Anti-Grave Robbing: The National Treasures Task Force

Told from the first-person perspective of a criminal investigator specializing in cultural relics, this story follows a case involving counterfeit and genuine bronze artifacts. The National Treasures Task Force scales mountains and crosses seas, matching wits with tomb raiders and foreign spies. Step by step, they foil traitors' plans to smuggle cultural relics across borders and use antiques, calligraphy, and paintings to conduct covert influence operations, faithfully safeguarding the countless treasures buried beneath the earth and the brilliance of Chinese civilization.

National treasures belong to the country, but they also belong to every one of us. They should not be torn from the homes where they sleep in peace, awakened by tomb raiders and forced to bid farewell to their homeland in anguish. They should not be smuggled illegally and reduced to pitiful playthings in foreign lands. They are stolen children, weeping day and night. They are also descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor exiled overseas, beginning a difficult journey home.

Don't be afraid, children. I'll take you home.
