Rebuilding Notre Dame

Under new joint Sino-French plans, cultural heritage experts from China will fly to Paris next year to help rebuild the iconic fire-damaged cathedral, Wang Kaihao reports.

When the oak-framed roof of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris burned to the ground in a blaze on April 15, people around the world wept over the fate of the iconic 12th-century monument.

Yet, thanks to an unprecedented display of global unity, the rebirth of this cultural colossus is now guaranteed.
