Introduction to "Liu Li Mask"
After Lin Chongming returned to China, he became a well-known philanthropist in China with a legendary huge overseas inheritance. He donated money to poor families, helped the sick, and frequently donated antiquities to cultural and museum institutions. The media rushed to pursue him and everyone praised him. But under the aura of prosperity, rumors have never stopped: the strict inheritance tax in the United States has called into question the authenticity of the source of wealth. There are whispers that his original capital came from decades of transnational cultural relics trading across China and the United States.
Su Jian, a cultural relic inspection cadre, was keenly aware of many doubts and secretly launched a long investigation. A layer of gorgeous philanthropic barrier stands in front of them, making it difficult to obtain evidence. At the same time, conflicts arise within the smuggling network, middlemen who hold secrets are in constant fear, and partners on the other side of the ocean are also beginning to weigh their own protection.
As clues are peeled away layer by layer, cracks in the heritage myth gradually appear, and offshore trusts, gray channels of auction houses, and trading chains of lost cultural relics emerge one by one. On the one hand, there are countless grateful deeds of kindness by the recipients, and on the other hand, there is the irreparable pain of the loss of cultural relics. When the mask finally shatters, everyone must face the cost of their choices. This is a long-lasting pull between conscience and desire. Glitz is as fragile as glass, but the regrets left by history cannot be easily dissipated.
