National Treasures Collected by American Libraries
This man is Weng Wange, a five-generation descendant of Weng Tonghe.

He has a large collection, and it is hard to find a thousand dollars now, but he is not satisfied at all, so he bought a thousand miles of mountains and rivers with four million and two thousand pieces of silver.

But if you visit our museum in China, you will find that these exhibits are not the most amazing, but also donated by his descendants. A Thousand Miles Map can only be seen in American museums, and it was donated by Weng Wange himself. When Weng Wanghua was two years old, he had already got all his grandfather's collections. At the age of twenty, I went to study in the United States and settled in the United States. When I was a child, I also developed a hobby of collecting antiques because of the influence of my family, so I cherished my family's collections very much. Twenty years ago, the Shanghai Library sent someone to talk with Weng Wanghua, and then spent $4.5 million to buy a rare book that originally belonged to China. 18, in order to celebrate his centenary birthday, he voluntarily donated 183 collections to the United States. Among them, painting 130, calligraphy 3 1, embroidery 4 and rubbings 18. In stark contrast to the above facts, it is regrettable. If China wants it back, he has to buy it back at a high price. At first, China didn't understand that it was a cultural relic of our country and should not be collected in other countries, but Weng Wanghua ignored it. Some people think that he did this because he has lived in the United States for so many years and has long regarded himself as an American. After all, he has been in the United States for almost a hundred years, and his identity with American culture has long been formed, so this is acceptable. I don't think a person can forget what blood is flowing in his body. He should have certain responsibilities and obligations to do things for the country. Nowadays, cultural development is very important. We should do our part for the country and have a sense of cultural identity.
