The Great Thief

Dong Qi, nicknamed "Dong Guzhi", opened a "Mengguzhai" antique shop, but he knew little about the identification of antiques and jade. The "Coffin Lid of Cixi", "Yuan Datou" and the "Jade Zhang" claimed to be unearthed from the Jinsha site that he purchased at a high price were all confirmed to be fakes by antique connoisseurs, and he cursed and swore that he would never do antique business again. A beggar mother-in-law came to him for alms. He was surprised to find that the Tuba bowl in her hand was actually a Jun kiln lotus bowl from the Song Dynasty. He bought it without hesitation and made a fortune. He heard that the jade business was profitable, so he bought a large stone in Ruili, but he was deceived again. Two American paleontologists discovered rare "trilobite" ancient fossils on the stone, and bought the unextracted jade stone for US$50,000. Dong Gugu survived the desperate situation. The Wenchuan Earthquake broke the antique jades in the store, and he became pauper again. In a large vase, he found 200,000 yuan and some US dollars. Dong Gucu knew the origin of the vase and understood that it was an ill-gotten gain, so he immediately donated the money to the disaster area. This moved all the merchants, and everyone enthusiastically donated money and materials. A touching scene was staged in the antique market.
