There was a time when our country suffered unprecedented hardships. Like cutting a cake, foreign forces have eaten away all the land, resources, wealth and other things in our country. At that time, people's lives were in dire straits, and countless historic buildings were unfortunately damaged, and few of them could be preserved. Especially in some areas in the north, there are so many heartbreaking damages, among which the site of Yuanmingyuan is well known. In A.D. 1840, a gunshot from the British officially unveiled the humiliating history of this backward feudal dynasty. The backward Qing dynasty had no room for resistance, not only in military diplomacy, but also in national dignity.
In A.D. 1860, the British and French allied forces easily broke through the defense line of the Qing government in Beijing and entered the city on a large scale. At first, they were restrained and asked for a small amount of trophies, but when these robbers saw countless treasures in the Forbidden City and Yuanmingyuan, their true colors began to show. The looting for three days and nights not only burned the Yuanmingyuan, a great historical building, but also robbed many treasures, which was also the biggest disaster suffered by cultural property in modern history of our country. But even though this sad thing happened in history, some of these cultural relics have successfully returned to the embrace of the motherland with the help of people after many years. China boy inherited the British farm, but he got unexpected gains in the ordinary farm, from which he dug up hundreds of thousands of precious China cultural relics worth billions. What's the story behind these cultural relics?
1954, Zhao Tailai was born in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, and his childhood in Zhao Tailai was quite comfortable. My family is relatively rich. Although I haven't experienced a rich and expensive life, I am also a carefree life. As a child, Zhao Tailai received a lot of advanced education, and also had a heart of loving the country. But it didn't last long. At the age of fifteen, his parents died one after another, and the original happy life came to an abrupt end. He lived a lonely life alone. But at that age, Zhao Tailai still didn't have any ability to live alone, so he had to go to other places to find his relatives. After all, it is reasonable for a child to seek the warmth of his family. If he hadn't gone so far, the later story wouldn't have happened.
He got on the boat to Hong Kong alone and came to Hong Kong to find his last relative, that is, his period. Different from the family where I came from, menstrual life doesn't seem so rich, even a little poor. Maybe it's because I live alone during menstruation, so life seems a little simpler. Menstruation has never been married in my life, so I have always been alone. Lively Zhao Tailai came to the home of menstruation, which was a great stimulus to this quiet place. It seems that the life of menstruation is also lit up.
They are each other's only relatives, so they get along well and have a very good relationship. Menstruation is very fond of Zhao Tailai, and Zhao Tailai is also very filial to his only elder. In this way, the two of them spent many happy years together, and Zhao Tailai also grew up. In 198 1 year, Zhao Tailai was seriously ill with menstruation. She knew that her life was coming to an end, so she confessed something to Zhao Tailai. In their last conversation, they talked a lot, and the menstrual period, who was already struggling to talk, smiled and said, "If you hadn't come to live with me in Hong Kong, I wouldn't know how to handle my own affairs."
Zhao Tailai, who heard all this, cried herself to death. Her mother played such an important role in her growth that she couldn't accept it for a while. Menstruation also tells Zhao Tailai that Zhao Tailai, as the last descendant of the family, should inherit the assets left by the family in a distant place in England.
There are several villas, a farm and a map of Zhao Tailai. Tell him that he can inherit the villa and farm here, but if the wealth in the farm is discovered by him, I hope he can handle it properly. Menstruation also believed that his quality would guide him to make the right choice, so Menstruation passed away after he explained everything. China boy inherited the British farm, from which he dug up100000 pieces of precious China cultural relics worth billions. He handed over all these cultural relics to the state, and even sold his property to assist in transportation.
After handling the funeral of menstruation, in accordance with the wishes of menstruation, Zhao Tailai embarked on a plane to England. According to the drawings and various information left by menstruation, he successfully found the farm of menstruation. This farm has been abandoned for many years, but according to the registration information of real estate, it does belong to menstrual land and farm. In a stable on the farm, Zhao Tailai found a passage to the underground, and then he entered the underground warehouse. There are all kinds of boxes in it, large and small, and there are many utensils such as porcelain and calligraphy works in the box. He has no research experience in antique research, but he can see that these things must belong to ancient cultural relics, but he is not sure about the specific value. Because there are too many items in stock, it took several days to sort out and clean up this warehouse.
After several months, he finally collected and sorted out most of the cultural relics, but he was not sure about the source of these things, so on his way back to Hong Kong, he called on several friends in this field to clearly understand the value and source of these cultural relics here.
With the help of friends, he gradually learned about the origin of these things and his mother's ancestral home. Most of these cultural relics are from Qianlong period, and there are many porcelain and calligraphy works, and many royal musical instruments at that time, which are priceless. His great-grandfather turned out to be Wu Yanfang. These treasures should have been collected when their family lived in England, but they were not brought back in the end. They didn't reveal much information when they went to England. Fortunately, none of these things were stolen by others. No one expected that there would be so many treasures on such a farm.
Zhao Tailai, who knew all this, was very surprised at first. Secondly, he wants to keep these articles. It is unrealistic for him to keep all these things by himself, so it may be the only way to bring them back to the motherland so that they can be adequately protected. Moreover, some cultural relics must have played a very important role in the cultural research of relevant historical periods. So he spent nearly ten years and used all available resources to send these cultural relics back to our country one by one. Because these things are unique historical relics, the transportation cost is also very high. He also sold his villa in England to support it. Finally, he donated all the cultural relics worth 654.38+0 billion to museums all over the world.
Wu Yanfang collected these historical relics from all over Britain during his stay in Britain, but the domestic situation was chaotic at that time and there was no way to bring them back. In this way, this task was handed down from generation to generation in his family, and when she came to Zhao Tailai, it was the long-cherished wish of her grandparents.
