In the long history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, countless calligraphy treasures have been handed down. In feudal society, these calligraphy treasures were often held by landlords and gentry and the state, and this situation continued until the Qing Dynasty. In China's last feudal dynasty, the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty was the treasure house of the country, and countless rare treasures were envisioned.
After the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the Forbidden City has become a place where everyone can enter and watch, but due to the complicated situation during the war years, after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, Puyi and others were expelled from the palace, and they took away a large number of calligraphy and painting treasures when they left, which also led to the displacement of many rare treasures, which was a blow to the protection of Chinese cultural relics.
Through the unremitting efforts of China's cultural relics protectors, many rare treasures have been recovered, and many folk enthusiasts have helped. But in fact, the work of recovering cultural relics is a very expensive thing, for many folk cultural relics enthusiasts, their economic situation wants to help recover cultural relics is a very difficult thing, so many people can only investigate the loss of cultural relics, but there is no way to do their part for the country. However, in the folk, there are still cultural relics enthusiasts who are very patriotic and attach great importance to the protection of national cultural relics, and they have enough financial resources to help the cultural relics recovered, one of which is Zhang Boju.
As the youngest son of a large family in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Boju received a good education from an early age, and because Zhang Boju's family held a very important position in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Boju studied with the young prince of the Yuan family from an early age. Zhang Boju grew up and began to hold important positions due to his profound knowledge, and he also played a role in the financial industry later in his life.
Zhang Boju has loved calligraphy and painting treasures since he was a child, and has lived a very poor life for decades, because Zhang Boju has invested a lot of money in cultural relics, and there are many rare paintings and calligraphy in Zhang Boju's collection. And he regards the treasures of calligraphy and painting as his own life, in a kidnapping, the kidnappers asked for cultural relics to pay the reward, but Zhang Boju resolutely refused, which shows Zhang Boju's love for calligraphy and painting antiquities.
It is precisely because of these experiences, so the recovery of cultural relics for Zhang Boju is not a hopeless thing, in the course of Zhang Lao's decades of collecting cultural relics, he helped the country recover a lot of ancient cultural relics, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he donated a lot of calligraphy and painting treasures in his hands to the country free of charge, he once donated hundreds of millions of cultural relics for the country, which also made Zhang Boju appreciated and affirmed by the state in the fifties of the last century.
The result is such a person, who can't be admitted to a ward with good conditions due to physical illness. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to the backwardness of medical conditions, people with rich status could be admitted to a good ward. This kind of behavior of classifying people is chilling, and it is even more chilling for this old gentleman who donated hundreds of millions of yuan of calligraphy and painting treasures and cultural relics to the country free of charge. In 1982, Zhang Boju, who returned from a trip, suddenly fell ill with a cold, coupled with his age, and finally failed to escape from the hands of the god of death, at the age of 84, always remember this low-key old gentleman, learn his spirit!
