25-year-old mural restorer embraces solitary career

Born and raised in Shanxi, a province well-endowed with historical sites and relics, Guo was fascinated by classical Chinese culture and history, and chose to study the restoration of cultural relics in college.

Beginning two years ago, Guo started to restore murals at Guangsheng Temple, which was first built in AD 147. [Photo from Guo Jia's Sina Weibo]
