A copy of a Northern Wei Dynasty mural at Cave 428 in the Mogao Caves by Chang Shuhong. Pan Yunhe, academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former principal of Zhejiang University, who joined the initial digitalization exploration of the Mogao Caves, recalls his first meeting with Chang Shuhong in 1982. At that time, Chang Shuhong was among the jury of Pan's first academic program, which pioneered in generating patterns with artificial intelligence. Ahead of his time, he could always absorb new things into his own creation," Pan says, adding that Chang Shuhong was very kind and gentle to young people like him, who was at that time in his 30s. In 1998, the Dunhuang Academy and Zhejiang University launched an academic program led by Pan and sponsored by the National Natural Science Foundation of China to explore preservation, research and utilization of the Mogao Caves on a digital basis.
