1. We once swore: "Get to know the Unknown Lake, love Luojia Mountain and stay with the Mogao Grottoes." We practiced such a sacred oath with love and life.

2. My career and most of my time have been in Dunhuang. If I write about Fan Jinshi without the protection, research and promotion of the Mogao Grottoes, I will not be able to write a true and complete Fan Jinshi simply by repeating those reports published many times on the Internet.

3. The past can't be recovered, and the future is uncertain at all. One can only have the present, and the only thing that can be taken away from him is the present. If you know this, you can't and won't lose anything, because you don't have anything. Any person lives only his present life, not any other life, the longest life and the shortest life.

4. It is safer and more reliable to retreat to any place than to retreat to your own heart.

5. Someone asked me where the happiness of my life lies? I think it is in what human nature requires him to do. A man has found his own reason to live, the reason to live meaningfully, and the fundamental force that has contributed to all his hobbies. It is this power that allows him to face all difficulties, so that he can finally face time, life and death frankly. Everything is bound to leave, and true happiness is to become the real self under the call of one's own mind.

6. Why can we never leave after all the ups and downs? I think that's because we are people of that era. We are classmates and understand each other. We never say "I love you", we just give each other the best things.

7. Protecting the Mogao Grottoes is a noble cause worthy of dedication all one's life, a hard cause that is bound to be dedicated all one's life, and an eternal cause that needs to be dedicated from generation to generation.

8. If my lover doesn't support me, then I will definitely leave Dunhuang. I'm not great enough to leave home and children for Dunhuang. I'm not that kind of person.

9. The creation of art also needs an epiphany.

1. If you can't find a place to settle your mind in this life, if your mind has been in exile, it will be like living in a long night. The present is nirvana, and the present is the pure land of Buddhism. Knowing this, the Mogao Grottoes are not my Buddhist country, the pure land of my life. The power of the heart is really incomparable! The strength of the heart lies in positive determination and perseverance.

11. Talent is the core of all work. As the saying goes, "Only good people can do good things." The success or failure of management depends on people. The progress of people, especially the renewal of ideas, is particularly important. The most important reason why Dunhuang cultural relics can make some achievements is that it has trained a high-level professional team under the advocacy of its predecessors.

12. Having talents means having competitiveness. The world's business, and finally the talent. Everyone is short of talent, and everyone is short of money, but the first thing is talent. So I think, what's going on in the world, one is about talents and the other is about money, but in the end, people are more important than money.
