There were 12 bronze (青铜) animal heads at the European style (风格) in Old Summer Palace
(Yuanmingyuan)-Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
They were made into fountain (喷泉) and would take turns spouting water every two hours to tell time.
But the heads were looted (抢) by French and British soldiers in 1860 during the Second Opium War
(鸦片战争).
Until now, Pig, Ox, Monkey, Tiger and Horse have returned to China. But Rat and Rabbit beads were
auctioned (拍卖) for $17.92 million each. Luckily, Cat Mingchao, a Chinese collector won the auction,
but he said he would not pay the money. Why? He said they were looted from China and he is a Chinese.
"We will use international and Chinese laws to get the two beads to return to China in all necessary ways,"
said Ouyang. However, there are still five bronze heads (Dragon, Snake, Sheep, Rooster, Dog) are unknown
now.
An online survey, by Le Figaro newspaper, showed that more than 80 percent people said the bronze heads
should be returned to China, the Europe Daily reported on Wednesday. We should understand why they want
the two bronzes back…Just think about how they came to France.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
