Chapter 40: The Final Chapter
"Audience friends, I am at the gate of Luoyang Museum now!"
In a warm room, the latest news was playing on the TV, and the beautiful female reporter said passionately: "After nearly two years of preparation, the Luoyang Museum has finally officially opened!" At the same time, five other museums in Beijing, Xi'an, Kaifeng, Nanjing and Hangzhou opened at the same time, showcasing up to 120,000 rare treasures from all over the country......"
"In addition to the treasures incorporated into the provincial museums, John? Mr. Huntelaar alone donated 370,000 treasures, and they are often the most precious ......"
“…… We can see that these artifacts from the West, especially those paintings, are rare and rare. www.biquge.info It is alleged that several major museums in Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Germany, the Soviet Union and the United States have protested unofficially on several occasions in the hope that Mr. Huntelaar will donate these antiques to them, or that they will exchange our precious cultural relics for these rare treasures......"
"According to the statistics of the relevant departments, the number of visitors to the six major museums has exceeded 1.1 million people today, creating an unprecedented historical record......
Listening to the sound of the TV, John's heart was at peace.
Half a month ago, one day, he could barely see anything again, and now he could only barely keep his eyes open in vain, staring at the bright light in front of the window. Even three days ago, he began to lose even the strength to speak. But as miraculously, John's mind was still clear, and his ears were still good, for example, he could hear the voice of the female reporter on the television at the moment, and he knew that there were no less than six people in his room at all times, in addition to a physician and two nurses, a Chinese and two Americans, all of whom were his former students......
"I'd love to see it myself......"
With the beautiful voice of the female reporter, John's somewhat dull thoughts flew to the six huge museums.
Since the end of the last century, John spent nearly seventy years and spent countless funds to recover countless Chinese cultural relics from Westerners and Japan, especially taking advantage of the economic crises of the two world wars, these precious cultural relics were sold to him by many people at the price of cabbage. Even the British and French governments, in order to obtain the new weapons of the Huntelaar consortium, had to hand over a large number of antiques - all of the most valuable kind, and ordinary goods did not bother to spend money at all.
And......
In addition to more than 300,000 Chinese artifacts, John also has a collection of more than 40,000 Western artifacts!
This number is of course inconspicuous if you compare it simply with numbers, but don't forget that there is a high threshold for John's collection of foreigners. For example, Van Gogh's sunflowers, John collected four pairs, and more than 70 other paintings, and was a veritable great collector. In the decade at the end of the 19th century, John bought more than 1,000 paintings by famous French, Dutch, and German painters......
In this life, John is most satisfied with this thing.
What is the creation of the Huntelaar consortium? It's just that he "invented" one step earlier than others, and "judged" the right situation one step earlier; What is the success of medicine and physics and chemistry? From beginning to end, they are just copying the things of the afterlife; Donated more than 100 billion, what about leaving a name in history? John would have liked to donate everything to China if it had been possible, but he knew it was impossible......
Only these more than 300,000 cultural relics are the proud deeds of John's life.
The huge number of cultural relics he left to China not only represent tens of billions of dollars now, and are likely to be trillions or trillions of dollars in the future, but more importantly, they have left behind China's history and countless spiritual and cultural wealth! Otherwise, since China is really rising in the future, if you want to see the good things of your ancestors, you have to go abroad, how can John accept it?
At least now, quite a few good things have been sent back, haven't they?
"It's a pity, there are still a lot of good things that haven't been brought back......"
A thought flashed through his mind, and John's eyelids became heavy, and a feeling of weakness that he had never felt before suddenly filled his body.
"Sir! Mr! ”
Just as John was about to fall into a state of confusion, he heard the terrible shouts of the nurses beside him, as well as the panicked cries of several of his own students!
"How can a doctor be so flustered? Still haven't been able to teach them well......"
A strange thought finally flashed through his mind, and John finally couldn't control his thoughts and eyelids anymore, and slowly closed his eyes......
……
November 9, 1961 at 19:44, John? Huntelaar died, ending his controversial life.
For a lot of people, John? Huntelaar is an incomprehensible person.
He is a great physician who has created a new era of surgery, created a modern drug research and development system, created a modern clinical research system, and at the same time created medical concepts such as vitamins, immunity, genes, and internal environmental homeostasis, and almost single-handedly pushed medicine forward for 20 years, and won four Nobel Prizes in medicine in his lifetime! In fact, there are countless doubts about this, because if you look only at the achievements, Mr. Huntelaar should have received at least twenty times, not just four......
He was a great physicist and chemist, who discovered X-rays, radioactivity and electrons, invented synthetic ammonia, aspirin, sulfonamides and penicillin, and won the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry three times......
He was a great educator who changed the modern medical education system in China and the United States, founded Huntelaar University, which later became the world's first 54 times in a row, created eight top Chinese universities and eighteen world-renowned medical schools, and many more, and it can be said that he alone created half of China's top higher education......
He is a great media person, the founder of the world's greatest publishing house, the greatest film company, the greatest animation company, the greatest broadcaster, until 2010, the Huntelaar series of medical textbooks are still the authoritative textbooks used by medical students around the world, and the Huntelaar Media Group also hit a peak market value of $410 billion in 2010......
He was a great financier, and although he never proposed any financial theory, he accurately judged several economic crises, especially the Great Depression of 1930, which made him completely on the altar. At the end of 2010, the combined market capitalization of Huntelaar Bank and Huntelaar Insurance Company exceeded $570 billion......
He was a great entrepreneur who created a string of great companies that made people dazzle. In 2010, among the world's top 500 companies, there were as many as 89 companies that originally belonged to or were derived from the Huntelaar consortium, including 44 in the United States, 29 in China, and 16 in Europe, with a total market value of more than 5 trillion US dollars, and this does not include those huge military equipment companies......
He was a great inventor, starting with the first tungsten light bulb in his life, and his personal and corporate inventions include bicycles, automobiles, radios, alternating current, electron tubes, transistors, color films, sound films, cartoons, synthetic ammonia, airplanes, tanks, rockets, satellites, mobile phones, etc., for better or worse, they changed the world......
He was a great statesman, which many people may not admit, but it is an indisputable fact that he accurately predicted the course of the two world wars that affected the history of the United States, Germany, and China......
He was a great philanthropist, giving more than $150 billion in cash during his lifetime, including museums, universities, libraries, schools, stadiums, and countless other buildings......
He was even a great sportsman, inventing basketball and single-handedly creating the American Collegiate Athletic League; Four football teams have also been built in England and Germany. Until 2010, these four football teams won a total of 222 domestic league titles, and the Champions Cup, which is only a few decades old, won 31 times......
For anyone, he is a legend!
But for this person, many people will never be able to understand. For example, he is an American in the accurate sense of the word, and has made unparalleled contributions to the United States, but what is strange is that he seems to give more affection to China, which has only raised him for ten years. In fact, according to later research, the Chinese was not friendly to him at that time, and most of the time it was his mother Elizabeth and some white missionaries who took care of him......
People still can't understand why a physician and philanthropist would invent and manufacture so many weapons of murder. He single-handedly spawned seven giant military companies related to aircraft, tanks, warships, and missiles in the United States, 11 huge weapons manufacturing companies in China, and even three other companies in Europe. Airplanes, tanks, atomic bombs, missiles...... His shadow is almost always hidden, and the weapons produced by his company in the two centuries claimed the lives of tens of millions of people......
All of this, many people can't understand.
Even if countless people interpret his life and thoughts, it will attract more opposition and questioning. People just know, John? Huntelaar's life influenced the world for decades and continued to do so for hundreds of years......
On November 9, 1961, John Huntelaar died.
On the second day, the heads of state of 31 countries in the world, including the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and the Soviet Union, began to leave for China, and on the third day the number increased to 61. From November 10 to November 13, a total of more than 50,000 people arrived in China from abroad, including the heads of government, the chairmen, presidents and senior executives of the companies that originally belonged to the Huntelaar consortium, representatives of Huntelaar University, 67 top universities in the United States, 61 top universities in Britain, France and Germany, representatives of medical associations and physicians from 80 countries around the world, representatives of physical and chemical societies, and representatives of the Red Cross Societies of various countries arrived in China.
On November 12, after two days of arguing between the heads of state of China and the United States, it was decided to cremate Mr. Huntelah's body, half of which would remain in China and half of which would be returned to the United States. However, at the insistence of the German Chancellor, who rushed to hear the news, it was finally decided to divide it into three parts, one of which was sent to the University of Berlin for burial......
On November 13th, John? Huntelaar's remains were cremated.
The United Nations and countries lowered flags at half-mast in mourning, power outages in major cities around the world for a minute, millions of people attended funerals, and whistles sounded from countless cars, trains and ships......
