This person is The son of Sun Dianying, and after returning the cultural relics stolen by his father to the state, he said a word
I think everyone has heard of Sun Dianying's name. He didn't leave us with any good impressions. In the early years of the Republic of China, many warlords did bad things. The social situation at that time was very chaotic. Warlords are fighting each other and insisting on their own words. Sun Dianying, as one of them, did many harmful things. He stole the tombs of Cixi and Qianlong, and he took many things. One artifact has not been found to this day. It was a very famous emerald watermelon.
The great thief of Tanglin, the thief of the ancient tomb, and the lieutenant of touching gold are all the great names of Sun Dianying, which shows that he has offended many people in the past. Sun Tianyi was a child born after his father ended his tomb robbery career, so he had to endure their humiliation when he was a child, and after his father returned to the west, Sun Tianyi also tried to make up for these mistakes.
Sun Tianyi's identity at that time should be regarded as the second generation of the rich, which may have been exchanged for his father's perennial tomb robbery, but Sun Tianyi did not think there was anything to show off. He was low-key, and he would only show up if something big happened to his house, and even his neighbors had no one to know of his presence. He's still a very smart guy. After completing his studies, he returned to China to work as a teacher.
His identity is not only that of a teacher, but also of being a conservator of antiquities. He gave some of the artifacts his father had stolen to the state. What he did was different from Sun Dianying. He had also launched a fundraising campaign before, hoping that people would come to build the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. He said the mausoleum is the root of Chinese history. If not well protected, Chinese people will only be ridiculed. With their donations, they will at least improve a lot, even if they can't make these treasures the same as before.
Sun Tianyi once said such a sentence in an interview with the media. The reporter asked him how he evaluated his father, Sun Dianying. Sun Tianyi blurted out without hesitation. He believes that his father's theft of the cemetery has caused economic losses to the government and has passed on many historical relics. When Sun Tianyi went abroad, it was precisely because he lost these treasures that he understood his mission. As the saying goes, a father's debt should be repaid by his son. These are his responsibilities. He hoped he would be able to retrieve these treasures while he was alive.
It seems that even if the father has done the work of scruples, his children are not necessarily the same as him. When we judge a person, we may look at the family background, but we cannot completely deny a person with an improper family background. We are very appreciative and supportive of Sun Tianyi's approach.
