Ma Weidou praised it. What did this Japanese woman do?

China has a vast territory, rich natural resources and countless cultural types and artworks. At the same time, in ancient China, there was a war every once in a while because of the change of dynasties. In modern times, the invasion of China by British and French allied forces and Japan led to the destruction of Yuanmingyuan, the pearl of China's first garden world. During the long period of suffering, China lost a lot of cultural property, and hundreds of thousands or more cultural relics were lost overseas. Since then, their whereabouts have been unknown. Over the years, with the continuous improvement of the country's comprehensive national strength, Chinese people have paid more and more attention to the recovery of cultural relics, but there are always obstacles. Many people take the opportunity to plunder and drive up prices, and countries or individuals can only buy back their cultural relics at high prices.

Hilmi donated cultural relics by Yuko.

It's good to buy it back. The biggest fear is that you can't buy it back even if you have money. Few of China's art treasures exhibited abroad have gone abroad cleanly, but they are regarded as rare national treasures in other countries and even prohibited from being exhibited abroad. The day of returning to China is completely far away. The famous animal head of Yuanmingyuan, because the gambling king Stanley Ho bought two pieces at a high price, the only rat head and rabbit head as gifts were specially bought by the Pino family in France and returned to China for free, because they didn't like people who fish in troubled waters. This is really admirable. For China, there are countless cultural relics in China, but few people have returned them.

And the Japanese woman, but let a person sincerely admire, even Ma Weidou also greatly praised. What did this Japanese woman do? Who is she? Ma Weidou is the founder of the first private museum in China, and a Japanese woman named Miyuko Yamayama is not only the richest woman in Japan, but also the founder of Miyuki Art Museum, the largest private art museum in Japan. She once donated a precious stolen cultural relic to China, a Buddha statue in the Northern Wei Dynasty. And this bodhisattva statue is her treasure. At the beginning, in order to buy this statue of Bodhisattva, Miyuko Yamayama specially spent a whole 1 10,000 dollars, just to be exhibited at the opening of the Art Museum.

Collections in art museums

What many people don't know is that this stone statue of Bodhisattva in the Northern Wei Dynasty was stolen from the cultural center of Boxing County, Shandong Province, China. At one time, museums and art galleries in China were often stolen. This is the cultural relic stolen from 1994. There has been no news since it was stolen that year. When National Cultural Heritage Administration found its trail, it had been bought back by Miyuki Mountain. So our country sent experts to Japan to negotiate with Miyuki Mountain. What I thought was difficult was solved perfectly twice. Miyuko Yamashita actually agreed. Her only request is that the Buddha statue can be exhibited in Meixiu Art Museum 10 years, even if it is borrowed 10 years.

A Japanese Worth Remembering —— Miyuko Hill

After the expiration of 10 year, Miyoko Yamashita really returned the stone Buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Shandong Museum. In order to express his gratitude, this stone Buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty is exhibited in Meixiu Art Museum every five years. At that time, Mr. Ma Weidou's original words were: The only Japanese woman willing to return the top cultural relics in China deserves admiration! And the designer of this beautiful art museum is also very famous. He is I.M. Pei! World-class architects designed an art gallery full of China classical charm for her.

Meixiu Art Museum returned the Northern Wei Buddha statue free of charge and signed a contract.

Yamayama Miyuko loves and pursues beauty, likes the culture of China, likes all the beautiful things, and is willing to perfect the beauty to the extreme, so she is willing to return the Bodhisattva statue carved in the Northern Wei Dynasty to China. However, donation is not easy, which many people can't do. At the beginning, even China wanted to get it back, which was not so easy, because she bought it from a regular place, and the laws of each country were different. But she didn't hesitate to take it for herself, chose perfection, and readily agreed. Her kindness will be remembered by more people, and Meixiu Art Museum has a deeper relationship with China.
