Chapter 276: Dunhuang's Daughter

Fan Jinshi, a poetic name full of Chinese style, this name should be suitable in the Central Plains in the south of the Yangtze River, or in the splendid and magnificent north, and this desert blocked by wind and sand is somewhat incompatible, but this name is indeed a name that most of the old people in Dunhuang are familiar with.

The name can see a person's family background, which has nothing to do with the quality of the name, whether it is beautiful or not is related to the family environment at various levels, rural families hope that their children can become dragons and phoenixes, so they generally spend money to choose a broad name for their children, such as Qingyun, Anbang, loyalty and filial piety.

Middle-class families hope that their children can be safe and happy, and getting ahead is secondary, so they generally spend money to give their children a name such as Leju, Yiran, and Changle, as well as a name that asks a fortune teller to change his life according to the child's life.

Most upper-class families, mostly intellectual families, will give their children a name full of charm, including ideas, expectations, and blessings, such as Mr. Lu Xun's family of three sons, tree people, people, building people, etc., which is a realm higher than fame and fortune.

Qichao, Guowei, Kai-shek, Zedong, Yin Ke and so on.

The name of Jinshi, at first glance, is a scholarly family, a name that can only be taken out by a family background with a romantic family atmosphere, a splendid poem, and a report to Li Min.

Although she is a daughter, she still has ideas and ideals, and more importantly, she has her own persistence and knows what is the right thing.

Fan Jinshi, whose ancestral home is in Zhejiang, was born in the capital, and later grew up with his parents transferred to Mingzhu, and received a good family education since he was a child.

After completing her studies at Peking University, she entered the workplace, and the school assigned her to Dunhuang, and her family arranged for her to Xinjiang.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state invested a lot of resources in the construction of Xinjiang, and the environment of Xinjiang almost caught up with some second-tier cities in the mainland, but Dunhuang because of its geographical location and resource problems, although it was an important Silk Road in the past, but after the advent of the international industrial age, this road became like chicken ribs, so there was no big investment plan for the time being, and the environment of Dunhuang could be described as hard.

In the choice between Xinjiang and Dunhuang, Fan Jinshi chose Dunhuang with a harsh environment, because Dunhuang is an indelible wound for the Chinese archaeological community.

Moreover, in those days, obeying the arrangements of the motherland to serve the country in the most difficult environment was the mainstream value of that generation of young people.

But at the age of twenty-five, after working for a three-day train to Dunhuang, Fan Jinshi found that the real environment was even worse than he imagined.

Not to mention the wind and dust, the dry climate made her sunburn on the third day of her arrival, living in a mud house built with loess, the entire ecological environment of Dunhuang seems to be made of soil, and even the rice sometimes carries soil.

The Dunhuang Cultural Relics Research Institute is very famous in the archaeological community because of the matter of the Tibetan scripture cave, but because of the harsh environment, many people are discouraged, so the entire research institute, including Fan Jinshi and another classmate, the number of people is more than ten people.

But fortunately, the magnificence of Mogao Grottoes and Dunhuang made Fan Jinshi forget these harsh environments, and at the first glance of those documents and grottoes, Fan Jinshi felt that he might not be able to leave here.

She said that she had been here for forty-two years.

Forty-two years, half a century of life, have been dedicated to Dunhuang.

In the 80s, she has become the backbone of the institute, through years of discussion and cooperation with UNESCO, she launched the 'Dunhuang Digital' project with archaeologists from many countries the year before last, photographing more than 100 grottoes in Dunhuang as an impact, and carrying out preservation and database construction, so as to prevent these grottoes from being subjected to the 'Stein tragedy' during the Republic of China again.

And I hope that through the digital influence model, it can be introduced to more people through Dunhuang.

This project is of epoch-making significance for the preservation of Dunhuang culture, and also opens a new era of archaeology.

Jiangnan women are more gentle, but Fan Jinshi's gentleness has been exhausted by the wind and sand of Dunhuang and the sculptures and scriptures damaged by foreign scholars on the ruins.

This kind of personality is also unacceptable to other new colleagues at the institute, who privately call her a 'mean old woman'.

But those young colleagues, when they enjoyed the high-quality treatment of the institute and lived in the newly built dormitory, they might not have imagined that if it weren't for Fan Jinshi's insistence in Dunhuang back then, they would still be living in the earthen kiln.

For the inheritance and development of Dunhuang culture, Fan Jinshi not only dedicated her youth, but also endured the guilt of her family.

In the third year of her internship in Dunhuang, Fan Jinshi married her classmate Peng Jinzhang, but Peng Jinzhang was assigned to teach in her hometown after graduation, and Fan Jinshi insisted on her Dunhuang dream.

Therefore, the two couples who should have been newly married Yan'er, one for the motherland's education to the east, and the other for the motherland's cultural inheritance to the west, this difference is nineteen years.

At that time, the transportation was inconvenient, Fan Jinshi and the archaeology of Dunhuang, the husband and wife almost saw each other for a few years, usually exchanged letters, to send lovesickness, the two gave birth to two lives in the nineteen years, but because the environment of Dunhuang was too cruel, Fan Jinshi could only endure the pain of fostering the child in a relative's house.

Every time she went back to see her children and saw their strange eyes at her, as a mother, she almost broke down.

When Wang Yao went to visit the two, Peng Jinzhang said with a smile, "She is the Iron Lady, I have seen her cry a few times, twice because of the birth of a child, the first son was born prematurely in Dunhuang, the sanitary environment in Dunhuang is too poor, and it was supposed to go back to Wuhan to give birth, nothing was prepared, when I arrived, my son didn't even have a dress, as soon as she saw me, she cried, and felt sorry for her son." ”

"The second son was born in her hometown, but after being born was catching up with the ups and downs for five years, she was not easy to come back, and when she came back five years later, she didn't know the younger son standing in front of her, and she cried all of a sudden. ”

When Peng Jinzhang said this, Wang Yao found that Ms. Fan Jinshi secretly turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

For any mother, the mother's ignorance in front of her son is the biggest pain.

Fan Jinshi has been pampered since she was a child, her body is not too tough, and the wind and sand in Dunhuang are too hurtful, so she was often sick when she first arrived in Dunhuang, and then she adapted to it, but as she got older, she always needed someone to take care of her.

Husband Peng Jinzhang felt sorry for his wife and hoped that she could return to Mingzhu or Wuhan to work, and by the way, she could take care of the children, but Fan Jinshi, who had already given her soul to Dunhuang, insisted on staying in Dunhuang.

Finally, once Fan Jinshi was infected with the flu, a small cold caused pneumonia, and Peng Jinzhang, who came back from the rescue, asked her if she could go.

Fan Jinshi, as always, was indifferent and firm, "Don't go." ”

Defeated by his wife's stubbornness, Peng Jinzhang was transferred from Wuhan to the Dunhuang Research Institute with the help of the school leaders and the assistance of the Dunhuang officials, and became Fan Jinshi's 'assistant'.

If a husband is like this, what more can a woman ask for?

Fan Jinshi and his wife stayed in Dunhuang for more than 20 years, and the children grew up and had their own families, but for the family, Fan Jinshi always felt guilty.

But every time she saw the Dunhuang Grottoes, she still put down the 'little family' in her heart without hesitation.

"Compared with my teacher Chang Shuhong, I should only be regarded as worthy of the spirit of Dunhuang. The smile on the face of Fan Jinshi, who was already in the age of six, carried the brilliance of divinity.

Chang Shuhong, the first president of the Dunhuang Cultural Research Institute, has been stationed in Dunhuang for decades, and his tombstone is engraved with the 'Dunhuang Patron Saint' of the archaeologist.

Duan Wenjie, the second president of the Dunhuang Cultural Research Institute, followed Mr. Chang Shuhong to be stationed in Dunhuang, 20 years later than the retirement age, and handed over the third baton stationed in Dunhuang to Fan Jinshi at the age of 81.

Both gentlemen were born in Dunhuang culture and fused together, which is the spirit of the inheritors of Chinese culture, passed down from generation to generation, endlessly.

And Fan Jinshi, who is already in the age of sixties, will also inherit the will of his ancestors and continue to guard this magnificent piece of China.

Ms. Fan Jinshi said to Wang Yao, "Do you know what a great person looks like?"

Wang Yao shook his head.

"It's someone who knows what they want. Ms. Fan Jinshi said with a smile, "When I came here, I met Mr. Chang and Mr. Duan for the first time, Mr. Chang had already won the highest honor in the international art world at that time, but he put down his worldly fame and came here to protect our last cultural treasures, and restore the history and experience of China for future generations. ”

Wang Yao nodded, in awe.

"I'm just a college student, not as knowledgeable as Mr. Chang, not as skilled as Mr. Duan's painting attainments, the only thing I can inherit is their quality, this country is so big, every place, every corner has guardians like us, guarding the culture that belongs to the Chinese civilization diaspora, waiting for the day when it will break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. Ms. Fan Jinshi's inky black eyes flashed with a kind of charm, which shocked Wang Yao.

"I'm glad you visited, especially after seeing you, I feel like I'm looking at the future. Ms. Fan Jinshi looked at Wang Yao and said with a smile, "The clothes on your body, your attitude towards tradition and history, I am pleased, which can also prove that this context has not been broken." ”

"But the further I went, the more confused I became. Wang Yao asked the question that had been perplexing all this time.

"I wanted to stay in Dunhuang back then, but my father didn't agree, so he wrote a letter to Mr. Chang, hoping that I could go back, but the letter was stopped by me. Ms. Fan Jinshi said softly, "At that time, my father asked, is this my choice?" ”

"I hesitated, but in the end, I still like Dunhuang, I think I don't do it, maybe no one wants to do it, because my fellow intern classmates finally gave up. "So I replied to him that it was my decision." ”

"The old man, who has always liked to arrange for me, let go for the first time. Ms. Fan Jinshi's eyes contained crystal tears, "He said, since he has chosen, he will do it well." ”

"This sentence, in the countless nights when I wanted to give up, looking up at the Buddha murals in the grottoes, became a belief that made me firm, child, do you know how big Dunhuang is?" Ms. Fan Jinshi looked at Wang Yao and asked.

Wang Yao was stunned, and subconsciously shook his head, he knew what Fan Jinshi was asking.

"Dunhuang, is our life can not uncover the grandeur, but as long as the corner of the uncovered, it is enough for us to be worthy of this life, do not have to be a result, as long as it is worthy of conscience, is life. Ms. Fan Jinshi said softly, "It's normal to be confused, at a loss, and powerless, because this world is like this, you are confused now, but you haven't let go." ”

"Put it down?" Wang Yao frowned.

"Let go of yourself, you think you have carried so much, but in fact, you haven't started to move forward, if you don't move forward, how can you know where to go?" Ms. Fan Jinshi smiled and said, "Buddha, Qin Yan knows." ”

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows.

"I saw your paintings, and it reminded me of Mr. Duan. Ms. Fan Jinshi smiled, "But it really surprised me to see you in person, and I have a reluctant request." ”

You say. Wang Yaozheng said.

"I wanted to ask for a painting, but I couldn't draw it, it was the Cave of the Scriptures. Ms. Fan Jinshi sighed: "I don't know how to write. ”

"I, I can try. Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.
