Cultural relics and collections have a long and wonderful history in China. With the improvement of living conditions, interest in artifacts and collections has increased. Cultural collectors such as Ma Weidu and Wang Gang are famous for their treasures. Among them, there is a story about collector Zhu Yun and treasure expert Liu Yan, which is ironic.
The story began in 2009, when a treasure show became a hit on television. With suspense and anticipation, Zhu Yun participated in the show with his brother and a painting called "Songyang Han Botu". They believe that if the show's experts can identify the painting as authentic, its market value will rise significantly.
However, when Liu Yan appeared as an expert in identification, his conclusions disappointed the Zhu Yun brothers. Liu Yan unceremoniously announced that their painting was just a fake. The brothers had expected to receive honor and sell their paintings at a high price, but they ended up with such a blow.
However, what is strange is that Liu Yan suddenly contacted Zhu Yun and claimed that someone was willing to buy this fake for 170,000 yuan. Zhu Yun and his brother were surprised and grateful, thinking that Liu Yan was their savior.
Soon after, Zhu Yun learned on TV that their paintings were sold for more than 87 million yuan. They suspected that Liu Yan might have deceived them and took him to court. However, the court ultimately did not file a case because the case involved huge amounts of money and the fact that there was another treasure connoisseur with the same name and surname as Liu Yan.
Although Liu Yan has not been punished by law, his reputation has been greatly damaged. The good name he once enjoyed is lost in the industry. This story also teaches us that the identification of artifacts requires caution, and that people should be wary of the integrity of others.
