Wang Jikang is a man with a rare power - the ability to make ancient buildings as good as new! That’s because in his work he’s always stuck to one cardinal principle - that the restoration should preserve the original appearance. In this sense, he’s like a "doctor" for ancient structures, conducting timely repairs and reinforcements to eliminate potential hazards. Over the course of a dedicated career spanning 4 decades, he has honed his expertise in this field, devoting himself to preserving and promoting the techniques of Chinese ancient building restoration and the spirit of craftsmanship. Thanks to his energy, talent and unstinting hard work, he’s preserved the cultural heritage and historical memories lurking behind every ancient building he has worked on for future generations to enjoy.
