The mystery of the night district of 3000 billion in the mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi: China can't recover it!

True to her will, a shining night pearl, the size of an egg, was placed in the mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi as she lay in the coffin. But this pearl was soon taken away by the warlord Ton Dien Anh when he looted Thanh Dong Tomb in 1928.

Empress Dowager Cixi (1835 - 1908) was a powerful woman in Chinese history. She was in power for nearly half a century in the late Qing Dynasty. The authority even surpasses the 'son of heaven'. Her Dinh Dong mausoleum is larger than that of her husband Emperor Ham Phong and son Emperor Dong Tri.

The amount of wealth and treasures buried with this famous empress dowager is said to be extremely large, worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver. In the book "Ai Nguyet Hien's pen" by Ly Lien Anh, a close eunuch of Empress Dowager Cixi, there are also clear and specific records of the quantity, location, type and value of objects depending buried in her tomb.

In her collection, the queen's favorite is an extremely rare nightingale. This glowing jewel is as clear as Crystal, emitting a spectacular green light. In her treasure, there are many rare and precious treasures, but this night pearl is considered the most precious, second to none. This night pearl is spherical, with a mass of about 787.28 carats (more than 157 grams). In 1908, this night pearl was valued at 10.8 million taels of silver, equivalent to 810 million yuan today (nearly 3,000 billion VND).

Before her death, Empress Dowager Cixi had a wish to put this night pearl in her mouth. Therefore, the meaning of the pearl becomes more precious and special. However, after Cixi's tomb was stolen, the nightingale was scattered everywhere. It was later discovered that it was sold by Tong My Linh, wife of Chiang Kai-shek to an American tycoon.

Historically, collecting royal treasures has aroused the greed and covetousness of many people. Despite the powerful political and military might of the Qing royal family, grave robbers still attempted to steal this treasure. Rumor has it that Empress Dowager Cixi's remains were targeted by thieves and the nightingale became the target.

However, the grave robbers also knew that Thanh Dong Lang did not break in easily. So thieves can only stand from afar longing. Until a famous thief named Ton Dien Anh appeared, he was not afraid of heaven, not afraid of earth and decided to discover the mystery inside this tomb.

Sun Dien Anh and his men are not professional grave robbers. They used brutal methods to open all the treasures mercilessly. However, when he broke into the tomb of Tu Hi, Ton Dien Anh was not attracted to gold, silver and jewels. He only paid attention to the legendary night pearl.

Ton Dien Anh began to search for the whereabouts of Da Minh Chau, searching every grave and nook. Finally, he managed to reach Cixi's tomb and pry open her mouth. Ton Dien Anh was mesmerized by the bright blue light of the nightingale pearl. He stared at the jewel as if he saw a mythical treasure.

The bright jewel in Ton Dien Anh's hand radiated a seductive power, making us intoxicated with boundless excitement and joy. However, he was also aware of the danger of this shining jewel. Once the news spreads out, it will attract a lot of greedy tellers. So Ton Dien Anh started looking for the right way to deal with this treasure.

After thinking for a long time, Sun Dien Anh thought of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, Tong My Linh. For Sun Dien Anh, Chiang Kai-shek is a very important figure and Tong My Linh is a woman of special status. If he gave this precious gem to the couple, he would not only give Chiang Kai-shek a great gift, but also leave a deep gratitude in Tong My Linh's heart. Therefore, Ton Dien Anh decided to give the night pearl to Tong My Linh.

Seeing the night pearl, Tong My Linh was indeed overwhelmed by its beauty. She stared as if absorbed in the shimmering light, feeling the bright charm it radiated. So, Tong My Linh decided to wear a jewel inlaid on one of her shoes to shine on stage while dancing.

The shoes inlaid with night pearls have become the symbol of Tong My Linh, which, according to her, attended many different occasions, making every woman jealous. The night pearl shines at her feet, becoming a testament to her noble status.

But this night pearl not only represents the status and wealth of Tong My Linh, it is also a historical witness. The jewel once belonged to Empress Dowager Cixi and accompanied her throughout her life, symbolizing the ups and downs of the times. Tong My Linh wears jade-encrusted shoes that carry the emotions and meaning of this historical period.

During a speech, Tong My Linh met John Rockefeller, an oil tycoon from the US. This businessman was quickly attracted by the glowing night pearl on Tong My Linh's shoes. He inquired about its origin and was shared by Tong My Linh.

John Rockefeller quickly expressed his ambition to get the pearl, Tong My Linh ended up exchanging it for a lot of money and weapons. Later, the night pearl was the pride of the Rockefeller family. Whenever someone came to visit, he was always proud to show it off.

Later, the Chinese government made many efforts to recover this nightingale because it is an important heritage in the country's history and culture. However, the Rockefeller family insisted that it was their family property and could not be relinquished. To this day, the nightingale is still kept by the Rockefeller family, and strict safeguards are taken to ensure it can remain in their hands forever.
