On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Peking University, Fan Jinshi, an alumnus of Peking University and the "daughter of Dunhuang", returned to Peking University, donated 10 million yuan and set up Fan Jinshi Education Fund to support Dunhuang Studies research at Peking University. The reporter learned from Peking University that the funds Fan Jinshi donated to Peking University this time are mainly the "Positive Energy Award" of the Hong Kong "Lv Zhihe Award - World Civilization Award" in 2019, part of the "Science and Technology Achievement Award" of the Ho Leung Ho Lee Foundation in 2020, and Fan Jinshi's savings over many years. Choosing a thing in one's life, the heart returns to Dunhuang. In 1958, Fan Jinshi entered Peking University to study archaeology. After graduating in 1963, she went to work in the Mogao Grottoes and devoted her life to the protection, research, and promotion of Dunhuang cultural heritage. "I have done one thing in my life without any regrets." Fan Jinshi once said, "The spirit and style of study of Peking University, the importance of the Dunhuang Grottoes and my responsibility encourage me to devote myself to the protection, research and promotion of the Dunhuang Grottoes." In recent years, in addition to the protection and research of the cultural heritage of Dunhuang Studies, Fan Jinshi has also been committed to promoting the training of research talents in Dunhuang Studies. In 2019, the Dunhuang Research Institute and Peking University jointly established the "Dunhuang Studies Research Center" to jointly cultivate high-level Dunhuang Studies researchers, and Fan Jinshi was the honorary director. I am a student of Peking University. Thanks to the excellent academic atmosphere of my alma mater's' diligence, rigor, pragmatism, and innovation ', as well as the earnest guidance and careful cultivation of many senior teachers, I have the ability to make some contributions to the Dunhuang Grottoes. "Fan Jinshi said that this donation is a contribution she should make, "It is hoped that the establishment of Fan Jinshi Education Fund will play a positive role in the development of Dunhuang Studies at Peking University."
