As we all know, China has been an ancient nation in the world for more than 5,000 years, but in the process of modern development, the mainland has been forced to sign many unequal treaties because of the aggression of foreigners, and the most sad thing after losing a large amount of land area on the mainland is that many precious cultural relics have also been robbed, and now they are still wandering overseas and have not been recovered. The loss of these cultural relics has caused great difficulties in the cultural inheritance and development of the mainland.
With the rise of the mainland nation and the improvement of international power, although some cultural relics have been returned as gifts by other countries, the return of these cultural relics is simply a dime compared with the cultural relics that have been lost, and there is no comparison at all. Nowadays, archaeologists on the mainland are still working hard for the recycling of these cultural relics, shuttling through the auction houses of various countries, in order to bring all these cultural relics back to the motherland. Overseas cultural relics recycling this is something that every Chinese dreams of, but there is such a person who does not have this idea, and also donates all 183 cultural relics in his family collection to the museum in the United States, this person is Weng Wange.
Weng Wange was born in Shanghai, China, and later when he went to school in Shanghai, the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Shanghai soon fell, in order to complete his studies Weng Wange took his family to the United States to study, and has been living in the United States ever since, when he was in the United States, Weng Wange kept introducing the long history and splendid culture of the Chinese nation to the American people, and later his film "Chinese Buddhism" also won the gold medal at the 1973 Atlanta International Film Festival. In addition to being a Chinese social activist in the United States, Weng Wange also has a very special identity, he is a descendant of the famous late Qing dynasty minister Weng Tonggong in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Weng Tonggong is a very famous figure in history, he went through the Tongzhi Emperor, the Guangxu Emperor and the Two Dynasties, and later became the prime minister, is a pivotal figure in the Qing Dynasty. Like many big officials, Weng Tonggong was very fond of antique cultural relics, and his family had a lot of precious collections.
Later, with the development of history, these collections also passed to the hands of Weng Wange, who took all these precious treasures away on the way to the United States and treasured them all the time, and later Weng Wange brought all these treasures back to the motherland after returning to China, but domestic archaeologists were very happy when they got this news, and they visited the descendants of this Qing Dynasty official to ask for a look at the cultural relics and conduct some research. Onwango is very generous about the ideas of archaeologists, and his attitude is also very good.
After seeing these cultural relics, the experts were very happy, thinking that these cultural relics could be placed in the museum as the treasures of the motherland, what a beautiful thing, what a dazzling landscape. Under this impulse, the experts Mr. Wen Wengwango would like to sell these cultural relics to the museum so that these cultural relics can truly return to the motherland, Weng Wange full of promises, but suddenly came a big turn that if you want to take these cultural relics away, you must take out 4.5 million yuan, otherwise you will never sell them. At that time, China was in a period of backward economic development, and money had long been invested in the development of the economy, where there was still money to buy cultural relics. In this dilemma, the experts had to give up buying the artifacts.
Originally, experts thought that these cultural relics were still in the hands of Chinese no matter what, as long as they were still in China, but they did not expect that it was not too long for Wengwango to dedicate all 183 cultural relics to the Museum of the United States free of charge, shocking the entire Chinese. Many people are difficult to accept the fact that these cultural relics are cultural relics spanning 13 centuries and 5 dynasties, and they are witnesses to the development of the Chinese nation. His behavior is very confusing, but it has to be admitted that these precious cultural relics no longer belong to China, and it is really infuriating that they can only be purchased at a high price if they want to bring them back to the motherland.
