Tang Dynasty poet Li He's "Thirteen Songs of the South Garden: Five": "Why don't boys take Wu hooks and collect the fifty states of Guanshan." Please go to ling yan pavilion for the time being, if a scholar is a ten thousand households? ”
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, China suffered unprecedented oppression. The entry of the Eight-Power Alliance into Beijing was even more painful for the sons and daughters of China, and at that time, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government and the closed-door policy of the Qing government, China lagged behind other countries, and the Qing Dynasty carried out foreign policy in a meticulous manner.
At that time, the signing of unequal treaties caused the Chinese people to lose a lot of wealth, and the national treasure-level cultural relics were also lost overseas in that era.
With the founding of New China, the country has completely stood up, but the cultural relics are still drifting outside, and at this time, some able people in the world began to transport cultural relics from abroad and hand them over to the state. Zhao Tailai was one of them, but he was only a transporter, and the cultural relics were kept by Wu Tingfang in the manor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > miserable encounter</h1>
Zhao Tailai was born in Dongguan, Guangdong in 1954, his parents are outstanding literati inkers, and he has never slackened his education of Zhao Tailai since he was a child.
Zhao Tailai, who is still a child, was forcibly arranged by his parents to learn various professional knowledge, and he will be arranged to study for 12 hours every day, except for sleeping, there is basically not much free time.
His parents were also forced, because as a descendant of the Zhao family, he still had a lot of things to do, and in order to make him grow up quickly, he could only use this kind of cramming education.
Zhao Tailai's grandfather was Wu Tingfang, a very good diplomat of the Republic of China, who actively promoted the foreign affairs movement in the late Qing Dynasty, and was one of the few talents in modern times who had drunk foreign ink. Therefore, the acceptance of new things was much higher than that of the Chinese at that time.
This brilliant diplomat travels back and forth between China and the UK every year to deal with something. Zhao Tailai is a descendant of Wu Tingfang, but his parents have never told their sons about their ancestors.
In the parents' cognition, all life should be obtained through their own hands, rather than by inheriting the family business to enhance their own value.
Boring study has made Great progress in Zhao Tailai's professional knowledge, whether in calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, cultural relics appreciation, etc., Zhao Tailai has surpassed his peers a lot.
When Zhao Tailai was 15 years old, his parents were affected by the social environment at that time and both died.
The sudden departure of his parents made Zhao Tailai, who was not yet an adult, difficult to accept for a while, and he had to think about the future direction while he was sad, because he had no money on him, and how to continue his future life was the first thing he should consider now.
On the occasion of his parents' parting, he entrusted Zhao Tailai, who was only 15 years old, to his uncle's family in Hong Kong, and after Zhao Shaoang learned the news of the death of his sister and brother-in-law, he immediately contacted Zhao Tailai and took him to Hong Kong to live together.
Zhao Tailai, who had just arrived in Hong Kong, entered a fresh world, and the beauty of that metropolis completely conquered Zhao Tailai, and his uncle Zhao Shaoang was already a well-known calligrapher in the local area, and their living environment was extremely rich, which opened Zhao Tailai's eyes.
In order to be able to exercise Zhao Tailai's character, the uncle stipulated that all the sources of Zhao Tailai's livelihood had to work hard by himself, and he could not have the concept of sitting back and enjoying his success. Only if you meet the requirements of your uncle in terms of cultural relics appreciation, calligraphy and painting, etc., can you get the uncle's financial support.
Hearing this news, Zhao Tailai was slightly disappointed, unable to understand his uncle's statement, knowing that he could choose the life he wanted, but his uncle laid out many obstacles for himself, and these obstacles also hit his young soul, and he was quite prejudiced against his uncle.
Through continuous learning, Zhao Tailai discovered his uncle's good intentions, and he hoped to exercise his professional knowledge in this way and make himself a material that could be made.
Not only did his uncle strictly demand Zhao Tailai in his studies, but also ideologically Zhao Shaoang constantly instilled patriotic feelings in him, and said that no matter what he got in the future and wherever he went, the most important thing in his heart was the country, and caring for the country was the top priority to be done.
In this almost harsh environment, Zhao Tailai's ability has also been improved, his professional level has also been recognized by his uncle, and his patriotic feelings have become more and more strong under the influence of his family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > a letter and a past story</h1>
At this time, the arrival of an anonymous letter completely disrupted the rhythm of his life.
The letter was only a few lines long, but it was full of expectations of the ancestors for future generations: summarizing Zhao Tailai's ancestral glorious past, and explaining Zhao Tailai a difficult task.
In order to protect the country's cultural relics in Britain, Wu Tingfang collected a lot of cultural relics that had been lost overseas in a manor, and these cultural relics were all hidden in the tunnels. Valued at nearly 800 million yuan, the letter repeatedly told Zhao Tailai that he would definitely bring these cultural relics back to the state.
After reading this letter, he seemed to get a big surprise, he inherited 800 million inheritances for no reason, even if he had not seen his inheritance at the moment, it was surprising to hear about it. But he also cares about the country, believing that these cultural relics lost overseas are all owned by the state, and these cultural relics should be brought back to their hometown according to the requirements of the letter.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > a round trip between China and the UK</h1>
In order to be able to transport these cultural relics back to China safely, Zhao Tailai made a careful deployment, first going to Britain as a tourist to find the manor.
After finding the manor, Zhao Tailai inspected for a long time to find the entrance, and when he entered it along the entrance of the cave, he was stunned by the sight in front of him, and the various cultural relics were neatly arranged on the shelves.
He also realized that he had a heavy responsibility, in order to be able to safely transport these cultural relics back to China, Zhao Tailai even if he took action, the first step was to become a British national, to facilitate the better transportation of cultural relics.
Transporting tens of thousands of antiques is not easy, and Zhao Tailai can only bring cultural relics back to Hong Kong from the United Kingdom one by one, and donate cultural relics to Chinese mainland through the Hong Kong platform.
Subsequently, the experienced Zhao Tailai's speed was significantly improved a lot, and in order to be able to transport all these cultural relics back to China, he sold all the British real estate as funds for the transportation of cultural relics.
When all the more than 8,000 cultural relics arrived in the motherland, Zhao Tailai also perfectly completed the task entrusted to him by his ancestors, donating all the cultural relics to the motherland, and the Chinese people gave high praise.
Since 1991, Zhao Tailai has continuously used his own resources to transport cultural relics from overseas to donate to the motherland, and now he has donated more than 50,000 cultural relics to the motherland.
His patriotic feelings are deeply engraved in his heart, and he is unmoved by the 800 million inheritance and resolutely implements the last precepts. In order for these cultural relics to return to the embrace of the motherland, Zhao Tailai spent more than ten years to complete his mission.
