  • 0:00 - 0:02
    What is this?
  • 0:02 - 0:03
    a treasure
  • 0:03 - 0:05
    you want me to appraise it
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    no, to buy it
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    I see. let me take a look
  • 0:09 - 0:10
    okay, I'll open it for you
  • 0:10 - 0:12
    it's a...
  • 0:12 - 0:13
    don't touch it
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    I'll put it there for you
  • 0:16 - 0:18
    ok
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    a Buddha statue
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    Highly accomplished monk
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    I see
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    It seems that it has an influential backing
  • 0:26 - 0:27
    sure
  • 0:27 - 0:29
    you must know Henan Shaolin Temple
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    we are all from Henan
  • 0:31 - 0:32
    yeah
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    the highly accomplished monk from Henan Shaolin Temple
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    took it out
  • 0:37 - 0:39
    you mean
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    it's from Shaolin Temple
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    During the chaos of war in the Republic of China.
  • 0:45 - 0:46
    you know
  • 0:46 - 0:48
    many people could not afford food
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    Shaolin Temple didn’t have any money to buy food
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    That monk was too hungry to walk
  • 0:53 - 0:55
    then he went to our house
  • 0:55 - 1:00
    my great grandpa was famous for his kindness
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    My ancestor provided him with accommodation
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    he said it was gold
  • 1:06 - 1:07
    gold
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    yeah
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    quite heavy
  • 1:10 - 1:11
    Why is it gold?
  • 1:11 - 1:15
    you mean this yellow stuff is gold
  • 1:15 - 1:16
    no
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    you got it wrong
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    During the chaos of war, everyone was poor
  • 1:21 - 1:26
    he had a golden figure of Buddha and was afraid it would
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    be snatched so he painted it red
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    I see. yeah, there is red paint
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    It's gold inside
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    I see
  • 1:36 - 1:40
    my ancestor gave him food for half a month
  • 1:40 - 1:41
    the monk said
  • 1:41 - 1:43
    my ancestor was related to Buddha
  • 1:43 - 1:46
    and he should do more good deeds
  • 1:46 - 1:48
    he gave it to my ancestor
  • 1:48 - 1:51
    your great grandpa
  • 1:51 - 1:54
    my ancestor is a lay disciple
  • 1:54 - 1:55
    lay disciple
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    he can get married and have children
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    and hair
  • 2:01 - 2:02
    yeah
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    he named my ancestor
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    Finally the monk left
  • 2:07 - 2:09
    without this Buddha statue
  • 2:09 - 2:12
    it has been enshrined in your home
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    my ancestor dares not take it out
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    so he buried it underneath
  • 2:17 - 2:18
    prevent it from being robbed
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    yeah, if they know we have a gold Buddha statue
  • 2:20 - 2:25
    Why are you selling it?
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    finally I got it
  • 2:28 - 2:31
    your grandpa got it from him
  • 2:31 - 2:32
    your father got it from you
  • 2:32 - 2:35
    it has been passed down for several generations
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    wealth doesn't pass three generations
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    I am a prodigal son squandering the family fortune
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    you have no money
  • 2:42 - 2:43
    and want to sell it
  • 2:43 - 2:46
    how much do you think it is worth?
  • 2:46 - 2:49
    How much do you want to sell it for?
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    just 3 million
  • 2:51 - 2:52
    3 million
  • 2:53 - 2:55
    the gold is worth 3 million
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    yeah, I can't hold it with a hand
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    at least 20 catties of gold
  • 3:00 - 3:01
    20 catties of gold
  • 3:01 - 3:04
    it's ancient
  • 3:04 - 3:07
    look, here is a scratch
  • 3:08 - 3:10
    it's worn out
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    it must be yellow if it's made of gold
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    you are confused
  • 3:14 - 3:16
    You are not as professional as a layman like me
  • 3:16 - 3:18
    let me tell you
  • 3:18 - 3:22
    this is the base
  • 3:23 - 3:25
    it's made of Xinjiang nephrite
  • 3:25 - 3:26
    which is sterling
  • 3:26 - 3:28
    the nephrite is fake now
  • 3:28 - 3:30
    don't worry
  • 3:30 - 3:34
    you mean the base is made of nephrite
  • 3:34 - 3:35
    yeah
  • 3:35 - 3:36
    what's this?
  • 3:37 - 3:40
    it's gold
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    this is nephrite and this is gold.
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    Yes, gold inlaid with jade
  • 3:45 - 3:48
    I am not a fool
  • 3:48 - 3:53
    nephrite, gold and gold inlaid with jade
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    I can't buy it
  • 3:55 - 4:02
    you'd better ask someone who specializes in
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    bronze statue and gold statue to identity it
  • 4:05 - 4:07
    I don't specialize in it
  • 4:08 - 4:10
    It's heavy but I don't think it is gold
  • 4:10 - 4:13
    maybe I have bad eyes
  • 4:13 - 4:15
    When the conversation gets disagreeable
  • 4:15 - 4:16
    I am not related to it
  • 4:16 - 4:17
    to this Buddhist statue
  • 4:17 - 4:19
    pack it
  • 4:19 - 4:21
    it's from Shaolin Temple
  • 4:22 - 4:23
    It will appreciate in value greatly
  • 4:23 - 4:24
    ok
