I-charm engabonakaliyo ye-Shuanglin yisiphumo sokuqhubeka kunye nemigudu edibeneyo yabakhuseli benkcubeko yenkcubeko amashumi eminyaka, uLi uyavuma.Ngomhla wama-20 kuMatshi, ngo-1979, itempile yayiphakathi kweendawo zokuqala zabakhenkethi ezavulelwa uluntu.

Ukuqala kwakhe ukusebenza kwitempile ngowe-1992, ezinye iiholo zazinophahla oluvuzayo yaye kukho neentanda ezindongeni.Ngo-1994, iHolo yeeKumkani zaseZulwini, eyayikweyona meko imbi, iye yahlaziywa kakhulu.

Ngokuqatshelwa kwe-UNESCO, izinto zathatha ithuba lokuba ngcono ngo-1997.Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iiholo ezili-10 ziye zalungiswa.Kufakwe iifreyimu zomthi ukukhusela imifanekiso eqingqiweyo epeyintiweyo.“Ezi zisuka kookhokho bethu yaye azinakuthotywa nangayiphi na indlela,” ugxininisa njalo uLi.

Akukho monakalo okanye ubusela obubikiwe kwi-Shuanglin phantsi kwamehlo kaLi kunye nabanye abagadi ukususela ngo-1979. Ngaphambi kokuba amanyathelo okhuseleko anamhlanje aqhutywe, ukujikeleza kwezandla kwenziwa ngamaxesha aqhelekileyo yonke imini nobusuku.Kwi-1998, inkqubo yokubonelela ngamanzi angaphantsi komhlaba yokulawula umlilo yafakwa kwaye ngo-2005, inkqubo yokujonga ifakwe.

Kulo nyaka uphelileyo, iingcali zeDunhuang Academy zamenywa ukuba zihlole imifanekiso eqingqiweyo, zihlole iinzame zokugcinwa kwetempile kwaye zicebise ngeeprojekthi zexesha elizayo.Ulawulo lwetempile lufake isicelo sobuchwephesha bokuqokelelwa kwedijithali obuya kuhlalutya nawuphi na umonakalo onokwenzeka.

Kwiintsuku ezizayo, iindwendwe ziyakwazi ukonwabela amehlo azo kwiifrescoes ezivela kwi-Ming Dynasty ezigubungela i-400 yeemitha ezikwere zetempile, utshilo uChen.
