iceland to begin her journey.

    “It’s been an entire year since I left everything behind, and so much has changed.” she wrote in the heartbreaking post.

    “I finally have my own apartment, have traveled throughout Sweden, Denmark, Morocco, Mexico, Iceland, France, Italy, Croatia, U.K., seen places that I had never seen, did things that scared me, found peace past my pain, and have somehow managed to pay my rent every single month by doing what I love.

    “And I know that even though he isn’t here with me in person, he saved me from that downward spiral — reminding me that life can be beautiful, that there is still good in this world — and that it is worth every bit of hurt, sweat and tears to follow your dreams and try to make the world a better place.

    “So for this Father’s Day, I wanted to thank my dad for saving my life with this tribute video.

    “I hope that this will inspire you to hug your dad and family, take a chance on yourself, against all odds, start your journey to healing, find peace past your pain and live with purpose.”
