A video series, Escape (逃跑) from the British Museum, was released (上映) on August 30th, 2023. It has caused hot discussions in China’s social media recently.
Two Chinese vloggers made the video series. It tells the story of how a Chinese cultural relic (文物) escapes from the British Museum and finds its way back to China. In the video series, a woman vlogger plays the role of an ancient Chinese jade teapot. Her partner is a reporter who helps the jade teapot return to China.
The videos were inspired by an Internet friend. He suggested making a video to record the hard way of Chinese cultural relics returning home from the UK to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year. ________ The story is about historic facts and aims to draw attention to the Chinese cultural relics that were held abroad (海外).
The success of the series led to calls for the return of Chinese cultural relics from the British Museum. It is reported that the British Museum has a total of 23,000 Chinese relics. About 2,000 Chinese relics are on long-term show. The Chinese objects, from the New Stone Age to the present, include paintings, prints, jades and so on.
For long, the British has said that the cultural relics are safer and better protected at the British Museum, to refuse their return. But the British Museum was reported to have lost some cultural relics. The news shocked the world and many countries asked the British Museum to return the cultural relics. Hope these cultural relics can return home as soon as possible!
