Across the ocean, the British Museum.
There are many exhibits from all over the world on display here, and in the middle of a certain venue, a blue and white porcelain vase with azure peony patterns is sitting quietly in a glass display cabinet.
The light is soft.
The lines of the peony pattern flow smoothly and smoothly, attracting tourists who come and go to stop and praise.
But although there are many cultural relics from the same place around, the blue and white porcelain vase still feels lonely.
Because most of those tourists were unfamiliar faces with yellow hair and blue eyes, speaking a language it couldn't understand.
"It's so beautiful!"
"Amazing!"
"It's perfect!"
Although it could guess that these people were praising them, there was no joy in its heart. Instead, it felt endless loneliness.
This made it recall the past experiences in which it had been burned.
Knead the clay, draw the base, print the base, sharpen the base, glaze, draw the base, apply outer glaze, dig out the bottom, write the base, apply base glaze, install the glaze, fill the kiln, fire the kiln, start the kiln, etc...
Top craftsmen draw the outlines one stroke at a time.
Every process is treated with care.
Choose the weather for firing.
But as the war spread, it was snatched by a soldier and presented to the general.
Then it was taken away. After several rounds, its owner had experienced wealthy businessmen, politicians and even thieves, and finally ended up in the British Museum.
Until a person wearing glasses appeared, and it saw the light in the other person's eyes, but there were many such people when it was exhibited.
But then the man said softly to it in the glass display case: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you home."
It is just a piece of porcelain and cannot shed tears, but it feels that if it were a human being, it would definitely cry at this moment.
Then the man started negotiating with the British Museum.
No matter it’s windy or raining, the other party will come to the British Museum as usual.
And it also watched that person gradually change from exquisiteness to vicissitudes of life.
When a man comes, he will sometimes lie down on the glass display cabinet and admire every detail of its body.
Sometimes I would use books here to compare and guess which dynasty it came from, which emperor it came from, which craftsman it was, and under what conditions it was made.
Hearing this, it really wanted to tell the other party loudly: "I was born 723 years ago. The master craftsman who made me was called Tao Wen. It happened to be raining on the day I was fired. No, it was Tao Wen who made me. I chose that day for firing. The friend next to me who has the same color as me but has a white and blue koi printed on the bottom of the bowl was only born three months later than me. I really want to go home. You can really take me back. Home?"
But it cannot be said, because it is just a piece of porcelain.
In the end, the person's negotiation failed because the matter was too complicated. He wanted the British Museum to return the cultural relics, and even had to go through Parliament.
"I'm sorry, I can't take you back."
The man looked equally lonely.
And it looked at the man, and this time it didn't think of blaming him, because it saw everything the man did.
But not long after, things took a turn for the better again.
In addition to cultural relics from China like this, the British Museum also has cultural relics from dozens of countries, large and small, and those countries have also begun to request the British Museum to return them.
The man stood up again and began to lead people from those countries to exert pressure in various ways. During this period, the man was injured and assassinated, but in the end they succeeded.
As the wooden hammer struck, a seal was also stamped on the paper.
"I can finally go home."
"Listening to them, my hometown has become very good now, and I have many brothers and sisters there."
This reminded him of the afternoon he was fired.
Everyone in the house was amazed by its beauty. It was raining outside, hitting the banana leaves. The green banana leaves were constantly trembling, complementing the lion door knocker in the distance that had developed green patina.
It remembers that day as beautiful.
Riding on the ship, it finally returned to its homeland. There were many people here who were happy because of its return. Most of those people were like that man, with a strong bookish atmosphere in their whole person, but when they looked at His eyes were full of enthusiasm.
"This is where I belong, I should belong to this land!"
On the night after returning, it was quietly placed in the exhibition cabinet, only this time it was surrounded by its brothers and sisters.
Suddenly there was a thunderous explosion outside.
It's raining.
The rain continued until the afternoon of the next day.
As the sky gradually cleared up, the sky washed by the night rain bloomed into a beautiful cyan color.
The sky that has rained will always be exceptionally clear.
The mist that blocked the bright moon at night was gradually blown away by the wind, hanging high in the sky, and the bright white moonlight shone in through the window.
A stage light was cast around it.
Just like the night it was fired.
…
After the short film ended, the list of directors, production staff and actors began to roll.
The name of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" also appears on the back, including the names of all the musicians who have participated in the production of "Blue and White Porcelain".
Waiting until the end, two lines of words appeared on the screen.
"The content of the story is adapted to a certain extent based on reality."
"I would like to dedicate this film to Mr. Zhao Tailai and all people from all walks of life who have contributed to the return of cultural relics lost overseas."
…
The MV is made of animation, and the production team is also the top animation production team in China. From the script to the screen, it has gone through countless revisions day and night.
At this moment, paired with the song "Blue and White Porcelain", everyone who watched it was moved by it.
Diving Fish: "There's nothing to say, Mr. Dayi, I'll give you one first."
Sasia's smile: "The animation is so well done and the songs are so well written. After watching it, I don't even know when I burst into tears."
Hoe Malone: "Those shameless thieves, please return all the cultural relics of our country immediately, they are our treasures!"
He paused slightly: "But "Blue and White Porcelain" was also written by Gu Yi?"
"It looks a bit fake. I feel more and more that there must be an expert behind Gu Yi. I have cooperated with so many big guys this time. Maybe this expert is hidden among these big guys."
Finally, he repeated: "Look at what you said, I am not related to Gu Yi, so why are you doing this for Gu Yi?"
"You are too young. Capital can defeat everything."
Wu Yaoyao: "What you said is completely blasphemy against those masters. For those with a heart, everything is dirty."
bilyboy: "They say people with dark eyes and yellow skin who can understand me are my family."
Zhuyi Fei: "Welcome home."
Blade Dark Night: "No Chinese can walk out of the British Museum with a smile..."
This short film exploded as soon as it was released.
Gu Yi also exploded at the same time.
