Imagine if you were in extreme poverty and suddenly got a huge sum of eight hundred million, what would you do? You may have a lot of planning, but have you thought about handing over this huge amount of money without leaving everything? Probably most people will not do this, but a particularly poor peasant in Hubei has done it, he handed over his 800 million ancestral home to the state, he did not leave a single bit, his name is Li Shiyi.
(1) Unexpectedly found that his ancestral home was worth a lot
First of all, let's understand why Li Shiyi's ancestral home can be worth 800 million. It is said that At that time, Li Shiyi's house was listed as a demolition object, and when the demolition team arrived, a demolition team member who had studied Nanmu saw that the house was special, and out of caution, they invited experts to study it.
1. The log cabin is actually made of golden silk and nan wood
After expert appraisal, the uncle's house is all made of golden silk nan wood, which is also a very precious material. Since ancient times, this kind of nan wood has become a symbol of wealth, and at that time this kind of wood was more expensive than gold. Therefore, in general, this kind of wood can only be used by the royal family, and even in the case of a shortage of this kind of nan wood, the emperor ordered that this kind of nan wood can only be used by the royal family. Today's golden silk nan wood has been listed as a national second-class protected plant, and it still has a lot of value.
Why is the golden silk nan wood so precious, and is there really a gold wire in the golden silk nan wood? The answer is no, the reason why it is called golden silk nan wood is because of some kind of yellow crystals produced in the nan wood, which come together to become a thin line, so it is called "golden wire". And the grain on this kind of nan wood is very rare, and the grain produced on the golden silk nan wood is not subject to human intervention, so the special grain on its body is very sought after, and the value soars all the way.
After understanding the golden silk nanmu, let's now take a look at Li Shiyi and his ancestral home worth 800 million. Li Shiyi was born in Enshi City, Hubei Province, his family was poor, his wife died early, leaving only his son to rely on himself, and his daily life was tight, so he was also selected as a difficult household in the village. It is such a poor family that has been guarding a huge fortune without knowing it.
(2) In the face of the temptation of money, will Li Shiyi sell his ancestral home?
It is understood that this ancestral house of Li Shiyi's old man was handed down from the Ming Dynasty, which is now more than four hundred years old, and according to Li Shiyi, he has lived in this house for decades without any leakage of rain and water. And because of Enshi's remote geographical location and relatively backward economy, after so long, this house can still be preserved.
In 2015, tourism in Enshi rose, so the village also began to engage in tourist attractions, and Uncle Li's wooden house was just divided into demolition ranks. Although it is said to be an ancestral home, Uncle Li still responded to the call and actively participated in the construction. And the demolition can also compensate Uncle Li with a large amount of money, with this money can buy a new house for his son. At that time, the demolition compensation would be distributed according to the valuation of the house by the relevant personnel, and Uncle Li's ancestral house was seen as "the beginning".
1, transform into a rich man
In order to confirm this view, they invited experts, who, with their rich experience, concluded that Li Shiyi's house was built of gold silk wood, and the experts valued the house, saying that the house was worth at least 800 million yuan.
This is a fantasy for a father and son who have been poor all their lives, and they did not expect that the house they had lived in for so long would be so valuable. As the saying goes: "People are afraid of being famous pigs are afraid of being strong." After the house was identified as made of gold silk nan wood, some cultural relics collection experts contacted Mr. Li Shiyi through various channels, hoping to buy the house from him. After all, the price of this ancient house will only be higher in the future, so they all want to get this "fat meat" as soon as possible.
Faced with the high bids of these people and the temptation of money, Li Shiyi began to be confused. With this money, not only will he not have to worry about his future life, but he can even support several generations, but should he really sell this house?
(3) Encountering "high people" to point out the confusion
When Li Shiyi's old man was confused, an expert from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage came to visit Mr. Li Shiyi, and he told Mr. Li Shiyi about the cultural value of the house and its importance to the country. This house has experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, inheriting the culture and history of the Chinese nation, if it is really sold to merchants, if it is transformed, the historical significance of the ancient house will be gone.
Li Shiyi remembered his family's ancestral precepts, to guard this ancestral house well. If you hand over this ancient house to the state, then the ancestral house can get the best care and play its greatest historical significance. And when he was poor, it was the state that had been helping him, and without the state, he might not have been able to wait for this day. As a member of the motherland, he should contribute to the motherland, and it is also his obligation to inherit Chinese culture.
(4) Conclusion
Although Li Shiyi's old man gave up this huge amount of money, but the state also compensated him, the state provided a new house for the old man and also gave the old man a compensation, the uncle will often come to the ancestral house to see when there is nothing to do, watching the ancestral house play its greatest role here, the grandfather's heart is also full of pride. And the uncle's approach has also been admired by many people, because even if the uncle sells the ancestral home, it is beyond reproach, but the uncle rejected the temptation of money and contributed to the national culture, such an act can be done by few people, the spirit of the uncle is worth learning.
