For a herdsman in Tibet, his dream has long been to build the region’s first private museum, something he has been pursuing for 30 years.(CNTV)

But life has not been easy for Qunjue and his family.

His wife said, "There have been times when we really needed money. So I told him to sell some of the collection. But he was really mad and firmly said no. As time has gone on, I’ve gradually come to understand his persistence."

Qunjue began the application for his museum 17 years ago and eventually his efforts paid off. In 2010, local archaeological authorities visited him and helped to catalogue his collection. After 2 year’s planning, his landmark museum began construction in April 2013.

He said, "I’m so grateful right now. My dream is finally coming true! I want to make it up to my family and friends who have done so much to support me for all these years."

There is still a lot of work to be done. But Qunjue hopes that more and more tourists will come to his home town to visit the museum once it’s completed.
