The cultural relics of the Forbidden City taken away by Chiang Kai-shek and placed in the National Palace Museum in Taipei are all rare treasures

In 1949, when Chinese New Year's Eve, on January 28, the city of Nanjing began to rain heavily, but in the place of The Shimonoseki Wharf, there were 1,700 boxes piled up, all covered with tarpaulin. Ordinary people who come and go, although they pass by here, do not know what is inside these boxes, but the people can judge that with the vigilance of the surrounding forces, they can see that the contents of the boxes must be of great value. In the afternoon of the same day, a Kuomintang warship named "Kunlun" slowly sailed toward the dock, and there was no doubt that the arrival of this warship was to remove the 1700 boxes.

At this time, the dock was still chaotic, because the workers were demanding strikes at that time, and the stalemate between the two sides was relatively long. Just when the workers began to carry, suddenly a lot of people poured in, men, women and children, all of them tried their best to rob the ship, they all knew that this ship was going to Taiwan, not to mention that the city of Nanjing at that time could not be saved, and everyone was desperate to squeeze up in order to save their lives. It is precisely because after these masses uploaded, the original more than 1700 boxes were only directly loaded in the end only 500 boxes. After this scene was formed, a senior commander immediately got on the ship with some people at that time, and directly indicated that the people on the ship should go down first, and the boxes must be transported first. After hearing the words of this commander, some people began to cry, and for a moment the scene was extremely chaotic, and some people asked: Commander Gui, what is more important than our human lives?

In the face of the questioning of the masses, Gui Yongqing had no way to use all the bedrooms and infirmarys for the other party's boxes at that time. If the boxes don't pile up at all, just pile them on the deck. After some busy work, only 972 boxes were finally moved, and the rest were sent back to the warehouse one after another. Just as Kunlun was preparing to set sail, several more non-commissioned officers shouted at the scene, these boxes are particularly important and must be transported. Because the luggage carried on the ship was particularly heavy, after some bumps, they finally arrived at the port. Although the common people did not know what was inside these boxes, they could think that since they could get the commander-in-chief of the navy to personally board the ship to transport more things, it must be of great value. Speaking of this, many people can also figure out that this must be some cultural relics of the Forbidden City. In fact, when it comes to the "moving" of cultural relics in the Forbidden City, this is not the first time it has happened.
