‘Relic doctor’ saves aging artifacts
XI'AN-While standing in a damp and moldy tomb, Yang Wenzong felt overwhelmed as he gazed at the murals that date back more than 1,200 years. Despite the decay, the colors and lines of the frescoes were still recognizable, but some of the delicate paintings were incomplete due to theft and destruction by tomb raiders. Yang and his team were conducting a salvage excavation in the 12-meter-deep tomb of Han Xiu, a well-known chancellor during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). After preparation work, Yang used a brush to delicately reinforce and repair the incomplete paintings. Since graduating from Northwest University in 1984, Yang, 58, has devoted himself to the protection and restoration of cultural relics. To him, cultural relics are like elderly patients and he is a doctor who treats them. "The restoration of a tomb's murals starts by transferring them," Yang said. "Most of these paintings, like elderly patients, produce 'symptoms' including cracking and mildew, so a process of ... » Learn More about ‘Relic doctor’ saves aging artifacts

Post Coup Myanmar: India must be careful
It will not be to India's advantage to create misperceptions that it is bandwagoning with some Anglo-American project for regime change in Myanmar, argues Ambassador M K Bhadrakumar.

Photograph: Lauren DeCicca/Getty Images The Modi government made a strident call on February 1 that the 'rule of law and the democratic process must be upheld' in Myanmar. The statement was unabashedly intrusive, and, ironically, completely overlooking that human rights, rule of law, democratic pluralism, etc are universal values that India also can (and should) be held accountable for. Lapping up the neocon prescriptions from Washington may not serve India's interests, in general, and they are very specific to Myanmar. The government failed to fathom the US's motivations in ... » Learn More about Post Coup Myanmar: India must be careful
Profile: Relic “doctor” brings frescoes back to life with healing hands
Video PlayerClose XI'AN, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- While standing in a damp and moldy tomb, Yang Wenzong felt overwhelmed gazing at the murals along the walls that date back more than 1,200 years. Despite the depredation of time, the colors and lines of the frescoes are still recognizable, while some of the delicate paintings are incomplete due to the destruction of tomb robbers years ago. Yang and his team were conducting a salvage excavation in the 12-meter-deep tomb decorated with the delicate and peculiar murals. The tomb's owner, Han Xiu, is a well-known chancellor during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). With bated breath, Yang used a brush to reinforce and repair the incomplete paintings after early-stage preparations. Since graduating from Northwest University in 1984, Yang, 58, has devoted himself to cultural relic protection and restoration. In his eyes, weather-beaten cultural relics are like "elderly patients," and he is a "doctor" who treats them.
