New 'My China Album' captures moving stories

Neil Schmid, a researcher from Virginia, USA, has lived in Dunhuang for seven years, drawn by its rich history and the Mogao Caves, his favorite place in the world. First visiting in 1987, he fell in love with the city and the caves, which he believes require "several lifetimes" to fully understand. Schmid has linked Dunhuang's ancient art to Western masterpieces, noting similarities between a Mogao Cave painting and Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi. Comfortable living in the Gobi Desert, Schmid admires Dunhuang's culture, food, and friendships.
