What is the origin of Qiu Dekao in the notes of grave robbery?

Legend has it that China was not liberated at that time. In China, there is a foreign missionary named Cox Hendrick, whose Chinese name is Qiu Dekao, who works in a missionary school in Changsha. He was one of the Americans who came to China with the eastward tide at that time during the Kuomintang period.

This man is impure since he was a child, but he is very interested in the culture of China. Perhaps in the American economic concept, cultural relics are just one of the commodities, which can be bought and sold freely and exported naturally. So in the third year in China, he occasionally did some secret cultural relics smuggling activities, when he was only 19 years old.

1949 Changsha was liberated and the Kuomintang was completely defeated. Then 1952, the church began to leave China, and many Americans stranded in China began to return home. He also received a telegram from the church asking him to come back when it was safe.

Extended data:

Tomb-raiding notes can be said to be a novel with the theme of tomb-raiding, which is popular all over the country. Everything written in this novel is strange and mysterious, but the content is based on realistic archaeology and legends. As mentioned earlier, the prototype of the ancient jade box is the golden jade clothes of the Han Dynasty, and the sacred tree in Qinling is a bronze sacred tree unearthed from Sanxingdui site. In short, many cultural relics and ancient tombs are taken from reality.

Even the prototype of Qiu Dekao, one of the important figures, came from Cox, an American who came to China to sell smuggled cultural relics during the Republic of China. This man stole countless cultural relics in Changsha, among which an ancient cultural relic named Silk of the Warring States Period has now become a national treasure of Americans, which is undoubtedly the sorrow of China people.

As we all know, Changsha, Hunan invited many "Tufuzi" to help in the archaeological excavation of Mawangdui Han Tomb, and unearthed a large number of silk books and paintings, but these are all cultural relics of the Han Dynasty.

Then, a "Tufuzi" who participated in Mawangdui Han Tomb suggested re-excavating the Warring States Tomb in Changsha Ammunition Depot. It is called "re-archaeological excavation" because the tomb of the Warring States was stolen during the Republic of China. After re-excavation in the 1970s, two rare national treasures were unearthed, namely the Dragon and Phoenix Map and the Dragon and Royal Map.

These two silk paintings of the Warring States Period are the oldest scrolls in China. However, the archaeologists were not happy at all after excavating these two cultural relics in 1973, but were very depressed. This is not because of any changes in the archaeological process, but because archaeologists thought of a stolen cultural relic in this ancient tomb of the Republic of China.

This cultural relic is the oldest silk book in China. It is also one of the most important cultural relics in China during the Warring States period and a rare national treasure during the Warring States period. Unfortunately, because of the grave robbery, Cox, the prototype of Qiu Dekao in Tomb Robbery Notes, was smuggled into the United States. It is difficult to recover now, and it has become the national treasure of the Metropolitan Museum of America.
