The Adventures of Langya Carving Stone
About This Novel
The Langya Stone Carvings located in Qingdao, Shandong Province were erected by Qin Shihuang when he visited Langyata in 219 BC. They are hailed as "the supreme masterpiece" by epigraphers. In February 1938, when the Japanese army invaded Qingdao and approached Langyatai, the Japanese Emperor Hirohito learned of the importance of the carved stones and quickly sent a special envoy to snatch the Langyata carved stones. At the same time, both the Chinese Communist Party and Germany learned the secret through secret channels and sent personnel to search for the treasure. The elites of the three countries staged wonderful spy war stories one after another. In the end, the outstanding agents of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army went through many twists and turns and recaptured all the carved stones from the Kuomintang and the Japanese army. In January 1959, the carved stone was transferred to the China History Museum (now the National Museum of China), where it was preserved in a vacuum and not displayed to the public. It is now a treasure of the National Museum.
