A few years ago, I read the biography of Liang Si Cheng, a famous Chinese architectural scholar.
He was educated in the states and returned to China to complete the only modern document of Chinese architecture. The document he created became one of the most important records during and after the cultural revolution. Various stories are told of how his writing on architecture saved some relics from being destroyed.
To be continued when I find the book again or read more about him. Its been a while since I thought about it.
