Chapter 457 Convention is not omnipotent
Even some tourists watching the fun couldn't bear to listen to the middle-aged man's words.
A boy who looked like a college student said: "Who doesn't want to let those cultural relics go home? You said it lightly..."
A fat aunt also rolled her eyes and said, "You are so capable, why don't you go abroad and snatch those cultural relics back?"
When the middle-aged woman saw that a woman of her own age was "bullying" her husband, she immediately stopped and said, "None of your business! There are many of you and we are bullying, right?!"
The fat aunt curled her lips, "Who bullied you? Stop biting people everywhere like a mad dog!"
"You are a mad dog when you step on a horse! Old bitch, don't let me tear your mouth apart!" The middle-aged woman rushed to the fat aunt and scratched her face.
"mom!"
Her daughter's face changed drastically, and she reached out to pull her mother, but she didn't.
Xiaoyu was also shocked. Is this quarrel going to turn into a fight? Then this matter will not end well!
She was anxious, and just as she was about to step forward to start a fight, she felt a figure beside her flicker, and someone rushed faster between the two middle-aged women.
When she looked closely, she saw that the person rushing over was the youngest and prettiest girl among her clients.
Su Xing was very fast, and he stepped in front of the fat aunt, and reached out to grab the middle-aged woman's wrist.
The middle-aged woman felt as if her wrist was clamped by iron pliers, unable to move at all.
Just as she was about to yell, Su Xing had already thrown her out, leaving the girl behind her just in time to catch her mother.
Su Xing said: "Okay, there's a limit to how much trouble there is, right? If you want to hurt anyone again, then call the police!"
Li Xinhe and Senior Brother Lu both looked proud: Junior Sister reacted so quickly!
At this time, the fat aunt leaned out half of her body from behind Su Xing, put her hands on her hips and said: "Yes! If you dare to do anything again, I will call the police and let the police arrest you! If you touch a hair on my head, I will make you pay! I will spoil you." What’s wrong!”
The middle-aged woman had an angry look on her face, but she didn't dare to step forward. Firstly, she didn't want to enter the police station, and secondly...she glanced at Su Xing. What kind of strength does this damn girl have? Why is it so painful to arrest someone? ?
When the middle-aged man heard the word "call the police", he also yelled at his wife: "Can you stop being embarrassed?! Women are trouble!"
The middle-aged woman looked at her husband, feeling aggrieved: Who is she doing this for?
Su Xing looked around and brought the topic back, saying, "I know many people are wondering why it is so difficult for our cultural relics lost overseas to return home. In fact, there are currently two main conventions in the international community to recover cultural relics lost overseas. One is the Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property adopted by UNESCO in 1970.
Another is the Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects issued by the International Institute for the Unification of Laws in 1995. However, the convention is not omnipotent. It does not trace the lost cultural objects before the convention came into effect. This also allowed some foreign museums to seize the loophole and refuse to return the cultural objects. "
She paused and continued, "If we want to bring back the cultural relics lost overseas, our country still has a long way to go. In fact, our country has been working hard to get them back to their homeland. In 2006, Denmark returned 156 ceramic burial objects from tombs stolen in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Shu provinces; in 2007, Italy returned 796 unearthed cultural relics illegally excavated and smuggled from my country...
So far, my country has successfully facilitated the return of more than 10 cultural relics lost overseas through law enforcement cooperation, judicial litigation, negotiated donations, rescue and collection, etc. However, compared with the total number of tens of millions of cultural relics lost overseas, the cultural relics recovered are only a drop in the ocean. I hope that one day, the cultural relics of Longmen Grottoes abroad can also return to the embrace of the motherland..."
The noisy environment just now became quiet again because of Su Xing's words.
Many people are angry and sad in their hearts.
As a docent who works with cultural relics every day, Xiaoyu felt even more deeply at this moment, and her eyes became red again.
Su Xing looked at the middle-aged man again, and said in a cold voice, "As for the uncle's other question, why don't you fill in the missing parts of the Buddha statues? That's because there are two important principles for cultural relics protection, one is to minimize intervention as much as possible, and the other is not to change the original state.
Artificially adding a Buddha head or other parts would destroy the integrity of the relics. Excessive intervention may change the original appearance and characteristics of the Buddha statue, and even have a great impact on its cultural value and historical significance. For these immovable cultural relics, it is most important to stop destroying them and protect them well. "
Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, the protection of cultural relics needs to be 'repaired as before, with minimal intervention'. To say that the scenic spot does nothing? That is really unfair to our scenic spot! In fact, we carefully repair and protect these precious cultural relics every year , our restoration work mainly targets issues such as the control of water leakage in the grottoes and the reinforcement of dangerous rock masses. It is not the destructive repair of cultural relics as some people understand!"
Li Xinhe also sneered, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Some people also say that the scenic spot is greedy for money? It's true that most of the income from the scenic spot must be handed over to the official finance!"
Senior Brother Lu nodded and agreed, "It is illegal to spread rumors!"
The middle-aged couple was jostled by several people until their faces turned blue, red, and white, like a palette.
Their daughter just felt tortured and couldn't stay here any longer.
Tears filled her eyes. She looked at her parents and said, "Are you leaving? If not, I will leave by myself!"
After she said this, she turned around and walked quickly down the mountain.
This trip was a nightmare for her! She never wants to take her parents on a trip again in her life...
"Hey!" The middle-aged woman shouted at her daughter's back, "Why are you throwing a tantrum? Slow down, wait for us..."
She yelled and chased in the direction of her daughter.
The middle-aged man no longer wanted to be watched by these people, and he quickly followed his wife and daughter.
However, he was still trying to make up for himself by blaming his daughter, "Today's young people don't know how to care about their parents at all, and they turn their elbows outward. They raised them so big in vain, and they are just white-eyed wolves..."
Some of the tourists watching the excitement felt a little sympathetic to the girl.
"With such parents, this girl is quite pitiful..."
"I feel suffocated for her..."
"Although my parents are not as weird as them, they still like to nag and complain, and they are reluctant to spend money on anything. It is very disappointing. I dare not take them out to play."
There are also some tourists whose attention is focused on Su Xing and the others.
The fat aunt asked Su Xing curiously, "My dear daughter, you are not very old, so you should still be in school, right? What are you studying?"
