4月前

7月8日，甘肃省文物局网站发布通知，公布了2024年甘肃省文物局直属事业单位校园招聘面试成绩。

其中，报考敦煌研究院石窟考古的“考古圈团宠”钟芳蓉以92.40分的成绩位列其应聘岗位的第一名，进入体检环节。

钟芳蓉来自湖南耒阳，2020年高考时作为农村留守女孩的她以676分、全省文科第四名的成绩报考了在很多人看来颇为冷门的北大考古学专业，受到外界广泛关注。

Peking University archaeology graduate Zhong Fangrong, who surprised many netizens four years ago when she chose the major after acing the national college entrance exam, plans to work in Dunhuang, in Northwest China's Gansu province.

多家考古研究机构向钟芳蓉送出专业大礼包，鼓励她笃定信念。当时她收到9个包裹重量近50斤，许多网友称她是“被全国考古宠起来的小女孩”。

After she opted to study archaeology, nine museums and archaeological institutions across the country sent gift packages with a combined weight of nearly 25 kilograms to support her decision, including archaeological reports, books about relics and related tools. Many netizens described her as "a girl spoiled by the archaeological circle".

有人对她的选择不理解，认为考古专业太冷门，没有前途，会因此失去获得高收入的机会。但钟芳蓉的想法很简单：“从小就喜欢”，并表示“选择专业只用几分钟但我会坚持很久”。

Netizens had expressed doubts about her decision to study archaeology, claiming that given her family background, the niche major was not expected to result in a lucrative career. Zhong responded at the time that she did not place too much value on a job's salary.

当时，敦煌研究院名誉院长樊锦诗给钟芳蓉送去口述自传《我心归处是敦煌：樊锦诗自述》并表达对她的祝福和希望：“不忘初心，坚守自己的理想，静下心来好好念书”。

2020年，钟芳蓉在接受采访时表示，读考古是自己的选择，敦煌研究院是自己很向往的地方。

In 2020, the daughter of migrant workers said she aimed to study archaeology at Peking University because she had been touched by the story of Chinese archaeologist Fan Jinshi, who devoted herself to protecting Dunhuang's cultural heritage.

如今，四年过去，本科毕业的钟芳蓉初心未改，毕业即奔赴理想奔向敦煌研究院，用行动力证了四年前那句“我会坚持很久”。
