Collector promotes humanistic culture

Head of private museum association in Hubei believes in sharing his passion for art

He cannot play the piano, yet he owns one of the biggest piano museums in China. He is not a painter, yet he just opened an art museum. He is not a mechanic, yet he invented a water-resistive barrier that could potentially help prevent flooding. He is not a tycoon, but simply immersed in his affections.

Born in Huanggang city, Hubei province, He Lijun started a company which deals with geological disaster treatment while studying for his master's degree at China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, the capital of the province.
