If it had not been for Fan Jinshi and her team,the world cultural heritage (at Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes
in a remote Chinese desert might have long been destroyed by sand,weather or humans.
Fan has spent more than half a century fighting an uphill battle to preserve the ancient Buddhist wall paintings
at Dunhuang.in Northwest China's Gansu Province.Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are a huge collection of Buddhist
art-more than 2,000 Buddha figures and 45,000 square meters of paintings spread among 735 caves.It is one of
China's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Archaeologist Fan was sent to Dunhuang after graduating from Peking University in 1963.While in
Dunhuang,a remote village in the desert then,Fan lived in an abandoned temple.At first,she did not even dare to
go out to the toilet at night.To protect the treasures from sand and dampness.Fan and other workers put doors on
the caves,planted trees and started monitoring temperature and humidity (in the caves.They also controlled
the number of visitors.
In the late 1990s,with tourism booming nationwide since national holidays were extended,the local
government planned to go public with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes,but found Fan firmly in their way."The heritage
would have been destroyed if it had been listed,"she said.
Dunhuang Academy has now photographed and catalogued online all the sculptures and paintings."Despite
our efforts to minimize damage,we can't completely stop them from being eroded ()But the digital database
will last”
Fan was grateful when her husband joined her in Dunhuang in 1986 after 19 years of separation.Her two sons
grew up in Shanghai with their aunt."I have not been a good mother or wife.With regard to my family,I'm full of
guilt,"she said.Fan.81.retired four years ago as the director of Dunhuang Academy but continues her efforts as an
honorary president of Dunhuang Academy.
