Besides, he interviews over 30 old people to write stories about the old buildings and shares them over the internet. In addition, with the purpose of further educating people about the importance of preserving and safeguarding the historic and cultural relics, he visits schools to tell students about the ways of preserving the cultural heritage.What a big difference Chen Lei makes!
