A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 311 Let history remember this day! It is our duty to revive the glory of the literary world! Now the attack and defense are alien!
The Liao tri-color arhat statues are rare treasures from the Tang Dynasty, with a total of 16 statues. These Buddhist porcelain sculptures have lifelike faces, vivid expressions, smooth folds and patterns on their clothes, and are made with superb sculpting techniques. They are outstanding works of ancient Chinese realistic sculptures.

Due to the wars and the passage of time, five Arhat statues have been damaged over a long period of time. So far:

There are still 11 Liao tri-color Arhat statues in existence.

Ironically, although China is the origin of Liao tri-colored arhat statues, these rare treasures can be called national treasures.

There is not a single one of them preserved in China, but instead they are scattered all over the world?
According to the statistics of existing data, these 11 Liao tri-color Arhat statues scattered around the world are treasured in.
There are 6 statues in total, including those in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Argentine Museum of Art.

There are 4 statues in total, including the Hermitage in Russia, the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada, the Guimet Museum of Asian Art in Paris, France, and the private collector Kojiro Matsukata in Japan.

As for this last Liao tri-color Arhat statue——

It is treasured in the British Museum in London, England.

In recent years, the lost cultural relics that have gained the most fame and caused the most controversy in the media are none other than the 12 zodiac bronze heads from the Old Summer Palace?

But you have to know that even among the 12 bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace, eight are treasured in domestic exhibition halls!
On the other hand, this Liao Dynasty tri-colored Arhat statue.
That means there isn't even one!

In terms of historical background, the 12 zodiac bronze heads of the Old Summer Palace are the product of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Compared with the Liao tri-color Arhat statues of the Tang Dynasty,

There is a gap of more than a thousand years in between!

In terms of craftsmanship value, the Liaoshen Tri-Color Arhat Statue is the pinnacle of craft sculpture during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty!

Even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it was a rare craft treasure.

It is an existence that can be treasured in the palace!

On the other hand, the 12 zodiac bronze heads from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty
They are just part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. To put it in a more understandable way, they are just more high-end faucets in ancient times?
Now, a cultural relic that is far more precious than the twelve bronze heads from the Old Summer Palace will be returned to China from the British Museum.
When this news came back to China from the UK——

The whole world was in an uproar!

The archaeological community was shocked, and experienced and visionary identification experts came to Chenghai Drama Academy early on.

Upon hearing the news, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately set off for Chenghai.

Leaders from Beijing, one after another, set out from Beijing one week before the cultural relics return ceremony began.

Already arrived at Chengxi!

In order to ensure the smooth conduct of the cultural relics return ceremony, Chenghai Theatre Academy, together with the Chenghai Municipal Government, invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and repaired a huge venue for the cultural relics return ceremony in front of the Chenghai Theatre Academy Library.

You want to ask why such a big fuss is needed?
There are only two reasons:

Firstly, the Liao tri-color arhat statue is priceless and immeasurable. As the first Liao tri-color arhat statue to be returned to the country, this cultural relic handover ceremony has great historical significance!
Second, many important figures will be present at this cultural relics handover ceremony.

Among them are Queen Elizabeth of England and the current British Prime Minister——

They will come in person!

The last time a British Prime Minister visited China was in 97 when he returned from Hong Kong.

After many years, the British Prime Minister has come to China again. Not only the Prime Minister, but also Queen Elizabeth, the symbol of national honor, will come to Chengxi and Chenghai Drama Academy as the organizer of this return ceremony.

Of course, you have to prepare well!

Pay attention to diplomatic etiquette!
Pay attention to international impact!
Originally, the tentative location for the return of the cultural relics was the Forbidden City. After the cultural relics return ceremony was held in the Forbidden City, Queen Elizabeth and the British Prime Minister would go to the City Hall for an appointment.

This is the correct etiquette for entertaining visiting distinguished guests.

However, due to the presence of one person, the location of the return of the cultural relics was temporarily modified——

There is no doubt that this person is Jiang Hai!

Due to the existence of Jianghai, the Forbidden City, which was originally planned to be the venue for the cultural relics return ceremony, was temporarily changed to the Chenghai Drama Academy Library.

Due to the presence of Jiang Hai, the Great Hall used to receive Queen Elizabeth and the British Prime Minister was temporarily converted into the conference room of Chenghai Drama Academy.

You have to ask:
"Who is this Jiang Hai?"

"Is he so awesome?"

From an objective point of view, there is really nothing wrong with this. After all, this Liao tri-color Arhat statue is -

Jiang Hai won all of them with his own abilities!
If Queen Elizabeth does not object and the British Prime Minister agrees, then...
What's wrong with changing the cultural relics return ceremony from the Forbidden City to the Chenghai Theatre Academy?

At this moment, at the entrance of Chenghai Drama Academy——

On high alert!

In the university town, the teachers and students like a tide have already surrounded the Chenghai Drama Academy, and these teachers and students gathered at the door——

Some are from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Tongji University.

Some are from Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University.

They all gathered at the door, discussing this grand ceremony that would be recorded in history books:
"Is Jiang Hai so powerful? Even the Prime Minister and Queen Elizabeth have to look up to him and come to Chenghai Drama Academy to attend the cultural relics return ceremony? You said he is a student? This is a bit too exaggerated."

"Do you understand the value of the Goncourt Prize? Do you understand how important the Man Booker International Prize is? As the first Asian writer to win the Man Booker International Prize, I don't need to explain how important this is."

"After three days of not seeing each other, I should be looking at him with new eyes? After three months of not seeing each other, how come Jiang Hai's circle of friends can even include the Prime Minister and the Queen? Is this really the Jiang Hai I know? I can't believe it."

"You know Jiang Hai? Jiang Hai is your classmate? Can you tell me how this guy can be so awesome?"

"I know him, but he doesn't know me. But when it comes to Jiang Hai, I do know some of his past. Jiang Hai is a legend at Chenghai Drama Academy."

Anyone can see that the cultural relics handover ceremony held at Chenghai Drama Academy this time will be regarded as a legend——

Even go down in history!
Who could have imagined that after the return of Hong Kong in 1997, the British Prime Minister and the Queen, the symbol of national honor, would visit China again in this way?
From the perspective of this matter itself——

The Liao tri-color Arhat statue is a national treasure far superior to the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac animals from the Old Summer Palace. It is also the first Arhat statue that was lost overseas to be returned to China. This event itself has a certain commemorative value.

After many years, Queen Elizabeth and the British Prime Minister visited China again, which itself has certain historical significance.

It is because of these two things combined that——

Only then can such a terrifying level of attention be generated!
Different from the bustling university town in the past, the Chenghai Theatre Academy at this moment——

On high alert!

Except for students of Chenghai Drama Academy, no unauthorized persons are allowed to enter!
No matter what you do, it doesn’t matter whether you are from Shanghai Jiaotong or Fudan University.

No matter whether you are from Tsinghua University, Peking University or Tongji University.

Without the permission of Chengxi teachers and students——

No entry!
No one is allowed in!

There is no such thing as a backdoor.

after all
No matter how noble you are, can you be as noble as Queen Elizabeth?
No matter how prominent your position is, can you be as prominent as the British Prime Minister?
Moreover, the leaders from Beijing were also invited to Chenghai Drama Academy.
In order to ensure the personal safety of these important people, no outsiders are allowed to enter!
On-site control began two days before the ceremony officially began.

To be honest.
Such an important ceremony, a cultural relic return ceremony that is likely to go down in history, such an honor, is taking place right under my nose.
Who wouldn't want to come and join in the fun?

To put it simply, this is called witnessing history.

To put it in a broader sense, this is called a participant in history!
It is precisely because of the curiosity about the cultural relic return ceremony that many students in the university town want to try to flock to the Chengxi campus:

"I am a student of Tongji University. Our school is right next to Chengxi Opera House. I have a good family background. I beg you, SWAT uncle, can you let me in?"

"My brother is studying at Chengxi Opera! He is also the president of the student union. I would like to go in and visit Chengxi Opera. Is it possible?"

"I am an exchange student sent by Tsinghua University to Chenghai for an internship. How can a Tsinghua student like me not even be allowed to enter the door? Is it necessary to be so strict?"

"Please, security guard, I just want to go in and take a look at what Queen Elizabeth looks like, is that okay?"

There was a huge crowd of people gathered in front of Chenghai Drama Academy.

Many students from the surrounding areas of the university town, and even from far away universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University, want to enter the campus of Chenghai Drama Academy.
Witness the grand ceremony of the return of cultural relics and become a participant in history!
But helpless, due to regulations——

If they say you are not allowed in, then they really won’t let you in!

Don't talk about students from Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Even if the king of heaven comes, it won’t work!
Under the envious gazes of many students, several students from Chenghai Drama Academy, with their heads and chests puffed out, like a few victorious roosters, broke through layers of barriers and walked into the Chenghai Drama Academy campus without hesitation.

It's like being proud of oneself.

As they walked, they kept muttering:

"Good luck!"

"It's fucking awesome!"

Once upon a time, Chenghai Drama Academy was an art school. Not to mention Tsinghua University and Peking University, even Fudan University and Tongji University, which are in the same university town, would shake their heads when the name of Chenghai Drama Academy was mentioned: "Chenghai Drama Academy?"

"It's a third-rate school, how can it compare with us?"

If students of Chengxi want to visit these colleges, they have to make an appointment on their mobile phones. After the students in the Academic Affairs Office review your information, you are eligible to enter the campus. Even so, they are still afraid that you will be delayed.
But now, our students in Chengxi do not want to visit your 985 universities.
Do you want to squeeze into school by licking your face?

What is this called?
This is called the me in the past you ignored, the me now you can't afford
Amid the chaotic crowd at the scene.

If you say you are a student from Peking University or Tsinghua University, no one will even look at you twice.

after all
No matter how awesome you are as a student at Peking University or Tsinghua University, you will still be rejected like me. Aren't you unable to get in just like me?

However, if you say you are a student of Chengxi, if you shout out in the crowd:
"I'm a sophomore at Chenghai Drama Academy!"

A group of students will immediately gather around you and stare at you with extremely envious eyes:
"A student of Chengxi?"

"Oh my god, that's really awesome."

In the past, it was the 985 universities that discriminated against Chengxi students based on their academic qualifications.

But now
Go against Tiangang!

Easy to attack and defend!

At this moment, those top students from Tongji and Fudan who usually acted arrogantly outside the school were standing at the gate of Chenghai Drama Academy, looking into the school with envious eyes.

As if he was feeling proud, the monkey Zhang Wenle began to jump back and forth outside the cordon erected at the school gate:
“I’m in, and I’m out.”

"I'm out, hey, guess what?"

"I came in again, are you angry?"

Do you think Monkey Zhang Wenle deserves a beating?

There is no doubt that his smug look almost aroused the public outrage of the students watching outside the school:
"Jiang Hai is the awesome one, why is this guy showing off here?"

"The highlight is clearly Cheng Xi, how can this guy still pretend?"

When we were in school, you called me a monkey and I didn't argue with you.

But outside of school, what should you call me?
The one in that bag calls me Monkey Lord!

"Stand there!" Like a fox borrowing the power of a tiger, Zhang Wenle pointed at a tall and thin boy in the crowd and raised his towering jawline. "You are a student from Tsinghua University, what are you doing here?"

“What a level!”

"Tsinghua University is not worthy of being compared with our Chengxi Opera."

After saying this, as if he was not satisfied at all, Monkey Zhang Wenle pointed at a pretty girl at the school gate, his eyebrows twitching up and down:

"And you! Don't move!"

"Who are you? I think you're from Tongji University next door? And you're from the women's department, right?"

"Call me Giegie, make Giegie happy, and Giegie will take you in."

If we make the term "the fox borrows the power of the tiger" concrete.

Then there is no doubt about it.

It must be the monkey Zhang Wenle’s current appearance!

Although Zhang Wenle is a well-deserved nobody in school, he is a marginal figure who can't even be promoted normally in grade.
But out of school
Does anyone know my background?
"Don't be unconvinced by Jiang Hai, you know? He is my sworn brother!" Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Monkey Zhang Wenle started to brag, "Thinking back to when I taught Jiang Hai how to write, if you really want to talk about it, Jiang Hai can be considered half of my junior brother."

You can’t believe that Zhang Wenle started to show off in public, leaving his classmates at the school gate stunned.

At this moment, Chengxi is in the school.

Jiang Hai's roommates, fat guy Yang Wei and muscle maniac Chu Tianjiao, are also accepting almost crazy interviews from domestic media.

Being interviewed is not uncommon.

But this matter was interviewed by CCTV.
That's really the first time in the history of the world!
"Student Yang Wei, what kind of person do you think your roommate Jiang Hai is?"

Facing the questions from the beautiful female reporter in front of him.

"Mom, I've made it. I can be on CCTV." Fatty Yang Wei was very excited. His face turned red and he kept repeating to himself, "I've also made it. I can be on TV."

"Classmate, I'm asking you," the beautiful reporter was obviously a little impatient, and deliberately raised her voice a few notes, "What do you think of your roommate Jiang Hai?"

As if he realized his own gaffe.

The fat man quickly cleared his throat and began to answer seriously:

"First of all, I think Jiang Hai is a very good person."

"Secondly."

"What's next?" the reporter asked.

"Secondly." The fat man was extremely excited, as if he couldn't control his emotions at all, "Secondly, I didn't expect that I would be able to be on TV one day???"

"Mom, did you see me? I'm Yang Wei, I'm Yang Wei."

Can you imagine a student under the CCTV camera?

Don't be shy about your privacy.

In front of the national audience, he roared excitedly:

"Mom, I'm impotent."

“I am impotent.”

Even the CCTV reporter, who is used to seeing big storms, couldn't help but be impressed by the boy's frankness:

"My friend, you are really brave."

All the teachers and students of the school gathered in the library of Chenghai Drama Academy, waiting solemnly.

That is under this circumstance.

Time passes minute by minute.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

A black-colored Red Flag sedan with the national flag on the front of the car was slowly driving towards the Chenghai Drama Academy under the gaze of everyone.

In front of this Hongqi car, there was a group of traffic police on horseback from the guard of honor leading the way.

The car drove into Chenghai Drama Academy.

Pass through the towering teaching buildings and stop steadily in front of the library.

The world's media is focusing on this.

Everyone's eyes began to converge towards the car.

The car door opens.

An old man wearing a white gauze hat and holding a scepter slowly got down from the Red Flag sedan.

Needless to say, this kind-faced old lady is naturally Queen Elizabeth, whose reputation is known both at home and abroad.

That was the next second when Queen Elizabeth got out of the car.

The rear door opened again.

A handsome man with yellow skin and a slightly elegant temperament got out of the car slowly.

This handsome face seemed so familiar to the teachers and students of Chengxi Academy present.

When he got off the Red Flag car.

At the scene, someone immediately started exclaiming:
"Look!"

"That is Jiang Hai"
