During the Spring Festival of 2012, an action movie called "Zodiac" was released, which opened with a plot depicting a wealthy Chinese merchant who bought the head of a beast in the Old Summer Palace at a sky-high price.
Although the general public believed that it was just a movie clip, the director made it clear that it was a real event!
It was He Ping, the wealthy Chinese businessman.
Under what circumstances did he auction the beast head of the Old Summer Palace?What prompted him to purchase cultural relics and donate them to the state free of charge?What was his emotional experience?
A beast head appeared at the auction, and He Ping went all out to buy it.
In the early 2000s, Hong Kong's two major auction houses, Caltex and Sotheby's, announced that they were going to hold an auction of monkey, tiger and cow heads from the Old Summer Palace.
When the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar. Many Chinese feel very sad that what originally belonged to China has to be bought back by public auction, which is simply a naked humiliation.
The civil revolt became increasingly fierce, and the masses spontaneously organized demonstrations and launched ** activities in front of the auction houses, hoping to stop the auction activities of the two major auction houses.
Such results are not easily rewritten.
Ox heads, monkey heads, and tiger heads.
In the Hong Kong Marriott Hotel, the atmosphere has not become very calm because of the appearance of the beast's head. Chinese collectors from all over the country have been debating whether to participate in the auction of the Old Summer Palace's animal heads.
He Ping, who was the chairman of Poly Group at the time, was also involved.
He leaned back in his chair, smoking a cigarette while quietly watching the others argue, not seeing him involved in it all the time, more like a bystander.
Some Chinese collectors refused to participate in the auction because they believed it was an act of ulterior motives by US imperialism. They believe that overseas collectors will take advantage of the Chinese's national sentiment towards cultural relics to raise the standard, which in turn will make it more difficult to redeem cultural relics.
He Ping's position is on the left.
Once the Chinese take a photograph of the cultural relics, overseas collectors will inevitably be insatiable, resulting in the next time the Chinese must pay a higher price to recapture the cultural relics, and the cost of returning the cultural relics will increase day by day.
They believe that there must be other more suitable ways to recover Chinese artifacts than public auctions.
Other collectors felt the need to participate in the auction and went to great lengths to get their artifacts back.
They believe that China's economy is growing rapidly, that China's currency is becoming more and more important internationally, and that the cost of returning cultural relics can still be kept within acceptable limits.
If this opportunity is missed, when will these artifacts reappear?When will they return to their homeland?
The two sides held their own views and did not compromise with each other, which led to an impasse in the discussions.
When everyone was helpless, Yu Weichao, the former director of the National Museum, changed his mind and told a small story.
Poor families are unable to protect each child, and some children are abducted by robbers and wander for many years, experiencing all kinds of hardships. Now that these children are coming home and crying "Mommy, Mommy, I'm going home", will you choose to save them or ignore them?
Suddenly, there was silence at the scene, and the atmosphere became a little solemn. Everyone present understood what Yu Weichao was referring to, but no one refuted, not because he couldn't, but because he was ashamed.
He Ping has become a father at the moment, and he can't stand the bullying of his children, and in this case, he doesn't think about the pros and cons, and he doesn't take into account the financial interests.
He had only one thought on his mind at the moment, and that was to welcome the child home.
He Ping stood up suddenly, put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and said solemnly after not speaking for a long time: "I'm going to decide, this national treasure movie." ”
Chairman He Ping's decision was that the head of Poly Group's Hong Kong office attended the auction within the specified time. At the time of the auction, the monkey head appeared as the first lot, and after several rounds of bidding, it was finally sold for 7 million.
The person in charge was shocked to find that this ** far exceeded his expectations, so he didn't dare to make an arbitrary decision and quickly contacted He Ping.
He Ping said that if you want to take pictures of national treasures, you don't have to care.
After getting He Ping's consent, the person in charge finally succeeded in 81850,000 Hong Kong dollars to shoot the monkey's head.
In the same bull first auction, there was also a ** bidding situation. The person in charge followed the bid of the monkey head and directly shouted the price, and finally won 77450,000 Hong Kong dollars successfully won the head of the bull.
Every auction is like a war without gunpowder, and He Ping feels that it will be even more difficult to successfully auction the tiger's head in the future.
In the same year in May, the auction house held another public auction, and when the auctioneer had just finished introducing the tiger's head, He Ping stood beside the auctioneer and signaled that he had something to say.
The auctioneer handed him the microphone and stepped aside, and then He Ping said: "Poly Group is bound to win the auction of the tiger's head, and we will do our best to make it return to the motherland." If you are also a Chinese with the same desire, please consider giving up, thank you. ”
A round of applause echoed across the audience, blending approval and admiration, leading many bidders to withdraw spontaneously.
After several rounds of bidding, He Ping realized that someone was maliciously confronting Poly Group, and a person who had been participating in the auction with ** was biting the bid, and at this time, the bidding ** of the tiger head had soared to four figures.
He Ping's valuation of this ** is far lower than the actual list price, and at this moment, his heart is even more painful.
The funds in the Poly Group are no longer enough to support several rounds of bidding, and he is very anxious, but he does not dare to show it easily, for fear that the opponent will see his true situation.
He had to endure the pain, continue the auction, and bring the tiger's head home.
Fortunately, the opponent stopped raising the price after raising the ** to more than 14 million, and finally Poly Group successfully auctioned the tiger's head for more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
After He Ping brought the cultural relics back, he did not keep them privately, but donated them directly to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
At that time, it only took a few yuan to buy a pound of pork, but it took more than 30 million yuan to finally return the three animal heads to the motherland.
He was cheered by countless Chinese, and some patriotic collectors even donated their private collections directly and free of charge, causing a patriotic craze ...... the collecting world
Mr. Heping's patriotic behavior made the newspapers, and the traditionally low-key man has become a household name.
His family situation has increased with the attention **, people are surprised by his status as a businessman, but even more shocking is his family background!
He Biao is my father, and I aspire to become a military talent.
He Ping was born in a red family, and his father, He Biao, was an old Red Army who was influenced by revolutionaries to join our party and become a military doctor in the party when he was young.
He skillfully integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine and created a unique way. A variety of diseases that are difficult to use alone with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine methods have been effectively treated under his methods.
How high is his medical skills?
* I have contracted toxic dysentery, and my condition is so severe that it needs to be urgent**.
He Biao's past**.
During the Red Army, when there was a lack of anti-inflammatory drugs in the troops, and everyone was anxious, He Biao calmly advised the soldiers to prepare hot water and vinegar.
Under the suspicious gaze of the soldiers, He Biao gave ** two large bowls of vinegar water.
Early the next morning, **'s condition had basically improved.
After saving many lives with his superb medical skills, he earned the reputation of "Huatuo of the Red Army".
Under the leadership of the party organization, He Biao participated in many battles such as the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, saving the lives of countless front-line soldiers and party leaders.
He Biao was appointed Vice Minister of Health after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he made many pioneering contributions to China's medical construction, and was highly praised by the country's leaders.
He Ping was born in a red family, and he is the third child of He Biao and Chen Kai.
He Ping was born at the end of the Sino-Japanese War, and the domestic situation was chaotic, and he experienced some hardships to survive.
He Biao is busy with work, so the responsibility of educating children naturally falls on his mother, Chen Kai.
Chen Kai is passionate about telling children the stories of the heroic battles of the Red Army and the Eighth Route Army, while constantly spreading the advanced ideas of the Chinese Communist Party.
He Biao took a group photo with his wife.
Under the influence of the red spirit, He Ping has been an upright person since he was a child, and he has a dream of joining the army.
However, Chen Kai's mother strongly opposed his idea, and she wanted He Ping to study medicine.
He Biao had a completely different view on this matter than He Ping, and he completely respected He Ping's opinion.
After the persuasion of the father and son, Chen Kai finally agreed to let He Ping specialize in military theory.
He Ping fulfilled his wish in 1970 and was admitted to the Harbin Military Engineering Institute. He originally planned to concentrate on his studies in school, but he did not expect that soon after, the movement of educated youth to the countryside was in full swing.
Soon after, He Ping came to the military reclamation farm in Hunan. When he first arrived in a strange place, he seemed a little lost and at a loss, but he also tried to adjust his state.
Couple He Biao. The next year, He Biao's father went to Jiangxi to repair water to participate in labor, and since then the family has been scattered in different places, mother.
Chen Kai is very worried about his future fate.
He Ping's letter instantly comforted his anxious mother, Chen Kai.
In fact, it was not the letter itself that was decisive, but the several girls' ** that were attached to the envelope.
After she read the **, she immediately understood the meaning, and said with a smile: "The stone that I have been resting on in my heart can now be regarded as free." ”
Who is the girl in **?Why was Chen Kai so happy to see her?
I need more information to understand your needs.
Meet your parents and form a wonderful marriage.
Deng Rong is the girl on the **, she is the third child of Comrade Xiaoping, and she is also the youngest and most beloved child by him.
Deng Rong completed his studies at Beijing Medical College, when Comrade Xiaoping had already passed the middle-aged stage, and the excessive consumption of his youth led to some inevitable health problems.
Deng Rong spontaneously followed his father, Comrade Xiaoping, not only to take care of his daily life, but also to help him at work.
Comrade Xiaoping's words were accented with a thick Sichuan accent. When he goes out to visit, he often needs to slow down and sometimes repeat it several times so that the other person can hear clearly.
Deng Rong and her sister Deng Nan.
Deng Rong worked as a Mandarin interpreter beside his father, Comrade Xiaoping, and occasionally comforted his father when he was mentally exhausted.
It's hard not to like such a thoughtful and outstanding girl.
Deng Rong's life circle is very limited, how did He Ping get to know her?
At this moment, we must mention a figure named Lu Yantong.
Lü Yantong is the daughter of founding general Lü Zhengcao, while He Ping is the son of He Biao, a major general of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Because of the fatherly relationship between the two families, the daily interactions between them are quite frequent.
At the same time, Lu Yantong and Deng Rong became close friends because they were both girls.
Comrade Deng Rong and Xiaoping.
Under the mediation of Lu Yantong, Deng Rong and He Ping had their first correspondence.
He Ping's handwriting is smooth and flowing, full of power and vigor. It is often said that "seeing words is like seeing people", and looking at his handwriting can give a glimpse of him as an aspiring and idealistic reader.
For Deng Rong, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it, and she is full of curiosity about this person she has never met. When she learned that he also liked literature, she wrote him a reply as a book friend.
In this era of underdeveloped information, communication between the two relied entirely on correspondence.
At first, it was only one or two emails a month, then gradually increased to one a week, and then two or three times a week.
Their relationship was gradually established in these letters.
After Deng Rong confirmed her feelings for He Ping at the end of 1971, she began to test the attitude of her father, Comrade Xiaoping, intentionally or unintentionally.
Comrade Xiaoping did not oppose Deng Rong falling in love, but supported young people to fall in love freely. But when he suddenly heard the news that his daughter was in love, he, like other fathers, was both happy and worried about whether his daughter would be cheated.
Knowing that the other party was He Biao's son, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Comrade *** once said: "Dr. He's son will not be far from going if he wants to." ”
Early one morning in early 1972, Deng Rong and his father, Comrade Xiaoping, appeared at the train station, waiting for He Ping, who was about to meet his parents.
Comrade Xiaoping kept talking with He Ping on the way home, and he calmly answered his future father-in-law's questions one after another.
Deng Rong could clearly feel that Comrade Xiaoping was inspecting his future son-in-law.
He Ping was coming, and at that time, there was a shortage of supplies, so Zhuo Lin made a table of dishes to entertain him.
During the meal, the eyes of Deng Rong's family focused on He Ping, which was both curious, sincere, and mixed with a little doubt.
He Ping greeted Deng Rong's family scrutiny with a calm attitude, showing a full state of energy to meet his parents for the first time.
Deng Rong's grandmother Xia Bogen and mother Zhuo Lin were satisfied with He Ping's performance, because the elders liked spiritual guys.
He Ping and Deng Rong's old **.
He Ping spent the day busy, taking part in household chores such as repairing the vegetable garden, carrying water, and chopping firewood.
In the middle of the night, he had a long talk with Comrade Xiaoping again, which did not end until very late.
Deng Rong's family saw it and agreed with He Ping's performance and the marriage between them.
After he completed the negotiations between his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he returned home the next day and expressed his desire to marry He Biao and his wife.
After learning that the other party was the daughter of Comrade Xiaoping and a top student who graduated from medical school, He Biao and his wife praised Deng Rong, the future daughter-in-law.
After the Deng family and the He family tied the knot, after marriage, He Ping and his wife were serious and responsible in their work, and lived in harmony like Qin Se and Ming.
Zhuo Lin, Deng Zhifang, ** and Deng Rong stood together.
With the further deepening of reform and opening up, Poly Group was born in the nineties of the last century to respond to the call of the United Nations.
With his outstanding personal ability, He Ping was successfully elected as the chairman of Poly Group, and under his leadership, the company successfully reversed the loss trend and achieved huge profits.
With the steady development of He Ping's career, Deng Lao's health has gradually deteriorated, and he has reached the point where he needs to be taken care of by his side.
After learning of the situation, He Ping immediately put down the work at hand and moved back to the Deng family with Deng Rong. Like Deng Lao's biological child, he worked closely with Deng Rong and took care of Deng Lao wholeheartedly until Deng Lao's death.
He Ping (the one standing on the left).
All in all. Deng Lao praised He Ping many times in public before his death, and he handed over an answer sheet that satisfied Deng Lao when he became a son-in-law.
He Ping is now in his old age, and although he still retains the title of honorary chairman of Poly Group, he has actually left the public eye and enjoys a dull family life.
As a man, He Ping has a successful career;As a husband, he loved his wife and daughter;As the son-in-law of Deng Lao, he personally brought back the three beast heads and handed them over to the state free of charge.
He lived up to Deng Lao's ardent expectations, nor did he live up to his red identity. In He Ping, patriotism and feelings for the family and country have been fully reflected.
