Someone has to write 150 words with only 10 points?

Xinhuanet, Beijing, March 2 Niu Xianfeng, deputy director general of the China Special Project for Rescuing Lost Overseas Cultural Relics, said at a press conference held in Beijing on March 2 that Cai Mingchao, a special collection consultant for the China Special Project for Rescuing Lost Overseas Cultural Relics, participated in the auction of rabbit and rat heads in Paris, France, and became the final bidder.

Niu Xianfeng told reporters: Although Cai Mingchao auctioned the rabbit and rat heads of the Old Summer Palace in Paris, France with a total of 31.49 million euros, it is unknown whether the auction can be finally concluded because the payment has not yet been made and is still within the payment deadline.

Cai Mingchao said at a press conference: "I will not pay. In that situation, every Chinese would have stepped up, and I just did my part. ”

According to AFP on March 2, the mysterious Chinese who was rumored to have won the bronze statues of rat heads and rabbit heads in the Old Summer Palace said on Monday that he would not pay for the rat heads and rabbit heads he had already auctioned.

The Chinese said he had no money to pay for the two statues, the report said.

Agence France-Presse quoted Xinhua News Agency as saying on the 2nd that it was a Chinese who won the two bronze statues of animal heads in the Old Summer Palace in Paris last week.

Cai Mingchao Files:

Cai Mingchao, chairman and general manager of Xiamen Xinhe Art Auction, and consultant of the special collection of overseas cultural relics in China.

On October 7, 2006, Cai Mingchao successfully auctioned the "Ming Yongle Gilded Bronze Sakyamuni Seated Statue" in Hong Kong for 100 million yuan, setting a record for the highest auction of Chinese artworks in the world so far.

Cai Mingchao Files:

On February 25, 2009, at the Christie's auction in Paris, France, Cai Mingchao bid for the rat head and rabbit head of the Old Summer Palace for 10,000 euros. Afterwards it was said that no payment would be made.

According to the report, a Chinese society that seeks to recover looted and lost cultural relics announced on Monday that Christie's auction house auctioned the head of the rat and rabbit in the Old Summer Palace last week as a "Chinese", but did not disclose details.

Information related to the head of the beast in the Old Summer Palace: The bronze statues of the head of the rat and the head of the rabbit are the two pieces that can be determined to be still overseas in the "12 zodiac animal heads" of the Old Summer Palace. The "12 Zodiac Beast Heads" were lost during the Second Opium War launched by Britain and France, and there are currently 5 pieces that have returned:

The head of the ox, the head of the monkey, the head of the tiger, the head of the pig, the head of the horse, and the other 5 bronze statues of the head of the dragon, the head of the snake, the head of the sheep, the head of the chicken, and the head of the dog are still missing.

They are two of the 12 zodiac signs of the Old Summer Palace and Chinese history and culture.

At the moment, it is only possible to rely on money. Because there is no provision in United Nations law that the items in the Old Summer Palace should be returned!! And we should study hard to make China the world's largest country and bring it home by force. (It should be this one, I hope we learn it well).

The landlord's question is a history question.。。。 But now those two bronze heads have returned...

This is a good start on the road to the return of Chinese cultural relics.

The Old Summer Palace is a pain in China's modern history, a pain that is both worrying and long-lasting for Chinese. This time, the owner of the beast head donated them to China free of charge on the occasion of his visit to France, indicating that the return of Chinese cultural relics has made a good start.
