Since the 1840s, when the First Opium War broke out between the Qing government and the British powers. The mainland has entered a humiliating modern history of more than 100 years, during which China has suffered aggression from other imperialists. Not only was a large amount of wealth plundered, but the treasures left by countless ancients were seized and burned, and the people of the Central Plains lived in deep trouble, and even the territory was occupied in large quantities.
However, later, with the founding of New China, the mainland embarked on the road of rejuvenation and strengthening. Through just a few decades of development, China has once again stood tall on the international stage as a world power. Among them, many treasures that the mainland once lost have been returned home one after another. There are even some people in Wuxi who spend tens of millions of dollars to buy lost national treasures from abroad and donate them to the motherland free of charge. However, in the modern era of the mainland, there is such a person who, when facing his own country, demanded 4.5 million US dollars before he was willing to hand it in, and turned around and gave the national treasure to the United States free of charge.
He is a Chinese-American named Onwango who has donated more than 180 national treasures to museums in the United States. Of course, these national treasures were not stolen, but were treasured by their family for generations, among which there was a pair called "Yangtze River Wanli Scroll", which was called a priceless treasure. After he made this move, it caused a huge sensation in the country and made many Chinese people indignant, although it is said that this Weng Wange has become a U.S. citizen, but after all, China is the land where he was born and raised, which is really chilling.
However, at that time, Weng Wange did not think so, and did not feel any discomfort at all. Maybe later into his old age, he felt that there was indeed something wrong with what he did. So he decided to give part of the family's collection of books to the motherland. But the end result was that the state bought the books from him for $4.5 million. It may be said that these things are far beyond this price, but if compared to the unpaid donations that have been made to the United States, the results are really uncomfortable.
Some netizens said that those who scolded him were morally kidnapped. Saying that these are all private property, it is irrelevant to make any decisions that no one else makes. However, Xiaobian feels that the person who said this sentence is either a Chinese, or a person who has changed his nationality a long time ago. Because they don't see that We in China are making efforts to recover these national treasures, and the voice of every Chinese people looking forward to the return of national treasures. And this Onwango, his approach is indeed obviously biased towards the United States, and his personal behavior has made our country's national treasures lost, which is also the largest loss of national treasures in modern times.
