Chapter 1404
As long as you know history, you must know that those who organized personnel to go to sea during the civil war were definitely not serious people.

For example, the current tongue and smugglers, what kind of decent people can they be?

"Excellent, it's Hongmen, the so-called Tiandihui, have you heard of the ship-shaped ancient house teacher? Five hundred chests of treasures are in the ancient house."

Chen Wenzhe didn't hide Yezhi either, and told Professor Tao directly.

"I have a little impression, but I heard that it has been circulated for many years, but it has not been found, right?"

Professor Tao changed his mind and thought of this news.

As for things like treasures, as long as they appear, or even legends appear, they will spread widely.

What's more, there is such a large area of ​​ancient houses, and Tiandihui, Hongmen and so on are definitely household names in Dahai City, and their popularity is definitely high.

So relevant information, they know more.

"I don't know, have you heard the legend about the treasures of the Tiandihui on Nan'ao Island?"

Unexpectedly, Professor Tao actually drew inferences from one instance.

Chen Wenzhe only knew that the Zheng family used Nan'ao Island as their base back then, but they really didn't know that there were treasures here.

That's right, the Zheng family is absolutely wealthy, and it is impossible for them to use all their wealth to support the Tiandihui.

Therefore, the treasures of the Tiandihui must be a small number.

However, Chen Wenzhe is not interested in the treasures in the country, because it is impossible to fall into his hands if he finds them.

"I didn't expect you to be so high-spirited and upright. Patriotic and patriotic are very light, but few people can support them."

Looking at Chen Wenzhe, Professor Tao felt a little emotional.

"I don't dare to be that." Chen Wenzhe said with a wry smile. His selfishness is too serious. If you want to say patriotism, it is serious.

The word patriotism comes from "Warring States Policy·Western Zhou Policy".
What is patriotism, and what can you and I do for the motherland?
There has never been a lack of people with lofty ideals who have dedicated themselves to the country and made selfless dedication in the past and present. Even in the collection field, there are many such people.

For example, the family who donated the stepmother Wu Ding and the family who donated the Da Yu Ding mentioned earlier, aren’t these people patriotic in their own way?

Of course, patriotism cannot be kidnapped by morality. Even if they don't donate, as long as they keep the treasure in their own hands and don't send it abroad, there will be no problem at all.

"When it comes to bringing back hidden treasures from abroad, there is another senior in China, and he is not far behind you!"

When it comes to the large number of precious cultural relics brought back from South Vietnam, Professor Tao's nature is even higher.

At this time, Chen Wenzhe realized that he was not walking alone, but had a coincidence.

Before, there was a senior who did a feat that was comparable to him.

This patriot is Zhao Tailai, born in 1954.

He has a prominent family background, his ancestral home is Guandong, Guangdong Province, and he is an overseas Chinese living in Britain.

Wu Tingfang, a famous diplomat in modern times, is his grandfather!
He himself was a famous painter, collector, connoisseur and philanthropist.

In 1969, 15-year-old Zhao Tailai lost his parents during cultural changes.

After that, he defected to his aunt Zheng Yue'e in Xiangjiang.

In his impression since he was a child, his aunt was a rather mysterious woman.

She is outstanding in appearance, well-educated, and talented, but her aunt is independent.

In 1975, before her aunt Zheng Yuee died of illness, she called her only relative Zhao Tailai.

Tell him about the property left in the UK, and let him inherit and protect it.

And again and again: Never leak a word to the outside world!

The mysterious inheritance and serious aunt made Zhao Tailai at a loss.

In his 20s, he didn't know how heavy it was to accept such an entrustment. At this time, he was immersed in the grief of losing his only relative.

In 1979, Zhao Tailai, who was only 25 years old, began to take over the management of all the properties left by his aunt in Xiangjiang.

In 1981, Zhao Tai came to a huge manor on the outskirts of London.

This manor was purchased by the Zhao family in the early 19th century.

His aunt once gave Zhao Tailai a treasure map, telling him that the treasure is located in the suburbs of London.

Zhao Tailai found the manor on the map and found a cellar in a hidden place.

As soon as Zhao Tailai walked in, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.

There are all kinds of wooden boxes piled up in the cellar. When the boxes are opened, under the coarse cloth and cobwebs are full of ancient calligraphy and paintings, ceramics, jade, and even copper ware...

Most of these treasures were collected by Wu Tingfang, Zhao Tailai's great-grandfather.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Wu Tingfang served as an ambassador to Chou, Peru and other countries.

After the founding of the Republic of China, he was also a senior official.

The power and status have given the three generations of this family the opportunity to keep collecting and replenishing treasures.

When it was passed on to Zhao Tailai, the number had exceeded tens of thousands.

Zhao Tailai's ancestors may not have imagined that their descendants would have to work hard for 10 years in order to uncover the collection in the cellar.

It is not easy to protect the treasures left by the family on the territory of foreigners.

Zhao Tailai could only put aside his beloved painting career and moved to London in 1992.

He didn't dare to tell anyone because he was afraid of causing death.

Even his own wife, let alone ask outsiders to help.

He could only carry the treasures out of the cellar one by one like ants moving a house every day, and even his health was affected.

But Zhao Tailai persisted silently, allowing the cultural relics in his villa to increase day by day.

In order to ensure the safety of cultural relics, Zhao Tailai raised 4 fierce hounds to guard the house and protect the treasures.

Zhao Tailai devoted himself to sorting out and studying these countless treasures, while thinking about how to restore them to their former glory.

He couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, these antiques that should have received people's praise in the exhibition hall seemed to be forgotten at this moment.

How can we truly protect this cultural property?

Zhao Tailai knew: Only by returning to his motherland can he be safe, and only by delivering these cultural relics to the country can he feel at ease.

This is undoubtedly a stupid decision for secular concepts.

But for Zhao Tailai, he doesn't need to argue!
When someone asked him why he chose such an unflattering approach in the face of huge ready-made wealth, he said: "It is a national treasure, and I am just collecting it temporarily."

Zhao Tailai realized that cultural relics need to be transformed if they want to be transported long distances.

So he went outside every day, looking for various packaging materials to cover up the true identities of these treasures.

Some items are very troublesome, and you should not be careless. If you don't pay attention, they will be damaged, causing damage that is difficult to repair.

In this way, 10 years have passed, and Zhao Tailai has sorted out more than 6 treasures, and the packaging cost 96 pounds.

Zhao Tailai had to sell his assets in London in order to pay for the freight.

The purpose is to let the national treasure go home, and to stick to the cultural heritage of the Chinese people.

Since 1995, Zhao Tailai has donated as many as 5 collections to state-level units free of charge.
