High-profile archaeology grad plans to work in Dunhuang
China DailyPeking University archaeology graduate Zhong Fangrong, who surprised many netizens four years ago when she chose the major after acing the national college entrance exam, plans to work in Dunhuang, in Northwest China's Gansu province. "We gained professional knowledge through six courses in archaeology and followed our professors to archaeological sites for field investigations," Zhong said. In 2020, the daughter of migrant workers said she aimed to study archaeology at Peking University because she had been touched by the story of Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi, who devoted herself to protecting Dunhuang's cultural heritage. The story of Fan, also a distinguished alumna of Peking University, inspired Zhong to dream of conducting research in Dunhuang, a city renowned for its crucial role on the ancient Silk Road and home to the Mogao Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
