It has the world’s largest collection of Buddhist art. The caves are full of priceless wall paintings and sculptures. Unfortunately, the site has been damaged by sand, weather and human activity. Thanks to the hard work of Fan Jinshi and her colleagues, we can still see these cultural treasures today. Fan began working as an archaeologist in Dunhuang after she graduated from Peking University. Her job was to study and protect the Dunhuang artworks. One day when she was comparing old photos with new ones, she made a shocking discovery. Some caves were completely different, and some of the old artworks were gone. “Will this happen to all the paintings?” she wondered. Fan made up her mind: she had to save these cultural treasures. Fan and her colleagues did everything they could; they limited the number of visitors, they put doors on the caves, and they did their best to control the temperature and humidity inside. However, Fan soon realized that the damage could only be slowed down—they could not stop it completely. In this harsh natural environment, these caves simply wouldn’t last forever. It was heartbreaking to think about it, but Fan did not give up. She and her colleagues continued to search for ways of preserving the treasures. They finally decided to make digital copies of the paintings. This was the start of the Digital Dunhuang project. After many years of hard work, the first part of the collection came online in 2016. Now, people all over the world can explore the unique art of the Mogao Caves without leaving their homes. Fan has dedicated her life to researching and preserving this important part of China’s cultural heritage. “The longer I’ve stayed here, the deeper my love has grown for Dunhuang,” Fan said. That is why people call her “the daughter of Dunhuang”. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
