Brief introduction of Zhao Tailai.
Mr. Wang is the great-grandson of modern diplomat Wu, a famous British Chinese painter, collector, connoisseur and philanthropist. Zhao Tailai was born in a famous family in Dongguan. He is affectionately called "Uncle Chaoshan" in Chaoshan area and is the honorary president of Chaoshan Xinghe Award Foundation forever. Zhao Tailai was born in 1954. My ancestral home is Dongguan, Guangdong. He is an overseas Chinese living in Britain and a famous collector of cultural relics and artworks. He has been engaged in various cultural relics and artworks collection activities at home and abroad for more than 30 years, and has accumulated a large number of cultural relics such as China paintings and calligraphy, Thangka, ceramics and foreign handicrafts. He donated more than 60,000 cultural relics to the motherland, with a total value of more than 800 million yuan. He won the "2005 Outstanding Chinese World Award" with Jin Yong, Chen Xiangmei and others. Dr. Zhao Tailai, a well-known cultural relic collector, is a visiting professor and honorary doctor of philosophy at Hamilton University in the United States. Over the years, 60,000 cultural relics have been donated to the motherland for free, with a total value of more than 800 million yuan. He has served as honorary president of Motherland Publishing House, permanent director of Panyu Baomoyuan Economic Development Co., Ltd., overseas consultant of Beijing Xinhua Painting and Calligraphy Institute, permanent honorary president of Guangzhou Panyu Tourism Association, and senior art consultant of Beijing tang style Art Museum. He was awarded the Outstanding Chinese Award in 2005 and 2007, the Cultural Contribution Award of Friends of Jiangsu Province in 2003, the Top Ten Collectors in China in 2007, the Top Ten Outstanding People in China Heritage Protection in 2008, and the honorary citizens of Guangzhou, Panyu and Yancheng. 1969, Zhao Tailai, who lost his parents in the Cultural Revolution, went to his aunt's house in Hongkong. 15-year-old Zhao Tailai became a disciple of Zhao Shaoang. "1977, Menstruation secretly told Zhao Tailai that there was a batch of inheritance to be inherited by Zhao Tailai in Hongkong and Europe, and he repeatedly stated that he could not reveal a word to the outside world!" This mysterious legacy makes Zhao Tailai a little nervous.

During the period of 1979, Zhao Tailai accepted her aunt's inheritance in Hongkong, including tens of millions of yuan worth of real estate and two-story collection. Each of these collections has an extraordinary origin and value. When Zhao Tailai first saw them, he was stunned by their competition. My aunt immediately took out a treasure map and told Zhao Tailai where another treasure was in the suburbs of London, where there were more rare treasures.

198 1 year, my aunt died suddenly, and she never got married for those rare treasures at home. Zhao Tailai was told to go to England to accept his inheritance. There is a huge manor on the outskirts of London, which was purchased by the Zhao family more than 80 years ago. After the funeral, Zhao Tailai took the treasure map to the mysterious manor outside London. It took a lot of effort to find the entrance to the cellar in a secret place of the manor. Entering the dusty underground kiln, Zhao Tailai was once again stunned by the scene before him-countless wooden boxes were piled up, and the rotten box cover was opened to take out straw and cotton. It is full of priceless Gu Shuhua, ceramics, jade and bronzes ... Zhao Tailai doesn't know how big this cellar is and how many boxes of treasures it contains, but Zhao Tailai, who is good at appreciating cultural relics, knows that this dusty cellar is a splendid historical picture. Most of these treasures were collected by his great-grandfather Wu, who was the ambassador to the United States, Peru and other countries in the late Qing Dynasty. After the founding of the Republic of China, he served as chief justice, foreign minister and acting prime minister, and made outstanding achievements all his life. After three generations of continuous collection and supplement, the family collection has reached tens of thousands in the hands of Zhao Tailai.

Zhao Tailai didn't expect that in order to uncover the dusty history in the cellar, he had to work as a coolie for 10 years and become a "super beggar" living in a senior villa. In order to save the wealth left by his family, Zhao Tailai gave up his beloved painting career, moved to London in 1992, joined the UK and became an "underground worker". He was afraid to tell his beloved wife, let alone ask for help, for fear of death due to the leakage of news. He can only move the treasures out of the cellar one by one like ants every day, and he is so tired that he sweats every day. As more and more cultural relics move to their own residential villas, Zhao Tailai is afraid to hire nannies and security guards for fear of revealing secrets. In order to ensure the safety of cultural relics, Zhao Tailai kept four fierce hounds to protect these treasures.
