Imagine being a time traveler with a toolkit instead of a time machine! That’s Wang Jikang, a 40-year veteran in restoring China’s ancient buildings, who’s earned the nickname ’Building Doctor’ for his meticulous work.
Wang’s superpower? Ensuring every restored beam, tile, and carving stays true to its original design—like a Marvel hero for history buffs. His mantra? ’Preserve, don’t replace.’ From crumbling temples to weathered palaces, his projects erase centuries of wear while keeping the soul of these structures alive.
’These buildings are history books made of wood and stone,’ Wang says. His work isn’t just about fixing cracks—it’s safeguarding stories for Gen Z and beyond. With every project, he blends traditional craftsmanship (think centuries-old techniques!) with modern safety standards, creating a blueprint for sustainable cultural preservation.
Next time you see a gorgeously restored pagoda on your feed, remember: it might just be Wang’s handiwork, keeping China’s past Instagram-ready for the future.
