People dance during the annual Swedish Midsummer Festival in Manhattan, New York, June 23, 2017. At this unique celebration, adults and kids come together to picnic in the grass, decorate the midsummer pole, make flower wreaths, play traditional games and dance to authentic fiddle music. From Las Vegas' shooting spree to Manhattan's truck attack, from Texas' Hurricane Harvey to California's wildfires, from the advancing bull stock market to once-in-a-century total solar eclipse across U.S., seventeen photos covered the impressive moments of Americans through out the year. They were typical faces of the Americans, epitomizing the year of 2017 and reflecting the duplicity of their lives. (Xinhua/Wang Ying)
