Nowadays, there are many rich people who still do not forget to serve the motherland after making a name for themselves. In fact, entrepreneurs who can always hold this patriotic feeling have always been loved by the Chinese people, even if Zhuang Shiping, Zeng Xianzi, Shaw and other entrepreneurs have passed away, but their patriotic spirit is still praised by people.
Zhao Tailai was originally a real "invisible rich man", but he was also a person with a heart for the motherland. He donated all the more than 60,000 cultural relics accumulated by his ancestors to the state without reservation, but he himself lived a very poor life.
In the face of everyone's praise and doubts, Zhao Tailai only said calmly: "That is the treasure of the country, I only collect it temporarily."
Zhao Tailai was born into a wealthy family in 1954 in a wealthy family in Guangzhou. Zhao Tailai was the great-grandson of Wu Tingfang, a diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty, and although his family was no longer engaged in politics when Zhao Tailai was born, the family conditions were still very good.
Zhao Tailai's father is a famous local doctor, and his monthly income is also very impressive. And Zhao Tailai was born in such a "famous family", he received a good education from a young age, painting and cultural knowledge is proficient.
His parents knew that Zhao Tailai liked to draw, so they invited a teacher who was very accomplished in art to teach him. However, God has brought a great disaster to this happy family. In 1969, Zhao Tailai's parents were intellectuals, and in the face of the devastation of a special period, his parents committed suicide in front of the 15-year-old Zhao Tailai because they could not bear humiliation.
Zhao Tailai, who was born prominently, lost almost everything overnight. However, Zhao Tailai never expected that his future self would become the "master" of ten thousand cultural relics.
Zhao Tailai, who lost both parents, could only go to Hong Kong to join his aunt. But in 1977, my aunt suddenly told Cho Tai Lai: "There is a batch of inheritance in Hong Kong and Europe that you continue to inherit!", and the aunt very mysteriously instructed: "You can't leak a word to the outside world!".
In 1979, Zhao Tailai received an inheritance from his aunt, and tens of millions of yuan of real estate was not the most surprising to Zhao Tailai. The two-story collection was filled, which made Zhao Tailai stunned. Moreover, these collections are all valuable treasures!
Not only that, Zhao Tailai's aunt also gave him a map and told him that there were more rare treasures in a place outside London. In 1981, her aunt died, and Zhao Tailai's aunt did not marry for the sake of these treasures of the family. Zhao Tailai went to the place his aunt told him was a large manor house on the outskirts of London.
After much trouble, Zhao Tailai saw the real family treasures. In the long-sealed cellar, there are large and small wooden boxes, including ancient calligraphy and paintings, ceramics, bronzes and countless. Zhao Tailai didn't know exactly how many treasures there were, only that this cellar was a splendid and splendid historical picture...
Zhao Tailai saw these treasures in the cellar and felt pity. It was originally a valuable treasure, but it coexisted with bugs in the cellar. Therefore, Zhao Tailai planned to send all these treasures to China, because these are the country's precious cultural relics.
Because there were too many treasures, he thought that he could be transported in ten days and half a month, but he did not expect to be transported for 10 years! During this period, in order not to leak secrets and cause trouble, he did not even tell his wife, so that people around him said that he was picking up garbage. To this end, Zhao Tailai also raised 4 fierce hounds to protect cultural relics. In order to facilitate the transportation and protection of Chinese cultural relics, he changed his nationality to Britain.
In order to protect the cultural relics, Zhao Tailai spent a lot of money and sold his 4 villas. These cultural relics, all collected by great-grandfather Wu Tingfang when he was an ambassador, have been passed down to Zhao Tailai's generation.
After transporting all the cultural relics back to China, Zhao Tailai decided to donate all of them to the state, with a total value of more than 800 million yuan. He could have used these treasures to live a prosperous life, but he did not keep all of them for the country!
