The man who found this pair of stone fish from the folk is Liu Yang. 26-year-old, member of the Academic Committee of China Yuanmingyuan Society. Speaking of the story of the stone fish returning, Liu Yang said with emotion that the stone fish was discovered because of a glimpse when the courtyard door was opened.
Pass by twice and lock the Yuanmingyuan stone fish.
It was four or five years ago that Liu Yang happened to pass by the gate of a yard in Xidan. Because it is a private residence, the normally closed door has just been opened. Liu Yang turned his head and saw a pair of white marble fish in the door. Liu Yang, a history student, realized that it might be a long time ago, so he remembered it in his mind.
Later, when Liu Yang was looking through old photos, two old photos of Dashuifa taken by foreigners in the 1920s reminded him of the "glimpse" of that year. This is a book called18th Century Jesuits' Investigation of Yuanmingyuan Project, which was compiled and published according to Mr. Lamitiye Feiteiro's memory of his younger brother Maurice Adam. It is recorded in the book: In the 1920s, when working in China Customs, Maurice Adam personally visited Yuanmingyuan, collected a large number of documents and pictures about the West Building of Yuanmingyuan, and personally took a large number of photos of the remains of the West Building, recording the existence of stone fish in Dashuifa Scenic Area before the destruction of Yuanmingyuan, which is the only photo of stone fish at present.
Later, when Liu Yang passed the house again, it seemed to be a kind of fate, and the door just opened again. Liu Yang, who had a camera with him, didn't dare to say his true identity. He only said that he was "personally interested" and squatted beside the stone fish and took photos. Come back with a picture of Morris Adam, exactly the same. "But the base for putting the stone fish is not original, because the stone fish in the Dashui method is mouth-down, hanging and spitting water. Maybe I took a hand and copied a base from other places. "
