"What!" he exclaimed.
"Is this something from the time when Yuanming Garden was burned down?"
"I've been to Yuanming Garden, but after I went, you have no idea how heartbreaking it felt. How many of our treasures were destroyed by those damned robbers!"
"Damn it, I wish I could go to their museums and take back those things that were taken from us."
"Right!"
This sentiment resonated with many people.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, especially those who had seen their cultural relics and national treasures in overseas museums. The heartache and gnashing of teeth was palpable.
They really wished they could just smash everything and bring the items back.
It was infuriating, to say the least.
"Despicable."
"I hope that one day... we can take back what belongs to us."
"No, it's when our strength is great enough that they'll send it back to us willingly."
"It's a pity. If only there had been more ships that sank back then."
