| Story Behind the
Priceless Vessel |
|
| At the end of 1995, the head of the Shanghai
Museum, Ma Cheng Yuan, came across a priceless bronze vessel
in an antique shop in Hong Kong. On the vessel, were inscriptions
that led Ma to deduce that the vessel came from a royal Chinese
lineage. |
| |
| Adamant that the vessel not be lost to
the Chinese, Ma started a campaign to rally for funds required
to purchase the highly priced piece of history. When H.E. Ambassador
Eric Hotung heard of his efforts to preserve a piece of China's
history, he made short work of the matter and the vessel soon
found its way to the Shanghai Museum. |
| |
| In 1996, H.E. Ambassador Eric Hotung,
a dedicated patron of the preservation of Chinese heritage,
donated a large sum of money towards the construction of the
"Hotung Pavilion". After its completion, Eric Hotung
was invited to personally place the vessel he had salvaged in
its new resting place in the pavilion's newly furnished hall. |
