The Secret Battle of Emei

On the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1933, the situation in North China was critical, and the Palace Museum decided to transfer its collection of fine works to avoid the catastrophe of war. In the 15 years since then, nearly one million cultural relics from the Forbidden City have gone through hardships and traveled tens of thousands of kilometers from Beijing to Sichuan and Guizhou via Shanghai and Nanjing. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, they were gradually transported back to Nanjing. This majestic feat of safeguarding the cultural treasures of the Chinese nation is a great miracle created by the Chinese people to protect human cultural heritage under the brutal anti-fascist war environment.
