What do Lin Sijin's descendants think about this matter?
Lin Sijin's descendants: The provincial map has been returned to us for some cultural relics, but it does not include the "Fish and Goose Collection"
Today (September 14), Red Star News reporters interviewed Lin Deyu, the descendant of Lin Sijin, the first director of the Sichuan Provincial Library. She told Red Star News, "I know about this, I don't want to talk about it. ”
It is reported that Lin Sijin was the first director of the Sichuan Provincial Library, and the letters from the famous calligrapher Xie Wuliang, Chinese painting masters Huang Binhong, Wu Yu, Yang Shukan, Zhou Shanpei, Zhang Yuanji, Zhao Xi, and Mao Guangsheng to Lin Sijin are all collected in the Sichuan Provincial Library. These letters were compiled into six volumes, which were personally inscribed by Lin Sijin as "The Collection of Fish and Geese".
According to the WeChat public account "Jiang Shang said", "In the 1980s, Lin's descendants asked the provincial map for "Fish and Goose Collection", but no one paid attention to it", to this statement, Lin Deyu said, "Of course, I went to ask for it, they (Sichuan Provincial Library) retired some of our things." We asked what else was there and they said nothing anymore. But "Fish and Goose Collection" did not retreat. ”
Regarding the theft of "Fish and Goose Collection" in 2004, Lin Deyu said: "I don't know, I don't want to take care of this matter at present. ”
Lin Deyu, who is about to turn 88 this year, told Red Star News that she had seen this set of "Fish and Goose Collection" and had thought of retrieving "Fish and Goose Collection" through litigation, but now that she is old and in poor health, she no longer has that energy.
Provincial Map: Regarding this matter, the official notification of the library shall prevail
It is reported that the "Fish and Goose Collection" has been temporarily detained by the public security organs. When will the "Fish and Goose Collection" be returned to the Sichuan Provincial Library, and will the real culprit of the theft in 2004 be found, and what other cultural relics were stolen at that time besides the "Fish and Goose Collection"? With doubts, this morning, the Red Star News reporter went to the Sichuan Provincial Library again. The relevant staff said: Regarding this incident, please refer to the official notification of our library. At present, the police have intervened, and too much information is not convenient to disclose.
In the heated discussion of netizens, there is a question that has been repeatedly asked: "Why was the stolen items in 2004 not recovered at the public auction in 2005." ”
On the 13th, He Guanglun, director of the Sichuan Provincial Library, said in an interview with Sichuan Daily that for so many years, the provincial map has been closely tracking these cultural relics. "In 2005, when the cultural relics were first auctioned, because the Internet was not as developed as it is now, the auction information of the collection was not noticed at that time." It was not until August 29 this year, guangdong Chongzheng Auction Co., Ltd. "Southwest Famous Ru Lin Sijin and his friends and friends Shuzha | Chongzheng 2020 Spring Auction" news was released to the public, the provincial map was the first time to learn, "After comparison, it is highly similar to the literature stolen in our museum in 2004!" We immediately reported to the Department of Culture and Tourism and the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau on August 30, and immediately reported the case, took the initiative to show relevant evidence to the public security organs, and set up a special working group composed of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, the Provincial Library and other relevant departments to cooperate with the public security organs in handling the case. ”
