Lu Jiang, while pedaling the bicycle, said, "The waste station is full of assorted items, you must have found quite a few treasures this time. You’re asking me to guess, but I can’t figure it out. Did you find lots of valuable cultural relics and paintings again?"
"Yes, quite a lot indeed! Especially valuable, I reckon there were about twenty or thirty pieces. Just think about how many cultural relics and paintings in our county are about to face catastrophe; you can easily imagine how vast the destruction of cultural heritage is in the city and across the country!" Feng Qingxue sighed, "I don’t regret at all the little thievery I’ve done at the waste station. Today, I swiped several pieces of scrap metal and junk, avoiding that old man Huang Qingbai, but later, when selecting paintings, I couldn’t avoid him."
"Who is Huang Qingbai? Is he related to Mr. Huang Qinghong?" Lu Jiang inquired.
"I asked him the same thing when I heard his name, and it turns out they are cousins, and their relationship is quite good," said Feng Qingxue, still finding it somewhat unbelievable. "From what he said, Mr. Huang Qinghong is an expert in ancient culture for the cultural relics department in the Capital. It seems like he had a conflict with students who were destroying and burning relics in the name of protection, and as a result, he got labeled as a counter-revolutionary. And with the smashing of old culture and such reasons, he fell into misfortune and has disappeared. However, I didn’t tell him that Mr. Huang is in our production brigade."
Lu Jiang nodded, "To tell or not is for Mr. Huang Qinghong to decide."
"I think so too! It seems from Mr. Huang Qingbai’s words, that Mr. Huang Qinghong’s children have all disowned him, which is really pitiful," Feng Qingxue couldn’t help but sigh again, but then she perked up and said, "Today, I found a Fine-brush Ladies’ Picture by a teacher. Seeing the paintings we’ve saved, I only then realized how infantile my own skills are."
