Imagine growing up with an ancient city as your backyard 🌟. That's how Gulbakram Mumin spent her childhood beside the Jiaohe Ruins—a historic site in the northwest of the Chinese mainland's Turpan region.
Just like her father and grandfather, Gulbakram felt a deep connection to these mud-brick walls. After studying history and heritage protection at university, she returned home to follow their footsteps.
Now, as a cultural relics guardian, she helps preserve Jiaohe's walls and pathways for future generations. Each day, she dedicates herself to safeguarding the site's stories and secrets.
Gulbakram also leads visitors on journeys through winding passages, introducing young and old alike to the mysteries buried in every stone 🗺️🏺.
Beside these ruins, her devotion shines bright, showing us how one person's passion can keep history alive and inspire a deeper connection to our shared heritage.
