The Mogao Caves( 莫高窟)are a very special place in China, which lie in Dunhuang, Gansu Prvince. The Mogao Caves are thousands of years old. In 1987, they were listed as a world heritage( 遗 产 ) site by UNESCO.
Many people, including archaeologists ( 考古学家) and researchers, work hard to take care of the Mogao Caves and learn more about them. Fan Jinshi is one of them.
Fan Jinshi was born in Beijing on July 9, 1938. Her father graduated from Tsinghua University and he had a strong interest in Chinese classical art and culture.
Influenced by her father, Fan Jinshi liked visiting museums when she was in middle school. With the great love of Chinese culture, she studied in the archaeology department in Peking University and graduated in 1963. Then she started working at Dunhuang. There she spent almost 60 years taking care of Dunhuang. People call her the "Daughter of Dunhuang".
On May 4, 2023, Fan Jinshi returned to Peking University. And she brought back 10 million RMB donations to set up the Fan Jinshi Educatio Fund( 基 金 ) to support the research of Dunhuarng at Peking University.
"Money should be spent in the right way. People cannot only think of themselves, " she said. "Hopefully the Fund can help Dunhuang studies at the university, so it can raise cultural confidence and strength. "
①That future is almost here. "I think it's going to happen. Without doubt, in ten years. . . even faster, " said Sebastian Thrun in 2021. At that time, his young company was working on developing flying car-eVTOL.
②Flying to work or school sounds unbelievable. It is fun to fly. "There would never be heavy traffic again, because the sky is very, very large, " says Thrun. He also thinks eVTOLs could be greener than common cars. "We go much faster. We go in a straight line, and we fly on less energy, " he says.
③So far, though, flying cars haven't become successful as a product. Will their day come? There are still many problems to solve. Their high price means most people won't be able to afford one. So, some companies are developing them as air taxis so that people could pay to take. The main problem with flying cars is safety. To make eVTOLs safer, many developers are aiming to make them self-flying—no human pilot required.
④Another problem is space. Most planes need long runways to take off and land. Lifting straight up and down like a helicopter(直升机) solves this problem. Finding places to put flying cars could be tricky, especially in crowded cities. But maybe some could stay on top of buildings.
⑤What do you think? Are flying cars a good idea, or should we find other ways to get around in the near future?
