In 2026, at a Hong Kong auction, a Northern Song Dynasty Ru kiln azure glaze was sold for a sky-high price of 294 million. When the buyer inspected the goods, he discovered that there were three words hidden under the glaze on the bottom of the vessel that were difficult to read with the naked eye - "Wait for the sky to be green". Lin Wantang, a researcher at the Palace Museum, was invited to identify it, but found that these three words echoed her grandmother's last words, "Find the person who is waiting for you." Thirty-nine years ago, my grandmother was accidentally injured while doing archaeology at Qingliang Temple in Henan Province. Her memory was confused. She only remembered finding a fragment of a Ru kiln with inscriptions on it. Freelance appraiser Shen Linyuan appeared, and he happened to have a fragment engraved with "Waiting for Old Friends" in his hand. Two cultural relics and six words point to a secret that has been sealed for nearly a thousand years - the legendary "Azure Treasure", and an answer that has been waiting for nine hundred years. But when the truth gradually emerged, they found that they had been involved in a cultural relic game that spanned three generations. Japanese collecting families, antique dealers during the Republic of China, and cultural relics lost during the Anti-Japanese War, all clues point to the same end point. "Waiting for the blue sky, waiting for old friends." This is a letter that has never been delivered, and it is also an agreement that has been waiting for a thousand years.
