"The money I donated today is my contribution."
On May 4th, Fan Jinshi, the "daughter of Dunhuang", came to Peking University with a donation of10 million yuan to set up the Fan Jinshi Education Fund to support the study of Dunhuang studies in Peking University.
It is understood that this donation includes the positive energy award of "Lv Zhihe Prize-World Civilization Award" won by Fan Jinshi in 20/KOOC-0/9 (with a total prize of HK$ 20 million, half of which was donated to his alma mater and the other half to Dunhuang Research Institute), and the "He Li Science and Technology Achievement Award" won in 2020/KOOC-0/10,000.
On this basis, Fan Jinshi donated his savings for many years, making the principal of the fund reach100000 RMB.
At work, Fan Jinshi has donated 6.5438+0 million yuan from his salary every year for nearly 30 years to the Dunhuang Grottoes Protection Research Foundation in China; Every award-winning trophy, medal and bonus was also given to Dunhuang Research Institute. 20 14, when Mr. Fan retired, she donated 450,000 yuan in the provident fund account at one time. "You can't just think for yourself. This bonus should be' wisely taken' and' wisely used', and the bonus must be used in a cause that is conducive to social development. " Fan Jinshi said at the donation ceremony, "I hope that the establishment of Fan Jinshi Education Fund will play a positive role in the development of Dunhuang studies in Peking University."
Fan Jinshi is honorary president of Dunhuang Research Institute, a national outstanding academician, and once won the honorary title of "Outstanding Contributor to Cultural Relics Protection". But when people mention her, they always affectionately call her "the daughter of Dunhuang". It is Fan Jinshi's lifelong love and pursuit to pass on the beauty of Dunhuang.
From 65438 to 0962, Fan Jinshi, a major in archaeology in Peking University, came to Dunhuang, Gansu for an internship. "Look at a cave and say yes. It's good to see another one. I can't say how valuable it is, but it is shocking and exciting. " She will never forget her first meeting with Dunhuang.
1987, the Mogao Grottoes were approved as the first batch of world cultural heritage in China, and all the application materials were written by Fan Jinshi. Later, under her impetus, a series of protection regulations and protection plans were issued. In order to permanently preserve and utilize the cultural relics information of Dunhuang Grottoes, Fan Jinshi led the team to establish a systematic "Digital Dunhuang" resource library, so that Dunhuang culture and art can truly go out of the grottoes and go to the world.
By the time these huge projects landed, Fan Jinshi was nearly 80 years old and had worked hard for more than half a century. She did everything she could for Dunhuang.
At the same time, she pays close attention to the development of archaeology in Peking University, and also cares about her brothers and sisters. She has communicated with students many times in the form of letters, speeches and messages. On 20 19, she said to the freshmen in the letter, "Be a broad-minded and kind-hearted Peking University student." In 2020, she also sent a message to the freshmen of the Institute of Archaeology and Culture that they should have the mentality and preparation to sink into the secluded world and integrate their personal pursuit into the sacred cause of archaeology.
In 20 19, "Dunhuang Studies Research Center" was established in Peking University, with Fan Jinshi as honorary director. Today, the Fan Jinshi Education Fund donated by her has become another important node between Peking University and Dunhuang Studies. The story of Peking University and Dunhuang has been handed down from generation to generation, and the chapter is yet to be continued. Fan Jinshi once said: "We will go wherever the party and the country need us to go." In order to fulfill this promise, she exchanged her hair for Dunhuang's "Forever Face".
