I remember it. I watched the whole process of kowloon cup's theft and recovery. This process is a bit exciting. Yes 197 1. On March 25th, Romanian foreign guests visited China and stayed at Shanghai Hengshan Hotel. In the meantime, we took out kowloon cup's tableware for foreign guests. When an accompanying Romanian secretary saw kowloon cup's exquisite appearance, she became greedy and took advantage of others' inattention. I hid it in my briefcase and took it away. I found out that kowloon cup had been stolen. The security section of Hengshan Hotel and the police tried their best to check. Under the guidance of our beloved Prime Minister, kowloon cup was successfully recovered. The whole process from theft to recovery is less than 24 hours.
After the name kowloon cup, it first appeared in the Ming Dynasty. Jingdezhen burned a refined cup for Zhu Yuanzhang, and nine dragons were entrenched in the cup, which was lifelike. Zhu Yuanzhang named this cup "kowloon cup". During the reign of Kangxi, someone presented a good jade, and Emperor Kangxi made a jade kowloon cup according to the style of kowloon cup. Kangxi couldn't put it down, and it was said that it was stolen and recovered. The drama "Yang and the Three Thieves of kowloon cup"
From 65438 to 0958, according to the description and historical records of seeing Kangxi kowloon cup, several ancient porcelain experts in Jingdezhen successfully burned kowloon cup porcelain which was very close to Kangxi's original product after many experiments, so Shanghai Hengshan Hotel ordered a set of ***36 kowloon cup for entertaining distinguished guests, and the stolen kowloon cup mentioned at the beginning was one of them. At that time, when entertaining Romanian guests, Shanghai TV made a full video, excluding insiders.
In this way, this kind of thief's behavior, if you find someone to get it back directly, will inevitably hurt harmony. It was also during the special diplomatic period between the two countries. It happened that the Prime Minister was also entertaining Vietnamese guests at Hengshan Hotel. When he learned the cause and effect of kowloon cup's theft, he instructed him not to take it back directly, but to outwit him. So on the same day, he arranged a performance organized by Shanghai Opera Troupe for Romanian guests, during which there was a magic show, and three kowloon cup were put on the table. The magician has 1 hidden in his eyes, and there are only two left on the table. The magician said there was another one under the stage. He went straight to the Romanian staff, opened his briefcase and took back kowloon cup. Of course, the staff knows what's going on and can only play dumb. Then there was warm applause, and a perfect magic show was over.
