readx;?“ Tony, I heard that you recently applied to donate a batch of artifacts to the Palace Museum? Chen Guang, director of COFCO's sugar and liquor miscellaneous products department, said to Tang Ning absentmindedly while drinking tea in Tangning's office in Beijing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Ning nodded and replied, "Yes, that's the case." Then he wondered, "Eh, how do you know about this?" Can you manage cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea? The cultural relics Chen Guang mentioned are actually Downing's treasures over the years, among which Lang Shining's "Bust of Chunhui Guifei" and enamel snuff bottles were all auctioned by Tangning at an auction in the United States when he was pursuing Hepburn, and a large part of them were bought at low prices from soldiers and bankrupt officials when Downing first arrived in Japan, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese people could not eat enough.

"Of course I can't handle it, but it's a bit embarrassing for you to do this, so someone asked me to come over and discuss it with you." Chen Guang said with an embarrassed face.

Chen Guang hurriedly persuaded: "Tony, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, my expression is wrong, your free donation must be welcomed by everyone, but your identity is a bit embarrassing, after all, you are an American." ”

"What's wrong with the Americans? Americans can't donate? Tang Ning retorted unhappily.

Chen Guang patiently explained: "Isn't this just the end of the cultural activity, everyone's ideology has not changed for a while, as soon as I hear that foreigners, especially Americans, actually give things away for free, I always feel that there may be something wrong inside, although the government will not think so, but the people will inevitably think so." After all, do you want to give everyone a time to get used to it? ”

In fact, Tang Ning also understood Chen Guang and the concerns of the Chinese government, in fact, if according to Tang Ning's intentions, he would have long wanted to donate these treasures back, after all, the place that can really maintain and show their value is the Palace Museum, and this can be regarded as the return of the goods to their original owners. It's just that the political environment in the past few years did not allow him to do this, and during the "cultural activities", he dared to donate things to the country for free if he was an American. There are definitely a group of people who suspect that he has ulterior motives, so Tang Ning naturally can't do this kind of turtle thing, and now that China's concept has changed, and it has also been reformed and opened up, it is natural that he can donate, and he can also leave a good impression on the Chinese government and facilitate his own development in China. Therefore, Tang Ning just complained just now.

So Tang Ning pretended to be persuaded by Chen Guang: "Okay, even if what you say makes sense, then you can say it." How exactly should this be done? Do these treasures donate or not? ”

"Of course you have to donate, these are all Chinese treasures, there were no conditions and no opportunities before, but now that they have the opportunity, they must all return to China." It's just a small change in form. ”

"Oh, how do you change that?"

"It's best for your wife, Ms. Han Xuewei, to be the main body of the donation, so that there will be no problem at all in donating as a Chinese in Japan."

"It's as simple as that?"

"Yes, it's that simple." Although Chen Guang said this easily. But in fact, the process of adopting this resolution is by no means so simple. After receiving Downing's application to donate cultural relics, there was a heated debate within the government because of the matter.

Some people felt that they would not accept the donation. Chinese people must be self-reliant and self-reliant, so how can they accept donations from foreigners, especially US imperialism, and forget the ancient admonitions of "not eating what comes from the food" and "the poor cannot be moved"? Moreover, the Americans' donations must have ulterior motives, and perhaps there is some conspiracy in this, and we must be strictly vigilant against them, and we must not give enemy elements an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Others said that since the reform and opening up has now begun. Then we must have the spirit of embracing all things, and the ideological concept can no longer be as narrow and limited as before, and this Tony Downing is not an ordinary American, he belongs to the American businessman who has a good impression of China.

He not only protected Mr. Mei Lanfang in Japan, but also was personally praised by Chief Planner Deng. It is also the first batch of foreign businessmen to invest in China, who have made contributions to the development of the country, so this kind of person belongs to the part that can be fought for, if he refuses his donation this time, it will not only chill his heart, but also will have a great adverse impact on other foreign businessmen who want to invest in China, thus affecting the overall situation of reform and opening up and attracting foreign investment.

Another point is that no matter what, these cultural relics belong to China, before they were exiled overseas for various reasons, and now that they have the opportunity, then they must not give up any possibility of welcoming them back, especially the "Bust of Chunhui Guifei" by Lang Shining, which is a real national treasure, and it is said that even Emperor Qianlong is reluctant to see more treasures.

In the end, the two sides took a step back, and the compromise method was that this batch of cultural relics would be donated by Tang Ning's woman Han Xuewei, so that it could not only avoid the American donation, but also welcome the national treasure back to China, the only trouble was whether Tang Ning would agree, so Chen Guang, who was more familiar with Tang Ning, came to persuade him, so there was the opening scene.

Tang Ning felt that this request was acceptable, anyway, at this age, he didn't care much about those false names, and letting Han Xuewei shine in the country could be regarded as making up for his lack of reputation to her over the years, so he pretended to hesitate and agreed.

ps: During this time, many friends thought that I would give up the book Japan 1946, in fact, it won't, but I've been busy preparing and saving for a new book recently, so I don't have much time to write this 1946 for the time being, but at least I will update it from time to time before May, anyway, as long as you collect it, there will be a hint at that time.

The other thing is to get a vote for the new book, "Rebirth of India: The Superiority of India" is written about modern India, I dare not say whether it is well written, but at least the writing attitude is still very serious.
