: 271 Stein and Wang Yuan?

This time, the British royal family eagerly hoped to get the opportunity of "Mona Lisa" (Part 3) in exchange for the Chinese national treasure and part of the Dunhuang scrolls and scriptures.
Otherwise, how could some of the Dunhuang scrolls and scriptures from that Chinese national treasure and the British royal collection be easily obtained!
Of course, the Louvre also has gains.
The Louvre used 142 pieces of the Louvre, which have not been exhibited. The Chinese cultural relics that have been in the treasure house for more than 100 years were exchanged for 47 European famous paintings by Chen Rui.
Although, for Berne Hakan, it is very regrettable that the French "national treasure" "Mona Lisa" (Part 3) has not been exchanged with the "Mona Lisa" and "Last Supper" The world famous painting "Three Kings Worship".
However, it can be regarded as a very great gain.
In exchange for Chen Rui's 47 famous European paintings, there are some famous paintings by Picasso, Paul Cezanne, Chagall, Van Gogh, Gauguin, etc.
The pay was only due to politics and fear of being taken back by China. For more than a hundred years, he has been hiding in various treasure rooms, and it is inconvenient to display 142 Chinese cultural relics.
It can be said that each of them is happy.
