I walked along river, passed the bridge, saw the london eye, then I went to the china town. When I saw the foreign citizens of Chinese origin, saddness in my heart, they are not chinese forever, and their faces are not chinese, too. I am confused why this street called Tang Ren Jie, and they have been obviously different from Chinese.
I went through the Trafalgar Square, and finally I came to the British Museum. To my astonished, I saw many statues and collections from every corne of the world in the museum. I saw many mummies in the Egypt gallery.The chinese collections are shown at Room 33.
Plenty of items which were robbed from Africa and China are shown to the visitors! I think that they must be returned to the original owner and appologize to the victim!
There's a continuing debate about some of these items, and whether they should continue in the British Museum or be repatriated.
回复删除Perhaps you could do some research and prepare a presentation on this issue? Or publish your research in your blog, with links?
Most of the debate centres on Ancient Greek statues called in the popular press the Elgin Marbles.
Please speak to one of your teachers if you need any help with this.
