In the main hall of the Taimiao, the press conference has begun, and the voice of the host of the donation ceremony once again came from the rostrum and reached the ears of everyone at the scene.

"Dear journalists, it's time to ask questions, and everyone is welcome to ask questions."

Before the words fell, many media reporters in the audience had raised their arms one after another, scrambling one by one.

The host of the donation ceremony glanced at the scene, then raised his hand and pointed at a domestic reporter whose coat was printed with the word "CCTV", apparently enjoying the benefits of the landlord.

Immediately afterwards, the reporter from CCTV stood up, reached out to take the microphone handed by the staff, and immediately began to ask questions.

"Hello, Mr. Ye Tian, I am a reporter from CCTV, and it is very admirable that you can donate 5,000 volumes of the priceless Dunhuang Canon for research at one time.

As a Chinese, on behalf of myself, I would like to thank you for your generosity, and I believe that many Chinese are like me and are grateful for your generous donation!"

As he spoke, the CCTV reporter bowed slightly to Ye Tian.

Not only him, but all the other Chinese at the scene nodded lightly and applauded again, obviously everyone felt the same way!

Ye Tian, who was sitting on the rostrum, nodded at the CCTV reporter with a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything.

After the applause subsided slightly, the CCTV reporter got to the point.

"Mr. Ye Tian, according to incomplete statistics, you have traded more than 20,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Canon in Paris, France and London, England, and you are the largest collector of the Dunhuang Canon in today's world.

In other words, in addition to the 5,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Scriptures donated to the National Library today, you still have at least 15,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Classics in your hands.

Will you continue to donate? Or will you put those precious ancient books on public display? especially those Dunhuang scriptures that were exchanged from the National Library of France and plundered by the Frenchman Birch more than 100 years ago.

Because he was proficient in Chinese and Chinese history, the Dunhuang Canon that was plundered by Bo Xihe was the most valuable and the most essential, and Bo Xihe once boasted that he 'took all the most valuable volumes in the Dunhuang Canon'.

For example, almost all the picture scrolls and scriptures about the Chinese Taoist classics were swept away by Bo Xihe, such as the Analects of Huang Kan, which contains the main points of the Analects spoken by everyone between the Han and Wei and Jin dynasties.

There are many more such scriptures and picture scrolls, each of which is extremely precious, here, I would like to ask, what do you plan to do with this batch of Dunhuang scriptures that have been stolen by Bo Xihe?"

After asking the question, the CCTV reporter did not sit down, but stood in front of his seat, looking at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.

Everyone else was the same, everyone's eyes were on Ye Tian, even the Director of the National Library of China, Rao and the others, who were sitting next to him, their eyes were full of expectation.

Ye Tian looked at the CCTV reporter, and then said aloud with a smile:

"This journalist friend raised a lot of questions, I will answer them one by one, first of all, I must be sure that you are right, half an hour ago, I was indeed the person who had the most Dunhuang scriptures in the world.

However, with the signing of the donation agreement just now, I am in second place, and the National Library of China now has the largest collection of Dunhuang scriptures, which has a total of more than 21,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures.

As a matter of fact, this donation of 5,000 volumes of the Dunhuang Canon is just the beginning, and I will continue to donate some of them in the future.

As for the objects of donation, it can be the National Library, the Dunhuang Academy, the National Museum and the Forbidden City, and I hope that these Dunhuang scriptures can promote the study of Dunhuang studies and shine the brightest light."

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a warm applause at the scene again, which resounded throughout the entire Taimiao Hall.

Everyone was applauding and gave Ye Tian their own applause.

Especially the few people sitting next to them, as well as those high-level experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, top antique art appraisal experts and many cultural and museum personnel, all of them are applauding desperately, and the slaps are almost broken.

Ye Tian smiled softly, then stretched out his hands and pressed down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.

After the applause subsided, he continued:

"As you may have known, I am going to build my own private museum in Beijing, and in this private museum, there will be a Department of Ancient Books and Rare Books.

At that time, all the Dunhuang scriptures in my hands will be stored in this department, including the Dunhuang scriptures that were plundered by Bo Xihe more than 100 years ago and brought back to China by me.

Except for some of the most representative scrolls and scriptures that will be on display, most of the rest of the Dunhuang scriptures will be housed in a state-of-the-art, safest and constant temperature and humidity vault.

All the Dunhuang scriptures in my collection will be open to all experts and scholars who study Dunhuang studies and Chinese culture and history, and as long as they apply and get approval, they will be able to see those Dunhuang scriptures.

Due to their age, the Dunhuang canons are already very fragile, and in order to better protect them, and to pass on the culture and history recorded in them, I plan to digitize them.

After digitization, relevant experts and scholars do not have to carefully flip through those ancient books, and in the museum's digital reading center, they can see all the contents recorded in the Dunhuang scriptures.

In this way, those Dunhuang scriptures, which are already fragile, can be better protected, stay in this world for a longer time, and continue to shine with the dazzling light of civilization for a long time."

When the words fell, Ye Tianchong nodded lightly at the CCTV reporter, and the reporter bowed slightly to him, and then sat down satisfied.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause rang out again, and it seemed to be even more enthusiastic than before.

Before the applause fell, many media reporters in the audience had raised their arms again, vying for the next opportunity to ask questions.

This time, the host of the donation ceremony pointed to a foreigner reporter and gave the foreigner the opportunity to ask questions.

Of course, this was at the behest of Ye Tian, and he had made arrangements long before the donation ceremony began.

The foreigner reporter stood up, and the staff randomly handed over the microphone.

Immediately afterward, the foreigner reporter began to ask questions, in English.

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I'm the Washington Post's correspondent in Beijing, Dennis, and I would like to ask you, why did you choose to donate this batch of Dunhuang scriptures to the National Library of China?

Your Intrepid Discovery Company is based in Manhattan, New York, and your wife, Betty, is an American citizen herself, so why don't you choose the National Library or the Metropolitan Museum of Art to donate?

Another point, you are a businessman, in the relevant rumors, you are very persistent in the pursuit of money and wealth, no one wants to take advantage of you, why did you choose to donate for free this time?

Just now, you have repeatedly mentioned that this huge number of Dunhuang scriptures can be called priceless treasures, and each one is worth a lot of money, but you donated them free of charge, can you tell us the reason for this?"

After finishing speaking, the foreign reporter from the Washington Post sat down, but his eyes were always fixed on Ye Tian, waiting for his answer.

Obviously, this is a bastard with bad intentions and bad intentions.

Hearing this question, a sharp light immediately flashed in the depths of Ye Tian's eyes, but it was fleeting, and no one noticed.

David, who was sitting next to him, took a few deep looks at the white reporter and secretly noted the bastard's face.

After simultaneous interpretation at the scene, all the Chinese in the main hall of the Taimiao Temple understood the American reporter's question, and also heard the malice in the words!

The Minister of Culture, Director Rao of the National Library, and others, who were also on the rostrum, couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and a little worry flashed in their eyes.

Without exception, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian to see how he answered these malicious questions.

Ye Tian looked at the American reporter, and then said loudly with a smile:

"Good morning, Mr. Dennis, welcome to this donation ceremony and press conference, and very welcome to work in Beijing, it is a pleasure to meet you here.

That's right, my Intrepid Explorer in Manhattan, New York, and my wife, Betty, is a native of America, and I became an American citizen because I stayed in New York to work.

However, I was born and raised in Beijing, and it was not until high school that I went to the United States because I went to school, and I am a Chinese, and this can never change!"

Hearing this, the eyes of all Chinese at the scene couldn't help but flash a light of appreciation, but the worry in everyone's eyes was also deeper.

Is it really appropriate to do this in such a public place and in the face of such an obviously ill-intentioned American journalist? Shouldn't it be tactful?

The American reporter sitting in the audience couldn't help but flash excitement on his face the moment he heard Ye Tian's words.

No need to ask, this guy's stomach is starting to run bad again!
