In the late Qing Dynasty, China was already very backward, under the pressure of the great powers, the Qing government paid indemnities to cut the land, and in that era, countless cultural relics were lost overseas, robbed, or bought, we were powerless, but with the strength of the motherland, some countries voluntarily returned some cultural relics to China.
The value of these cultural relics is very precious, even foreigners, but there is a Chinese who is not only unwilling to return the cultural relics to China, but even donated them to the United States, which is very hateful to say, he is Weng Wange, a descendant of Weng Tonggong, who was a minister during the Tongzhi period.
Moreover, serving as a military minister in the imperial court can be said to be a heavy burden, and he also has a hobby, that is, collecting those precious cultural relics, which has been retained until his death, and these cultural relics naturally remained a part of it, which was in the hands of his descendants.
Weng Wange is his fifth-generation grandson, and naturally has a lot of precious cultural relics left in his hands, Weng Wange was born in the Republic of China period, in
1938
In 2008, the year after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Onwango went to the United States to study and returned to China to work in art for a period of time.
However, not long after, he fled to the United States again to avoid war, this time, he also brought with him many cultural relics handed down from his ancestors, which were also painstakingly preserved by his ancestors, and were not destroyed in many wars, and the value of well-preserved cultural relics was naturally higher.
After our country became stronger, we began to redeem some cultural relics from abroad, but many of them did not go well, and Weng Wange also had a lot of cultural relics in his hands, and some people expressed their willingness to buy these cultural relics from his hands at a high price, after all, it was Chinese, and it was also a good thing to leave cultural relics in China, and the price could also be negotiated.
Originally thought it would be very smooth, but what I did not expect was that No matter how high the price offered by the staff, it was unwilling to sell to us, and everyone was very surprised by his attitude, originally thought that there might be problems in price or other aspects, but did not expect that the other party had no such intention.
However, there is no way, probably because the other party likes to collect, it is handed down from the ancestors, and it is inevitable that they are not willing to sell, I thought that this matter would end here, but I did not expect it to be in him
100
On his birthday, he collected it
183
The artifacts were donated to the American Museum at no cost, and his move was quite unacceptable.
The cultural relics that originally belonged to China could not be redeemed in the hands of Chinese, but the other party was willing to donate cultural relics to the United States, which was really sad.
