Honoring An Art Lover

Chinese-Indonesian collector Budi Tek received the French government's top award, the Legion of Honor, for his contributions to cultural links between China and France. Lin Qi reports.

Chinese-Indonesian collector Budi Tek, who has been battling pancreatic cancer for nearly two years now, hopes he gets "some more time" to accomplish his mission of boosting the image of Shanghai's Yuz Museum, which he founded three years ago.

The 60-year-old says this in the museum's cafeteria in the booming West Bund cultural hub. Visitors find the museum - transformed from a hangar of Longhua Airport - a perfect weekend hangout.
