The Daughter of Dunhuang
The survival of the Mogao caves during the turbulent times of the Chinese Cultural Revolution is largely due to the dedication of archaeologists such as Fan Jinshi 樊锦诗, noted Chinese archaeologist and longtime director of the Dunhuang Academy. Director Fan visited Rice University in 2014 to give a presentation on her lifetime of work on preserving and studying the caves.
