Liu Tuo, Ph.D., of the School of Archaeology and Archaeology of Peking University, died on October 26 after visiting the murals of the Cave caves in Abajiazar Cave in Sichuan, a key national cultural relics protection unit. On the 27th, Liu Tuo's father posted "A Father Says The Last Words to His Son" to commemorate Liu Tuo.

"A Father's Last Words to His Son"
October 26, 2021 is a black day, our son Liu Tuo died unexpectedly, which made us sad.
You are only 31 years old, graduated from Peking University, simple, enthusiastic, persistent, but also humorous and interesting you, let us and our family and friends are full of expectations, and hope for a better future. And now your life will always stop at 31 years old!
You are passionate about life, serious about hobbies, your life is so wonderful and attractive, so many people envy it.
Unfortunately, child, you are so desperate to move forward, regardless of the dangers around you and the worries of your parents!
Your life experience, your knowledge reserves, are enough to make you have a very good future! Every trip reminds you that safety comes first, and you can only enjoy life if you live healthy.
At this moment, everything has stopped, and you will no longer enjoy the pleasure of visiting the monuments and never see this beautiful world again.
You leave us with endless pain of fantasies and longings. In addition to your hobbies and interests, the most sorry thing you are is the parents, family and friends who love you and raise you!
Maybe it is to ask for benevolence, you are full of fun because you love cultural relics, and you take your life because of visiting cultural relics, may you have no troubles in heaven and continue to be with cultural relics.
