In the main hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, 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 present.
"Dear media reporters, now is the question time, everyone is welcome to ask questions"
Before the words were spoken, many media reporters in the audience had raised their arms, scrambling one by one.
The host of the donation ceremony glanced at the scene, then raised his hand and pointed at a domestic reporter. The reporter had the word 'cctv' printed on his coat, obviously 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. It is very admirable that you can donate five thousand volumes of the priceless Dunhuang scriptures at one time for research.
As a Chinese, on behalf of myself, I would like to thank you for your generous donation. I believe that many Chinese people are just like me and are grateful for your generous donation! ”
With that said, the CCTV reporter bowed slightly to Ye Tian.
Not only him, but all the other Chinese people at the scene nodded slightly and clapped again. Obviously everyone felt the same!
Ye Tian, who was sitting on the rostrum, nodded to the CCTV reporter with a smile, but didn't say much.
After the applause subsided, the CCTV reporter got to the point.
"Mr. Ye Tian, according to incomplete statistics, you have traded more than 20,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures in Paris, France and London, England. In today's world, you are well-deserved as the largest collector of Dunhuang scriptures.
In other words, in addition to the five thousand volumes of Dunhuang scriptures donated to the National Library today, you also have at least fifteen thousand volumes of Dunhuang scriptures in your hands. I would like to ask, what do you plan to do with those Dunhuang scriptures? through?
Will you continue to donate? Or will those precious ancient books and documents be publicly displayed? Especially the Dunhuang scriptures exchanged from the National Library of France and plundered by the Frenchman Pelliot more than a hundred years ago.
Because he was proficient in Chinese and Chinese history, the Dunhuang scriptures plundered by Pelliot were the most valuable and essence. Pelliot once boasted that he had taken away all the best Dunhuang scriptures. A valuable paper'.
For example, almost all the paintings and scriptures about Chinese Taoist classics were swept away by Pelliot. For example, Huang Kan's "The Analects" annotated, which contains the key points of everyone's "The Analects" between the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
There are many more scriptures and paintings like this, and each one is extremely precious. Here, I would like to ask, what do you plan to do with these Dunhuang scriptures that were stolen by Pelliot? ”
After asking the question, the CCTV reporter did not sit down. Instead, he stood in front of his seat, staring at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
The same goes for everyone else. Everyone's eyes are focused on Ye Tian, even Director Rao of the National Library and others sitting next to him are the same, their eyes are full of expectation.
Ye Tian looked at the CCTV reporter, then smiled and said loudly:
"This journalist friend raised a lot of questions. I will answer them one by one. First of all, I want to make sure that you are right. Half an hour ago, I was indeed the person with the most Dunhuang scriptures in the world.
However, with the signing of the donation agreement just now, I have taken second place. Now the National Library of China has the largest collection of Dunhuang scriptures. They have a total of more than 21,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures.
And there are only more than 18,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures left in my hands! In fact, this donation of 5,000 volumes of Dunhuang scriptures is just the beginning. I will continue to donate some of the Dunhuang scriptures in the future.
As for the objects of donation, they can be the National Library, Dunhuang Academy, or the National Museum and the Forbidden City. I hope that these Dunhuang scriptures can promote the research of Dunhuang studies and shine the brightest light."
"Pa bang bang"
A round of warm applause erupted once again, resounding throughout the entire Ancestral Temple Hall.
Everyone was applauding, giving their own applause to Ye Tian.
Especially the few people sitting next to him, as well as the senior officials from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, top antique art appraisal experts, and many cultural and museum personnel, all of them were applauding so hard that their slaps were almost broken.
Ye Tian smiled softly, then stretched out his hands and pressed down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.
When the applause subsided, he continued:
"I believe you all know that I plan to build a private museum of my own in Beijing. In this private museum, a Department of Ancient Books and Rare Books will be set up.
By then, all the Dunhuang scriptures in my hands will be stored in this department, including the batch of Dunhuang scriptures that were plundered by Pelliot more than a hundred years ago and brought back to China by me.
Except for some of the most representative paintings and scriptures that will be on display, most of the Dunhuang scriptures will be stored in a state-of-the-art and safe vault with constant temperature and humidity.
All the Dunhuang scriptures in my collection will be open to all experts and scholars who study Dunhuang studies and Chinese culture and history. As long as they apply and get approval, they can see those Dunhuang scriptures.
Due to their age, the Dunhuang scriptures are very fragile. In order to better protect them and pass on the culture and history recorded in them, I plan to digitize them.
After digitization, relevant experts and scholars no longer need to carefully read those ancient books. In the digital reading center of the museum, they can see all the contents recorded in the Dunhuang scriptures.
In this way, the already fragile Dunhuang scriptures can be better protected, remain in this world for a longer time, and continue to shine with the dazzling light of civilization."
After finishing his words, Ye Tianchong nodded slightly to the CCTV reporter, who bowed slightly to him and then sat down with satisfaction.
"Pa bang bang"
The applause rang out again, seemingly 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 foreign reporter and gave the foreigner the opportunity to ask questions.
Of course, this was Ye Tian's instruction. He had made arrangements long before the donation ceremony began.
The foreign reporter stood up, and the staff randomly handed over the microphone.
Immediately afterwards, the foreign reporter began to ask questions in English.
“Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am the Washington Post reporter in Beijing. Dennis, I would like to ask, why did you choose to donate this batch of Dunhuang scriptures to the National Library of China?
Your Intrepid Exploration Company is located in Manhattan, New York, your wife Betty is an American, and you yourself are a naturalized American citizen. Why didn’t you choose the National Library of the United States or the Metropolitan Museum of Art to donate?
One more thing, you are a businessman. According to relevant rumors, you are very persistent in the pursuit of money and wealth. No one can take advantage of you. Why did you choose to donate for free this time?
You have mentioned many times just now that this huge batch of Dunhuang scriptures is a priceless treasure. Each piece is worth a lot of money, but you donated them for free. Can you tell me the reasons for doing so? ”
After finishing speaking, the foreign reporter from the "Washington Post" sat down, his eyes always fixed on Ye Tian, waiting for his answer.
Obviously, this is a **** who harbors evil intentions and has bad intentions.
Hearing this question, a sharp light flashed deep in Ye Tian's eyes, but it was fleeting and no one noticed it.
David, who was sitting next to him, took a deep look at the white reporter and secretly memorized the bastard’s face.
After on-site simultaneous interpretation, all the Chinese people in the Taimiao Hall understood the American reporter’s question, and also heard the malicious intent behind the words!
The faces of the Vice Minister of Culture, Director Rao of the National Library and others who were also on the rostrum could not help but change slightly, with a hint of worry flashing in their eyes.
Without exception, everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian to see how he would answer these malicious questions.
Ye Tian looked at the American reporter, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good morning, Mr. Dennis, you are welcome to attend this donation ceremony and press conference. You are also very welcome to come to work in Beijing. I am glad to see you here.
Yes, my Intrepid Exploration Company is in Manhattan, New York. My wife Betty is an American. Because she stayed in New York to work, I also became a U.S. citizen.
However, I was born and raised in Beijing. It was not until high school that I went to the United States for school. I am Chinese and this can never change! ”
Hearing this, all the Chinese people present could not help but have a flash of admiration in their eyes, but the worry in their eyes also deepened.
Is it really appropriate to do this in such a public place and in front of such an American journalist who obviously has malicious intentions? Should it be more tactful?
The American reporter sitting in the audience couldn't help but feel excited when he heard Ye Tian's words.
No need to ask, this guy’s stomach is starting to leak bad water again!
