Today (May 13), a Red Star News reporter learned from the official website of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage that the Sichuan public security organs cracked the backlog of cultural relics stolen from the Sichuan Provincial Library 16 years ago, and recovered the first-class cultural relics "Jin Guangming's Most Victorious King Jing JianZhi Shenpin Eighteenth" and the third-level cultural relics "Fish and Goose Collection".
The "Collection of Fish and Geese" is a collection of letters and poems exchanged with teachers and friends in the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938). In September last year, Red Star News reported that among the lots of Guangdong Chongzheng Auction Co., Ltd., Lin Sijin's letter was a cultural relic stolen from the Sichuan Provincial Library in 2004, and then the auction company withdrew the auction and the police intervened in the investigation.

Now that "Fish and Goose Collection" has been recovered, what are the thoughts of Lin Sijin, who tried to recover cultural relics through litigation? The Red Star News reporter contacted Lin Sijin's granddaughter Lin Deyu and Lin Deyu's second daughter, Ms. Lin, to learn about the situation.
Lin Deyu is about to turn 89 years old and is currently recuperating in the hospital due to health reasons. On the phone, she apologized for not being able to talk and communicate for a long time because she was unwell many times. Referring to his grandfather Lin Sijin, Lin Deyu said, "Grandfather wrote a lot of articles, I want to read. It's our family stuff, I knew it right away. Lin Deyu told Red Star News that Lin Sijin died in 1953, when she was already studying at West China University, and she basically knew the life of her grandfather.
In September last year, when a Red Star News reporter interviewed Lin Deyu, she said that she had thought of retrieving "Fish and Goose Collection" through litigation, but she was old, in poor health, and did not have the energy. For the "Fish and Goose Collection" to be recovered, Lin Deyu did not say much, only said that "there are many things that have fallen out of the house."
In the afternoon, the Red Star News reporter met With Lin Deyu's second daughter, Ms. Lin, who thought it was very good news for the recovery of "Fish and Goose Collection". However, since the cultural relics have been recovered, as a descendant of Lin Sijin, Ms. Lin also has a need, "I initially considered that this has not yet consulted the old man (Lin Deyu). "Fish and Goose Collection" fell into private hands, and it was better to protect the state. But our family hopes to be able to keep a high-definition electronic version as a souvenir, just do it. ”
Ms. Lin told the Red Star News reporter that this consideration will be discussed with her mother and family next, and she believes that whether it is the Sichuan Provincial Library or any regular unit or institution in the country, there will definitely be more scientific protection measures for cultural relics. "However, where these artifacts are preserved, at least let our families know." When we exhibit it later, we can also take a look at it. Ms. Lin said, "The previous management was definitely not as strict as it is now, and now everything is on the right track, and it is definitely more scientific and effective in management and preservation." ”
