Xu Dongliang, a dedicated artisan, has spent over 30 years preserving the ancient murals of Turpan in northwest China's Xinjiang. Xu's fascination with art began in his childhood. He majored in fine arts at university, and his passion led him to Turpan where he discovered the allure of ancient murals. Every day, he restores fine details of the murals, from facial contours to clothing styles. Equally committed to the future, Xu mentors young conservators with strict discipline and high standards.
