Wang Wanfu is deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Conservation Research Department of the Dunhuang Academy. Wang Wanfu has been guarding the Mogao Grottoes for 32 years.

He has grown from a "novice" in conservation and restoration to an expert "cultural relics doctor" in the conservation of murals and painted sculptures. "Technology is the core driving force for the development of cultural relics protection and is the secret to making the Mogato Grottoe last forever," he said.
