楼兰古城——一个沙漠中的失落帝国
英文新闻：
The lost land of Loulan—the secrets of an ancient civilization Among the greatest historical mysteries in the world, one draws the eyes of archaeologists and historians worldwide to the middle of nowhere in Northwest China—the legendary Loulan. Now with more findings coming out of the millennia-old ruins, the once mysterious Loulan offers a rare glimpse into the history of Xinjiang, the close relations between the western and central regions of ancient China, as well as the shared cultural identity of Chinese civilization.
"Everything here has great value," says 19-year-old Adiljan Jilir, the youngest of the rangers tasked with preserving the Loulan Ruins. Due in no small part to the lasting fame of Loulan, the ancient city and nearby tombs have become a hot spot for uninvited tourists and even a target of cultural relic theft, despite their far-flung location.
To keep the ruins safe, Adiljan and his teammates make regular patrols around the ruins every day. In addition to the intruders, they have bigger challenges to deal with—the dreadful weather and the no less dreadful loneliness. He says he knew little about Loulan before taking the job, but has
now established a profound bond with the ancient ruins after reading a lot of history books.

楼兰古城——一个沙漠中的失落帝国
世界上最伟大的历史之谜之一，将全球考古学家和历史学家的目光吸引到中国西北偏僻之地——传奇的楼兰。

如今，随着越来越多的考古发现从千年前的遗址中揭开面纱，曾经神秘莫测的楼兰为人们提供了一个难得的视角，让人们得以了解到了新疆的历史、古代中国中西部地区之间的密切关系，以及中华文明的共同文化特征。

19岁的Adiljan Jilir是负责保护楼兰遗址的护林员中最年轻的一位，他说：“这里的一切文物都具有很高的价值。

”楼兰古城和附近的古墓虽然地处偏远，但却成为很多不速之客的热门景点，甚至成为文物盗窃的目标。

为了保证遗址的安全，Adiljan和他的队友们每天都会定期在废墟周围巡逻。

除了入侵者，他们还要面对可怕的天气和同样可怕的孤独等巨大挑战。

他说，在接受这份工作之前，他对楼兰知之甚少，但在阅读了大量历史书籍之后，现在他早已与这座古老的遗迹建立了深厚的感情。
