Have good intentions and be ashamed.
There are many things in the world that people can't help themselves, but no matter what choice they make, they should be worthy of their conscience and their own choices. There is a man who has countless possessions,
But just because of the entrustment of his father's last words, he has always remembered it, giving up his valuable wealth just for peace of mind.
This person was Du Yuesheng's youngest son, Du Weishan.
Son of the Owl
Du Yuesheng's life on the beach is mixed with fish and dragons, and the Republic of China period is also miserable, and there are countless heroes and heroes. Of course, when it comes to these well-known figures, Du Yuesheng is also one of them.
He eats everything in black and white, and has some strong financial resources and power
。 Even now, we can often see the appearance of Du Yuesheng in TV dramas, and he also represents the face of certain forces in Shanghai Beach.
Du Weishan is the youngest son of Du Yuesheng,
When New China was founded, he followed his father to Hong Kong. It was only after Du Yuesheng's death that he left Hong Kong with his mother, Yao Yulan, to move with him
Came to live in Taiwan.
The entire Taiwanese era was his middle school years, where he completed his secondary school studies. Later in his studies, he continued
Traveled to Australia to study geology.
A lifelong hobby
The geology that Du Weishan studied in school became the cornerstone of his later hobbies. One of his countless hobbies is collecting.
He especially enjoyed collecting ancient Chinese coins, which he collected tens of thousands of pieces.
Other antiques are also one of his hobbies, and geological specimens from all over the world and some coins are the objects of his research and play. But the most favorite is still the ancient Chinese coins, and there is still a certain amount of research on them.
After opening Du Weishan
became a Canadian national,
And moved overseas to settle. Although it has left China,
But he did not dare to forget the instructions his father gave him before his death: never step into the underworld. Never forget that you are Chinese.
It is precisely because of his father's words and deeds and infinite teachings that his children are full of ears, and later Du Weishan also did a lot of admirable practical things that can only be done with a patriotic mind.
Precious donations
In 1990,
Du Weishan went to Shanghai, the city where he lived as a child. However, years of development have long ceased to be what Shanghai Beach once was, and the rapid development has made Shanghai one of the most developed cities in China.
After visiting the Shanghai Museum, he had the idea of donating coins to the Shanghai Museum. The following year, Du Weishan came to the Shanghai Museum again. At this time, he put last year's ideas into action,
All 367 Sassanid gold and silver coins he brought with him were donated to the Shanghai Museum free of charge. Not only that, Du Weishan also intimately made a sheath on each set of ancient coins, and wrote a bilingual text description in Chinese and English for the coins.
It's really touching to be so careful.
Priceless collection
And how precious is this Sassanid gold and silver coin? This coin itself has a very long history and has many different types. Such a wide variety is also regarded as a daunting path by collectors. It was not until after the liberation of China that there was a museum in Xinjiang
Get a few extremely precious ancient coins.
In 1959, the Shanghai Museum hoped to get a Sassanid coin to highlight its status and upgrade its status, and repeatedly requested and applied to the Xinjiang Museum, but did not get it. However, many requests made the Xinjiang Museum no longer ignore it, and finally endured the pain of cutting love and gave a small and not particularly good gold coin to the Shanghai Museum. Thus
The preciousness and rarity of this Sassanid coin.
The 367 Sassanid ancient coins donated by Du Weishan can be said to be very precious.
First of all, his varieties are special, and the varieties cover many varieties. There are 100 ancient gold coins of the Sassanid Dynasty, and more than 200 silver coins of the Sassanid Dynasty.
Compared with the Xinjiang Museum, which is very difficult to get a few pieces, Du Weishan's collection is still breathtakingly rare.
And according to Du Weishan's recollection,
In the 1960s, if he wanted to buy two gold coins, he needed to sell two houses in Taiwan.
In this way, the two houses sold for more than 2.4 million yuan to be able to exchange for cash to buy ancient coins. Millions of dollars in cash could only be exchanged for two Sassanid coins, this antique
It's also worth a lot.
And if according to the value of Du Weishan's memory, if each coin is replaced according to this value,
The 367 gold and silver coins donated to the Shanghai Museum this time can be said to have a total value of no less than 300 million yuan.
Such a high number may not be able to have many people in their lifetime. But Du Weishan donated all such precious antiques to the country,
Without the slightest hesitation, just to be unashamed.
Not only donating his beloved antique gold and silver coins, Du Weishan
He also donated half two coins and other antique coins from the Qin Dynasty.
These are rare antiques on the market, and du Weishan's efforts as a private antique collector can be said to be huge.
Years of hobbies and interests, for him these should be his own treasures, but he is
Willing to endure the pain of cutting love.
In the years that followed, Du Weishan successively submitted to the Shanghai Museum
Seven times, as many as 2128 ancient coins were donated. The value of these antiques can be accumulated to 1.8 billion yuan.
Everyone was shocked by his selfless spirit and admired it. When asked why Du Weishan can donate so freely and willingly donate his heart,
He replied: "All the ancient money unearthed in China is The wealth of China. Chinese pay attention to the roots of the fallen leaves, they belong to China and should return to China. ”
Father's teachings
Such remarks are really admirable and touching. In addition to his own thoughts, behind such a move there was also some teaching from Du Weishan's father, Du Yuesheng. Before Du Yuesheng died, he often gave Du Weishan some views on his home country.
This makes Du Weishan have a strong patriotic feeling.
Not only that, Du Yuesheng's teachings and deathbed instructions for his younger son before his death were also the reasons for Du Weishan's subsequent actions.
His father's momentary advice made Du Weishan dare not forget that he was a Chinese, a dignified and proud Chinese.
I believe that the father is also like this
Teach by example
This made Du Weishan leave China for many years
And I won't forget where my roots are,
And as a Chinese what contribution should he make to the motherland?
Always remembering his father's dying instructions, he made countless acts of respect, which seemed great and awe-inspiring, but there was nothing wrong with looking back. Because remembering the father's instructions
Don't dare to forget your identity, blood and genes,
Because I have the motherland in mind, I don't put my hobbies first. The future of the motherland is the first,
The mentality of returning to the roots of the fallen leaves also makes him forget the value of antiques,
Only for Chinese antiques to return to the embrace of their motherland.
The mountains are high and the water is long, and the fallen leaves return to the roots.
Chinese antiques have returned to their hometown after hundreds of years, but Du Weishan, who settled in a foreign land, has never forgotten his hometown. Prove it with his actions
I have never forgotten my father's teachings, nor have I forgotten my feelings as a Chinese.
All this is worth learning and admiring for future generations!
