Ma Wei, the unusually standard Mandarin, really surprised the Chinese people present. Even the director of the British Museum standing aside could not help but look at him with a different look. It was obviously amazed by the talent of the young man in front of him.

At a young age, so powerful and knowledgeable, he not only helped Britain solve the economic crisis of leaving the EU. He also spoke English and Chinese so standard, he was simply an all-round genius and a geek...

"Mr. Mawei, I didn't expect that your Chinese was so standard!" Director Jin gave Mawei a thumbs up and said.

"I'm too proud, Director Jin, I'm just showing off my skills in front of you." Ma Wei replied modestly with a faint smile. It's really a relief to have the opportunity to speak his mother tongue.

Seeing the Russian young man in front of him, he was so humble and restrained at a young age. More than 10 experts and scholars present couldn't help but recognize him in their hearts. It was not easy to make these intellectuals of high-ranking nod and recognize him.

Five minutes later, led by the British Museum director and government staff, everyone came to the vault where 8 cultural relics were stored. When the warehouse door opened, a special smell floated out of the crack of the door. This is a special reagent prepared by British Museum staff when protecting and restoring cultural relics.

"Everyone, this is the "Princess of the Female Historian" collected by our British Museum, the Liangzhu culture jade cong... We are very sorry for the war we launched against your country in the UK. For this reason, these 8 cultural relics will be returned to China intact." The director of the British Museum, Qiao Jies, solemnly said to Director Jin and others.

British historians also knew very well how much pain the British, French and Eight-Nation Alliance caused to China during the Opium War. Including Director Joez himself and his grandfather, they also participated in the war. This was what Joez heard from his father when he grew up.

When I heard the director of the British Museum apologizing so seriously, I saw the 10 experts and scholars standing in front of me, with their faces moving, obviously moved...

Ma Wei, who was standing next to the vault, was honest and didn't expect such a thing to happen. Although his current body is Russian, he could still feel a thrill of unknown throbbing for Director Joez's apology.

...

After the brief sensation, the next thing is to be the top priority, that is, to identify the authenticity of cultural relics and ensure that they can be transported back to China intact.

"Hiss... Lao Lu, come and have a look! This is the "Pretition of the Female Historian" copied in the Tang Dynasty in our country. Compared with the copy in our museum, the nine sections preserved in the British Museum are obviously more vivid and exquisite in painting..." The two experts in charge of Chinese painting research came to the table with the "Pretition of the Female Historian" excitedly.

This Chinese painting, known as the first Chinese history, has milestone significance and value. The two experts and scholars were excited and trembled a little when they were excited.

"Well... it is indeed the original work from the Tang Dynasty. Gu Kaizhi's painting style is like a spring silkworm spinning silk, with both form and spirit. The gossiping technique used makes the lines in the painting rewind and reunited, even and beautiful. This set of copy is much better than what we preserve in our country. It is a great blessing for the country to be able to lose and regain it now..." Another Chinese painting expert also stood in front of the painting with excitement.

Gu Kaizhi was an outstanding painter and poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He, together with Cao Buxing, Lu Tanwei, and Zhang Sengyou, was collectively known as the "Four Great Masters of the Six Dynasties".

Gu Kaizhi's paintings were intended to convey the spirit. His arguments such as "transmitting ideas and "writing spirit with form" laid a very important foundation for the development of traditional Chinese painting.

Although the original work of "The Master of the Female" has been lost, fortunately, two sets of copies from the Tang Dynasty have been relatively well preserved. Now, the works that have been lost for a hundred years can be reappeared. This is really exciting for these experts who have devoted their entire lives and studied Chinese painting.

Not only the Chinese painting experts were so excited that they almost burst into tears, but even the ancient ceramic experts and ancient cultural relics experts were almost choked up by the precious cultural relics in front of them...

"Yes, this is indeed a tarp from our Shang and Zhou dynasties. This kind of musical instrument was popular in the Eastern Zhou dynasty. It is not like the bell mouth, but it is a flat mouth. The cross-section of the instrument body is oval."

"There are three inscriptions found in our country now named "六": the Suming Pill of Qi in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period; the Shuyi Pill of Qi in the late Spring and Autumn Period; the Gui Gongsun Ban Pill of the late Spring and Autumn Period. The British Museum preserved this pill is at least 600 years earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period!"

...

More than 10 experts and scholars on the scene looked at the 8 cultural relics in front of them as if they were treasured. If we consider the value point of view, Mawei asked the British Museum to return the 8 cultural relics to be sold for at least 920 million US dollars. The key is that there is a price but no market.

"Mr. Mawei! Thank you so much this time!" After confirming the historical relics, Director Jin of the National Museum held Mawei's hands gratefully and expressed his gratitude to him.

The experts and scholars behind him also gathered to thank Ma Wei, "Mr. Ma Wei, if it weren't for you this time, we might not have known the "Princess of the Female Master's Guide" and the precious cultural relics such as Liangzhu culture jade cong were preserved in the British Museum. It would not be so easy to find them back."

An ancient artifact expert wearing glasses, solemnly and nagging, said thanking Ma Wei.

In fact, everyone present knew that Ma Wei could not tell the situation in China and chose to treasure it privately. In this way, the country may never know where these 8 national treasure-level cultural relics eventually went.

After all, there were at least millions of cultural relics lost in the Old Summer Palace. Many of them were auctioned and resold internationally by foreigners or preserved in museums in their own country for tourists to watch.

In addition, many cultural relics are collected privately and have no chance of exposure. This also greatly increases the difficulty of retrieving cultural relics. At least for auctions, they can be bought with money. If the exhibition is in a museum, maybe one day the two countries will establish diplomatic relations and the other party will take the initiative to return it...

"You're welcome, these are all things I should do!" Ma Wei smiled and replied. Fortunately, the eight historical relics preserved in the British Museum are all genuine works. Otherwise, if there are fake antiques and mixed in, it would be too embarrassing.
