Chapter 2007: Questions containing evil intentions
In the Great Hall of the Taimiao, the press conference has already begun. The voice of the host of the donation ceremony was once again uploaded from the rostrum and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.
"Dear friends from the media, now is the time to ask questions, and you are welcome to ask questions."
Before the words came out, many media reporters in the audience raised their arms one after another, vying to get ahead.
The host of the donation ceremony glanced at the scene, then raised his finger to a domestic reporter whose coat was printed with the word ‘cctv’, obviously enjoying the benefits of the landlord.
Immediately afterwards, the reporter from China Central Television stood up, reached out his hand to take the microphone handed over by the staff, and immediately began to ask questions.
"Hello, Mr. Ye Tian, I am a reporter from China Central Television. You can donate 5,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures at one time for research, which is very admirable.
As a Chinese, on behalf of myself, I would like to thank you for your generosity. I believe that many Chinese people are like me and are grateful for your generous donation! "
While talking, the CCTV reporter bowed slightly to Ye Tian.
Non-but he, all the other Chinese people on the scene nodded gently, and clapped again. Obviously everyone felt the same way!
Ye Tian, sitting on the rostrum, nodded at the CCTV reporter with a smile, but didn't say much.
After the applause fell slightly, the CCTV reporter entered the subject.
"Mr. Ye Tian, according to incomplete statistics, you have traded more than 20,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in Paris, France and London, England. In today's world, you are the well-deserved largest collector of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
In other words, in addition to the five thousand Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures donated to the National Library today, you still have at least 15,000 Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in your hand. I would like to ask, what do you plan to do with those Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures?
Will you continue to donate? Or will the precious ancient books and documents be publicly displayed? Especially the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures exchanged from the French National Library and looted by the Frenchman Percy and more than 100 years ago.
Because they are fluent in Chinese and Chinese historical knowledge, the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures looted by Percy and Zeng are the most valuable and the most essential. Percy and Zeng claimed that they took all the most valuable Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. examination paper'.
For example, the pictures and scriptures related to Chinese Taoist classics were almost completely swept by Percy and, such as Huang Kan's "The Analects", which contains the main points of the "Analects" spoken by everyone between the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
There are many other scriptures and pictures, each of which is extremely precious. Here, I would like to ask, what do you plan to do with this batch of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures that were stolen by Bosch and He? "
After finishing the question, the CCTV reporter did not sit down, but stood in front of his seat, watching Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.
Everyone else is the same. Everyone's eyes are on Ye Tian. Even the curator Rao of the National Library sitting next to him is the same, and their eyes are full of expectation.
Ye Tian looked at the CCTV reporter, then smiled and said loudly:
"This reporter friend asked a lot of questions. I will answer them one by one. First of all, I must be sure. You are right. Half an hour ago, I was indeed the person with the most Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in the world.
However, with the signing of the donation agreement just now, I have taken the second place. Now the National Library of China has the largest collection of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures. They have more than 21,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
The Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures left in my hands, there are only more than 18,000 volumes left! In fact, this donation of 5,000 volumes of Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures is just the beginning, and I will continue to donate some of the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in the future.
As for the donations, they can be the National Library, the Dunhuang Research Institute, the National Museum and the Forbidden City. I hope these Dunhuang scriptures can promote the study of Dunhuang Studies and shine with the brightest light."
"Papa Papa"
There was a round of warm applause on the scene again, resounding through the entire Taimiao hall.
Everyone was applauding and gave Ye Tian their own applause.
Especially the few people sitting next to them, as well as those high-level experts from the Forbidden City and the National Museum, top antique art appraisal experts and many cultural and cultural personnel, all clapped desperately, and the slap was almost broken.
Ye Tian chuckled softly, then stretched out his hands and gently pressed down to signal everyone to be quiet.
When the applause fell slightly, he continued:
"Presumably you already know that I am planning to build a private museum of my own in Beijing. In this private museum, I will set up a department of ancient books and rare books.
By that time, all the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures in my hand will be collected in this department, including the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures that were looted by Bossyhe more than 100 years ago and brought back to China by me.
Except for some of the representative paintings and scriptures, most of the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures will be stored in a safe, which is the most advanced, safest, constant temperature and humidity.
All the Dunhuang Buddhist 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 submit an application and get approved, they can see those Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
Due to the age too old, those Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures are very fragile. In order to better protect them and to pass on the culture and history recorded in them, I plan to digitalize them.
After the digitization process, relevant experts and scholars no longer need to carefully read the ancient books. In the Museum Digital Reading Center, you can see all the contents recorded in the Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures.
In this way, those Dunhuang Buddhist scriptures, which are already fragile, will be better protected, will remain in this world for a longer period of time, and will continue to bloom the dazzling light of civilization for a long time."
The voice fell, Ye Tianchong nodded lightly to the CCTV reporter, and the reporter bowed slightly to him, and then sat down with satisfaction.
"Papa Papa"
The applause sounded again, seeming to be more enthusiastic than before.
Before the applause fell, many media reporters in the audience raised their arms again, vying for the next opportunity to ask questions.
This time, the host of the donation ceremony pointed to a foreigner reporter and gave the foreigner a chance to ask questions.
Of course, this is from Ye Tian's instruction. He made arrangements long before the donation ceremony began.
The foreign reporter stood up, and the staff randomly handed the microphone over.
After that, the foreign reporter started asking questions, in English.
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I’m the Washington Post reporter in Beijing, Dennis, I would like to ask, why is the National Library of China as the person you chose to donate these Dunhuang scriptures?
Your Brave Fearless Exploration Company is located in Manhattan, New York. Your wife Betty is an American. You are also a naturalized American. Why don't you choose the National Library of America or the Metropolitan Museum to donate?
One more thing, you are a businessman. According to related rumors, you are very persistent in the pursuit of money and wealth. No one should want to take advantage of you. Why do you choose to donate for free this time?
Just now you have repeatedly mentioned that these huge batch of Dunhuang Tibetan scriptures are priceless, and each piece is of great value, but you donated them for free. Can you tell us the reason for this? "
After finishing speaking, the foreign reporter from the "Washington Post" sat down, but Ye Tian, who kept his eyes fixed on him, waited for his answer.
Obviously, this is a malicious bastard.
Hearing this question, a sharp glow flashed deep in Ye Tian's eyes, but it was fleeting and no one noticed it.
, who was sitting next to him, took a deep look at the white reporter, and secretly recorded the bastard's face.
After simultaneous interpretation at the scene ~www.wuxiaspot.com~All the Chinese in the temple hall of Taimiao understood the American reporter's question, and also heard the malicious intent!
The Minister of Culture, the curator of the National Library, Rao and others who were also on the rostrum, their expressions changed slightly, and a little worry flashed in their eyes.
Without exception, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian to see how he answered these malicious questions.
Ye Tian looked at the American reporter, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good morning, Mr. Dennis, you are welcome to participate in this donation ceremony and press conference. You are also very welcome to work in Beijing. I am glad to see you here.
Yes, my Brave Fearless Exploration Company is located in Manhattan, New York, and my wife Betty is an American. Because I stayed in New York to work, I also became American.
However, I was born in Beijing and grew up in Beijing. It was not until I was in high school that I went to the United States before going to school. I am a Chinese. This can never be changed! "
Hearing this, the eyes of all the Chinese people on the scene could not help but a flash of appreciation, but the worries in everyone's eyes became deeper.
In such a public occasion, facing such an obviously malicious American journalist, is it really appropriate to do so? Should I be more euphemistic?
The American reporter sitting in the audience could not help but flash with excitement on his face when he heard what Ye Tian said.
Don’t ask, this guy’s stomach is starting to leak water again!
