"I'm a billionaire, I've shown up!" Shen Teng's role in the movie of this windfall plot has aroused the envy and yearning of many people. The idea of the work is often based on life, and this film is no exception. In real life, wang Duoyu's prototype is Zhao Tailai, a collector of cultural relics and art, and the world's outstanding Chinese.
From an early age, he was born in Shuxiang Mendi
Zhao Tailai was born in 1954 and is a native of Dongguan, Guangdong. Zhao Tailai's ancestors were famous families, and his uncle Zhao Yuxiu was the "Justice of the Peace" in Hong Kong during the Republic of China, because he lived in the Yuen Long district of Hong Kong, and was called "Yuen Long Rich". Zhao Tailai's grandfather and father both practiced medicine in Hong Kong, and their reputation is well known in Hong Kong.
After the founding of New China, Zhao Tailai's father returned to the mainland with his family. In his hometown of Dongguan, Zhao Tailai's father joined Humen Town Hospital and became a general doctor. Zhao Tailai's family lives a low-key life, and due to the incognition, Zhao Tailai's family lives in poverty. But for the education of young Zhao Tailai, his parents never relaxed.
From a young age, Zhao Tailai was asked by his parents to learn to read, write, write, and sing, and began to read classics and historical texts when he grew a little older, and later he never fell behind. Fortunately, the young Zhao Tailai was a diligent and studious child who could accept such a huge amount of knowledge.
For his parents' arrangement, Zhao Tailai had doubted and questioned, but his parents had never explained it to Zhao Tailai, and he did not mention anything about the glory of his family's ancestors. Therefore, Zhao Tailai, who grew up in Guangdong, has always thought that his family is just a grassroots background, and he has no idea about the huge inheritance he can inherit. Under the education spared no effort of his parents, Zhao Tailai had already achieved a small success in the art hall at a young age.
Reading and learning has always been a very expensive thing, not to mention that Zhao Tailai's learning projects are still so numerous, although Zhao Tailai's family's efforts to hide their names, they still show their feet after all. During those turbulent years, Zhao Tailai's parents were frequently pulled to criticize the fight as reactionaries and died of illness.
Zhao Tailai, who was only fifteen years old, had both his parents dead and lived a precarious life, so he arranged a retreat for Zhao Tailai before his father died. In 1969, Zhao Tailai, who was dazed and dazed, took the letter of proof and embarked on the ferry to Xiangjiang alone to join his aunt.
Worship the art of everyone, a huge source of heritage
With a nervous mood, Zhao Tailai successfully met his aunt. The memory of his youth had long been blurred, and Zhao Tailai knew nothing about this aunt who only existed in the conversation between his parents. All I know is that she is her mother's sister and has never been married in her life. For some special reasons, my aunt stayed in Xiangjiang and did not return to the mainland with her parents. Now it has become Zhao Tailai's only life-saving straw.
What Zhao Tailai did not expect was that his aunt accepted his little nephew very kindly. As the two slowly get along, Zhao Tailai finds that his aunt has a cheerful and kind personality, extremely rich and rich in assets. With the help of his aunt, Zhao Tailai gained a foothold in Xiangjiang, not only living a worry-free life, but also studying was arranged by his aunt. Zhao Tailai changed greatly from being lonely and lonely to being clothed and jade, and he was able to worship under the famous painter Zhao Shaoang and become his disciple.
The aunt, who had been lonely all her life, regarded Zhao Tailai as her own child, which made Zhao Tailai feel the warmth of home. As Zhao Tailai entered adulthood, her aunt's body had become thinner and thinner, getting worse and worse every day. In 1977, her aunt took advantage of the fact that her body was still relatively tough, and hastily explained her posthumous affairs. Among them, the aunt highlighted her own inheritance, saying that it was inherited by Zhao Tailai, but it could not be leaked word by word.
In 1979, after two years of suffering from illness and death of his aunt, Zhao Tailai endured the grief and handled his aunt's funeral. After everything, Zhao Tailai began to investigate the tens of millions of inheritances left by his aunt. When he arrived at a remote property, he couldn't help but be stunned: the entire two-story building was filled with a variety of dusty cultural relics, and the room was full of historical atmosphere, and the value was immeasurable!
Where did so many antiques come from? It turned out that these collections came from the late Qing dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the famous jurist Wu Tingfang, and Wu Tingfang was Zhao Tailai's great-grandfather. Wu Tingfang was the ambassador to the United States and Peru at that time, and after the founding of the Republic of China, he served as the chief foreign minister and acting prime minister, stirring up a temporary storm. These collections have been collected by the Wu family for three generations, and when they reached Zhao Tailai's hands, they had already exceeded 10,000 pieces!
Living as a "beggar" after inheriting the inheritance
Before her death, her aunt gave Zhao Tailai a treasure map and confessed it to Zhao Tailai: "In London, England, there have been more cultural relics and antiques, historical treasures, and the treasures here in Xiangjiang are not enough to hide in London for two-tenths of the treasures!" At that time, Xiangjiang had not yet returned, so after the death of his aunt, Zhao Tailai, as the only heir, received a notice from England to accept the inheritance.
Zhao Tailai took the treasure map and sailed across the ocean, finding the villa left by the Zhao family in the 80s on the outskirts of London. Through a heavy weed and vine taller than a person, following the guidance of the treasure map, Zhao Tailai finally found the hidden entrance. The cellar has long been dusty, and Zhao Tailai was able to witness this magnificent scene: the wooden boxes in the huge cellar are innumerable, through the decaying wooden covers, the golden jade ceramics refract a brilliant light, and the calligraphy and painting bronzes render layers of thick sediments...
Zhao Tailai was deeply addicted to it, and he was not willing to let the treasures of these cultures sink, so he decided to send all these cultural relics back to the motherland!
Who knew that the seemingly dilapidated villa had such a large number of rare treasures? Zhao Tailai knows that once exposed, not only will his own life be difficult to protect, but these cultural relics will remain in this foreign country forever. In order to keep these cultural relics, Zhao Tailai did not even tell his wife about this. In order to keep it secret, Zhao Tailai did not hire any servants at home, and Zhao Tailai did not hire security guards, but raised four big wolf dogs to come to the nursing home.
Among these treasures, there are a variety of jade objects, valuable calligraphy and paintings, and simple and heavy bronzes... Zhao Tailai knows that this is not only the inheritance of the family from generation to generation, but also the persistence of his aunt's lonely life. Zhao Tailai decided to explore these treasures while studying them, so that they could shine again.
As a result, Zhao Tailai's life became extremely monotonous, except for three meals a day, he hid in the old house to work and study. In order to find suitable packaging materials, Zhao Tailai often went to the waste disposal station of the furniture factory. Whenever I find a suitable packaging material, I can't help but smile and drag it home. Therefore, Zhao Tailai is often jokingly called "beggar" by friends. The family also did not understand Zhao Tailai's behavior, and Zhao Tailai was busy with his own research, but never responded.
Zhao Tailai's patriotism
For these valuable cultural treasures, Zhao Tailai gave up his favorite painting career and devoted himself wholeheartedly to archaeology and research. For convenience, Zhao Tailai became an English citizen in 1992. In order to pay for the high freight cost of these cultural relics from England across the ocean, Zhao Tailai did not hesitate to sell four properties in London.
In ten years, Zhao Tailai has cleaned and excavated more than 60,000 pieces of cultural relics and antiques, and the total value can be bought in England. Just when all relatives and friends hoped to become millionaires through these antiques, Zhao Tailai donated all of them to the country despite opposition, which amazed the Chinese people in the world.
In 2005, Zhao Tailai won the "World Outstanding Chinese Award". Some people say that Zhao Tailai is stupid, saying that he will not enjoy happiness, and Zhao Tailai is speechless. Some people scolded Zhao Tailai as a liar, in addition to the limited genuine goods donated to the state, the collection he opened was full of fakes, and Zhao Tailai disdained to respond. As for why he made such a decision, Zhao Tai said: "That is a national treasure, I am only temporarily collecting." ”
As the saying goes: "The sages do not care about their hearts." Of course, Zhao Tailai is not a saint, but no matter what kind of calculations he has in his heart and what kind of struggles he has had, what he has made is indeed a choice that is beneficial to the country and the nation, which is worthy of praise.
Even if Zhao Tailai is a British citizen, he still has a Chinese heart!
