Colorful Spirit Eyes

When it comes to persistence and obsession with old objects, Hu Guohua is much deeper than Eucommia ulmoides. Despite Hu Guohua's usual carelessness, his level of dating and appreciation of old objects is no worse than those of archaeological practitioners with a professional background. Even in some professional fields such as calligraphy, painting, and miscellaneous items, it is not an exaggeration to call him a master.

With the exact information about Eucommia ulmoides, Hu Guohua could not leave the Eucommia ulmoides manor. Fortunately, he was not kept waiting long. In the afternoon of the same day, the British faxed the detailed list to Hong Guoquan.

There are more than 2.3 oriental cultural relics in the British Museum, ranging from stone tools from the Neolithic Age, painted pottery from the Yangshao Culture, bronzes from the Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, lacquerware and jades from the Han Dynasty, to Tang Sancai, Song Dynasty Jun kiln porcelain, Yuan Dynasty blue and white, Ming Dynasty pinch Silk enamel... covers almost all categories of cultural relics, spanning the entire history of the East.

When Hong Guoquan took the detailed list and selected it for Eucommia ulmoides. Hu Guohua couldn't wait to snatch it away. His hands were shaking with excitement as he looked at it...

Three Bodhisattva murals, green glazed pottery watchtower, "Nv Shi's Proverbs", bronze double sheep statue, bronze owl-shaped 卣, sandstone standing statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva from the Northern Qi Dynasty, three-color Arhat statue from the Jin Dynasty, bronze Zhenwu statue from the Ming Dynasty, three statues from the Jin Dynasty Colorful Arhat statue, Ru kiln celadon lamp holder from Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan blue and white plum vase with cloud and dragon pattern, Ming and Wanli blue and white badges and Clark porcelain bowl with inscription pattern, "Picture of Guiding Bodhisattva"··········

Every time he read out the name of a treasure, Hu Guohua's voice was full of yearning and excitement. It was as if the treasures he was thinking of had already appeared in front of him.

Eucommia can completely understand Hu Guohua's excitement. Although Eucommia has not read the contents of the list, just hearing Hu Guohua read out the names one by one vividly makes Eucommia extremely happy.

While Eucommia was listening with great interest, Hu Guohua's voice stopped. The confused Eucommia ulmoides turned around to look, and was startled to find that Hu Guohua was wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. Du Zhong smiled, walked up to Hu Guohua, patted his shoulder, and said comfortingly: Second brother, why are you crying? It won't take long for these babies to return home.

Hu Guohua raised his head and waved the directory in his hand towards Eucommia ulmoides. He sniffed and choked up: "More than 20,000 pieces... more than 20,000 pieces of treasure, we can only bring back 80%. It's all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't even dare to think about this day."

Du Zhong smiled bitterly, pulled out a tissue and handed it to Hu Guohua. Hu Guohua took it and continued: Yesterday, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep a wink all night. I tossed and turned and thought about what it would be like to have so many treasures return to China. I was afraid that something would happen in the middle of the matter, so I came here early in the morning. Fortunately, I finally felt reassured.

But then, Hu Guohua sighed again, like a child who had lost his favorite toy, feeling aggrieved and helpless, and said: Brother, do you know? According to statistics from the my country Cultural Relics Society, since the Opium War in 1840, more than 1000 million oriental cultural relics have been lost to Europe, America, Japan and Southeast Asian countries and regions. Among them, more than 100 million national first- and second-level cultural relics have been lost overseas.

Having said this, Hu Guohua raised his head, his eyes were red, he stretched out a finger and gritted his teeth and said: More than 10 million pieces, more than 10 million... What a huge loss this is. I like old objects, and it makes me happy to see those cultures that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. I have also been to foreign auctions many times. Every time I go, I take a photo, and every time I take a photo, I feel sad.

Those hateful foreign devils, seeing that we care about the things left by our ancestors, raise the prices again and again, and use the things they snatched from us to make a lot of our own people's hard-earned money. What a feeling... ··It doesn’t feel good.

There are so many treasures, I don’t know how long it will take to return to China, hey... Brother, second brother, I have to thank you... After saying that, Hu Guohua stood up solemnly for the first time and held his hand. Eucommia ulmoides hand. The two brothers have known each other for such a long time, and even though Du Zhongbai gave Hu Guohua so many benefits, the latter never said anything like this, which shows how excited Hu Guohua is today.

As the saying goes, a man won't shed tears easily, but he hasn't reached the sad point yet. A true man should be proud of the glory of his nation, and should take the national humiliation as his own shame. Du Zhong patted Hu Guohua's shoulder heavily and said with a smile: Second brother, don't worry, there is plenty of time. Let's search slowly and think of ways. One day, we will get back what we have lost. If we have money, we will buy it; if we don’t have money, we will rob it... This is what Eucommia Eucommiae really thinks. He really has this idea.

Through this negotiation of exchange conditions, Eucommia saw it. The major foreign museums that have oriental artworks are on the surface, and these ideas are not something that cannot be discussed as long as the benefits are sufficient. The difficulty is that the treasures in the treasure rooms of those big chaebols and big collectors are all in the dark.

For Eucommia ulmoides, it is easier to find treasures in the sea than to find them. For those big chaebols and big collectors, money is just a number, and their own energy has reached a certain level, so they are generally not moved by any benefits.

What to do if you want to get items from your own country in their hands? The only option is to rob them. Eucommia ulmoides doesn't care about anything else now. His idea is very simple. You can rob us, why can't we rob you? As long as I had the chance, I would snatch it away... Of course, he couldn't tell anyone these thoughts.

Hu Guohua nodded heavily. After crying, Hu Guohua took a deep breath, grinned and said: Come on, brother, tell me, when will we leave? I can't wait to touch those treasures with my own hands.

Du Zhong helplessly spread his hands and said with a wry smile: You have to let me look at the directory, select the corresponding amount, and send it back to others before making a decision. I haven't seen anything yet, how can I make a decision?

Hu Guohua slapped his forehead and quickly handed the directory in his hand to Eucommia ulmoides. With Hu Guohua, an expert treasure appraiser, the two brothers stayed in the room for a long time, picking and choosing. It took until about two o'clock in the morning to finalize the preliminary cultural relics returned to China. In the end, the two brothers couldn't bear it anymore. They didn't even bother to wash up and just fell asleep. After getting up the next day, he quickly sent the selected objects back to China to Professor Fu and other expert team members for the second round of selection.

When Du Zhong and others arrived in London, it was already a week later. A group of people stood on Russell Square north of New Oxford Street in London, England, looking at the magnificent building of the Great Ming Ming Museum in front of them, and their hearts were filled with different tastes!

Professor Fu pushed up his glasses and sighed with a smile on his face: I never expected that such a day would come.

Several professors behind him nodded repeatedly, and one of them, a fat old professor, answered: Yes, if I can witness this grand event in my lifetime, I will die without regrets.

Du Zhong turned his head and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "No, Professor Wang, you have to live well and see more treasures come home with your own eyes."

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Professor Wang nodded repeatedly and said: Okay, I'll wait...

Everyone walked towards the British Museum talking and laughing. There was already a group of British people waiting at the door. The consul in the UK quickly stepped forward to negotiate with the relevant personnel.

The person in charge of the transfer of physical objects from the British side is called Masta Robin, who is now the deputy director of the British Museum. Although he is a deputy, he is responsible for most of the affairs of the museum.

Masta Robin shook hands with Du Zhong and others one by one, and led everyone into the museum. First, we conducted a tour inside the museum. I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional. When they moved to Hall No. 33, Masta Robin sighed to everyone: So much Eastern art is about to be removed, and Hall 33 is mostly empty...

The Eastern expert group responsible for this handover walked into Exhibition Hall 33 one after another. Everyone was very excited when they saw the dazzling array of exquisite products. Professor Fu asked in confusion: Are these... not in the directory? I remember, this bird-painted double-eared statue... I personally selected it, why is it still displayed here?

His words aroused everyone's doubts. Professor Wang also pointed to one of them and said: Yes, this ancient Panlong jasper from the Liao Dynasty was also chosen by me.

Eucommia frowned and looked at Masta Robin in confusion. Masta Robin waved his hand and explained with a smile: Oh, friends from the East, don’t panic, these objects have not signed the documents yet, so for now they are still works of art in the British Museum. We will see you later. After both parties sign the docking documents, at that time, the artworks you selected will naturally be replaced. You know, a replacement will take three months. This batch of oriental artworks has not passed our regulations. period, so it was not withdrawn.

After everyone listened to Masta Robin's explanation, they nodded in understanding. However, Eucommia ulmoides and Hu Guohua looked at each other with dissatisfaction in their eyes. Because Professor Fu and others are scholars, their minds are relatively simple. Eucommia and Eucommia were much more sensitive to these little tricks, and this was obviously intended to give everyone a soft nail.

Eucommia ulmoides secretly gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart: Grandma, let's wait and see...

Fortunately, Masta Robin did not do any other excessive actions and cooperated very well with the expert team to begin a preliminary inventory and confirmation of the handed over cultural relics.

This made Hu Guohua extremely beautiful. When the door of the Oriental Art Storage was opened, he was the first person to rush in with white gloves. His anxious look made Eucommia just want to laugh.

Professor Fu and others all had expressions of surprise on their faces. Looking at the tens of thousands of priceless treasures, everyone seemed to feel much more relaxed even when they walked.

Yuan blue and white... This is Yuan blue and white... Liao and Jin periods... Han dynasty... The treasure of the Han dynasty... ·Pictures of Ladies... Everyone was almost crazy, looking at the treasures they longed for one after another. While they were overjoyed, they also did not forget their responsibilities, and quickly took notes while admiring the work.
