Why I Work for FREE at China’s Top Museum #chinesefamily

Ever wondered what it really takes to become a volunteer at one of China’s top museums? It’s not just a walk in the park—it’s hundreds of applicants, brutal written tests, strict interviews, and surviving my own daughters' brutal critiques during mock exams! With zero salary, zero subsidy, and standing for hours on the exhibition floor, why do I do this? Is it just about sharing history, or something much deeper? Join me behind the scenes of my journey as a museum docent, from the midnight study sessions to the ultimate question from my daughter: "Dad, why do you work so hard if they don't even pay you?"
