Escape from the British Museum is a thought-provoking work that tells the story of an artifact escaping from the British Museum and seeking to return home. In the process of delving into this work, I deeply felt the emotional, historical and cultural values behind it.
The protagonist of the article, a Chinese twig-patterned thin-tire jade pot, escaped from the British Museum and turned into a lovely girl. Her appearance is not only her own desire for freedom, but also her longing for her homeland and home. During her journey, she met a Chinese** person who was working overseas, and together they embarked on the road home. This journey is not just a return to geography, but also a return to cultural and historical identity.
Reading this, I can't help but think of the more than 23,000 Chinese artifacts in the British Museum. Most of these cultural relics were transported from our country by the British during the fire. They are silent, but history is deafening. These artifacts, locked in the British Museum, also have their own stories and emotions, and they also yearn to return to their homes.
The scene of the small jade pot reading the family letter to the cultural relics in the article touched my heart even more. The visions written in the family letter are full of feelings for the family and country, but they have never mentioned their bitterness to the outside world. This gave me a deeper understanding of what a real "letter from home is worth 10,000 dollars". Although these cultural relics have been wandering abroad for a long time, their only wish is "May the mountains and rivers be safe and the country will be forever safe". I was deeply struck by this deep homesickness and yearning for home.
In addition, the details in the text are also very well described. For example, "the pottery figurines of the qin master and the flute master originated from the Han Dynasty", "the dragon pattern glazed tiles describe themselves with broken bones", "the female history of the real people" because of improper preservation, there is a phenomenon of losing powder", etc., these details reflect the historical and cultural value of the cultural relics, as well as the various hardships they have experienced.
Through the perspective of cultural relics, it allows us to re-examine history and culture, and cherish and love our cultural relics more. At the same time, it also gives us a deep understanding of what it means to be truly at home and belong. For every Chinese, "going home" is an emotional word. I hope that one day, and there will be a day, those wandering cultural relics can truly return to their homes and reunite with their loved ones.
The mountains and rivers are safe, and the country is forever safe.
