More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas,
lost of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times
of war before 1949. About 1.67million pieces are housed in more than 200
museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese
cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in
the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more
than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought
for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them
back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government.
Also the government can turn to official channels to demand the return of
relics.
In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was
returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied
Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur (企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back
from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing. Although
buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures,
limited funding is always a big headache.
In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover
the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project
on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database (数据库) collecting
relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many
countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to
recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.
