I believe that many people have had daydreams of "finding treasures", opened the door of a treasure room, and then saw a variety of treasures, and casually took out one to sell for a lifetime. But have you ever wondered what would happen if something like this did happen to you? Zhao Tailai's approach is to donate everything!
Zhao Tailai was born in 1954, he is the descendant of a famous and prestigious family in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, and the famous diplomat Wu Tingfang in modern history is his maternal grandfather. Because when Zhao Tailai was young, his family was very good, but when he was 15 years old, Zhao Tailai's parents died one after another.
Because of the changes in the domestic situation, his parents did not leave much money for Zhao Tailai, which was not enough to maintain Zhao Tailai's life after zhao Tailai, and At this time, Zhao Tailai was still young, so Zhao Tailai went to Hong Kong to rely on himself to get his aunt. The aunt was a very strange person, zhao Tailai was originally afraid that the aunt would not accept him, but did not expect that the aunt was happy to agree.
The aunt was very kind to Zhao Tailai, just like her own biological son, probably because she herself had no heirs and had never been married in her life. Zhao Tailai's aunt not only had money, but also had good conditions in all aspects, but she had never married anyone. Zhao Tailai didn't understand anything about this, but he didn't dare to ask more.
Until Zhao Tailai was 24 years old, his aunt was ill, and it was a serious illness that could not be cured for a long time. Zhao Tailai put down all the things in his hands, accompanied by his aunt day and night, and one evening her aunt came to the end of her life, and before she died, she felt a piece of paper from under the pillow and handed it to Zhao Tailai.
The aunt told Zhao Tai that this paper is the location of a villa on the outskirts of London, and the basement of this villa has treasures inherited from the family for generations, which are extremely valuable, and the TOEFL will be kept for you in the future. Zhao Tailai understood that her aunt had not married in her life, and she did not want the family's treasure to fall by the side.
Zhao Tailai found the location of the villa based on this paper and smoothly opened the basement. Zhao Tailai was suddenly stunned by the sight in front of him, this basement was full of antique cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, thangkas, ceramics and foreign handicrafts, large and small, at least tens of thousands.
These cultural relics were purchased by the Zhao family more than 80 years ago, and now their value has doubled several times, in order to protect the family's cultural relics, Zhao Tailai has moved to London since 1992, in order not to attract attention he changed to British nationality. What he does every day is to move the cultural relics from the basement to his villa one by one.
Zhao Tailai did not dare to ask for a nanny and bodyguard, and even his wife did not dare to tell him that the place where the treasure was hidden was known only to him. Then, one by one, the major art museums in China donated these cultural relics, and over the years he donated more than 60,000 precious cultural relics to the country.
The total value of these more than 60,000 cultural relics is now at least more than 1 billion yuan, in view of Zhao Tailai's outstanding contributions, Zhao Tailai in 2005 and 2007 consecutively won the Global World Outstanding Chinese Award, as well as guangzhou honorary citizen, Yancheng honorary citizen and other titles. The treasures donated by Zhao Tailai are still displayed in major museums, showing every visitor the glory of its history.
