Korean Chen Lixin revealed in the legislative body that as one of the important museums in the world, three cultural relics were broken within two years, but the relevant person in charge ordered the concealment of this matter. As soon as the news came out, the island was indignant. Actor Li Liqun said on the short video platform that even if he, as an actor, would not have done such unprofessional things as smashing cultural relics. Writer Zhang Dachun also posted a complaint, requiring relevant persons to be responsible. Zhao Shaokang, chairman of China Guangxi, said that this is a world-class joke. The director of the museum, , Wu Micha, , should pay for his wealth.

The problems caused by poor management and lack of professionalism in Taipei in recent years are obviously not isolated cases. Some green camp civilians have also come out to criticize, such as the official website of the Forbidden City in Taipei, such as the mislabel of cultural relics. But after such a bad thing as destroying cultural relics, the person in charge of the Taipei Palace Museum actually thought that if no one reported it, he would "settle it privately". The calmness of deceiving superiors and hiding subordinates was indeed shocking. After triggering a surge of public opinion, Wu Micha admitted that three cultural relics were indeed damaged, but it can only be confirmed that one of the Ming Dynasty cultural relics "Green Yellow Glaze Green Colored Dragon Pattern Bowl" was accidentally broken when the relevant personnel moved out of the warehouse in May this year. The other two, one of the Qing Kangxi dark dragon white li small yellow porcelain bowls and the other one of the Qing Qianlong blue and white flower plates, were found to have been damaged during inspections in February last year and April this year. However, according to the monitoring investigations over the past decade, the cause of the damage was not found. The DPP’s National Genesis Gao Jiayu batch found to be damaged, but I don’t know how it happened, this is the problem. She questioned how many cultural relics there were in this situation. She also said that damage to cultural relics will not occur naturally, and there are records of every move and movement. If not found out, it will happen again and again in the future.

Three cultural relics were found to be damaged, all before the first half of this year. If it weren't for Chen Yixin's revelation, the Taipei Forbidden City would have been deceived. No wonder the outside world questioned that Wu Micha, the director of the Taipei Palace Museum, wanted to escape. In addition, the outside world estimates that the market value of these three cultural relics is as high as NT$2.5 billion (about NT$560 million). Since these cultural relics are not insured, the liability for compensation has also caused controversy. Wu Micha tried to downplay the responsibility. He said that after asking colleagues, they can refer to the number of market circulation. Although it is inconvenient to disclose the price, it is "absolutely far below NT$2.5 billion." He also said, "The value will definitely be reduced after the damage, but it is unknown how much it will be discounted." When asked about this, Su Zhenchang, Wu Micha's boss and head of the Taiwan administrative department, said that Wu Micha had mentioned it to him. However, regarding the so-called disposal opinions, Su Zhenchang said lightly, "In accordance with the professional treatment of cultural relics preservation." But where is the major?
Former President of the Palace Museum, Zhou Gongxin,
Former President of the Palace Museum, Zhou Gongxin, said that from a professional perspective, this porcelain damage incident is obvious that the professional training received by the staff holding the porcelain needs to be strengthened. Those who know the inside story criticized Wu Micha as the dean to control personnel and appoint a large number of students and acquaintances, but their majors are obviously not enough and their training is obviously not enough. In addition, the Taipei Forbidden City has been seriously short of staff in recent years, but Wu Micha did not replenish his staff in time. Serious shortage of manpower also indirectly leads to accidents of destroying cultural relics.
In addition to personnel, old equipment is also a problem. The Taipei Palace Museum, where these precious cultural relics are preserved, was built in the 1950s and 1960s. Whether in building space or internal technical facilities, there is a situation where there is a certain situation of being simple and simple. And due to various limitations, it is difficult to make fundamental improvements. In addition, the number of collections is huge, and it has not been able to achieve "one thing, one box" in packaging and storage for so many years, but "one box of more things".In addition, cultural relics extraction records are still relying on paper operations, and the registration information is complex and difficult to organize. When problems occur, it is difficult to trace the source as soon as possible to find out the cause. In short, these problems have been around for a long time and management is well aware of them, but they have not been solved.
Taipei Palace Museum
Taipei Palace Museum collects as many as 700,000 cultural relics and artworks. Most of them were collected by the Qing Dynasty royal family who moved to Taiwan with the defeated army of the Kuomintang at the end of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. They are recognized as the best among the best. In addition, some cultural relics returned by Japan after the end of Anti-Japanese War are also included. Of course, there are also donations from Chinese collectors at home and abroad over the years. The Forbidden City in Taipei collects many important artistic treasures and cultural masterpieces of the Chinese nation, which also shows the inseparable connection and ties between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in culture and history. Their importance is self-evident, and therefore it has attracted much attention from the outside world.
The Taipei Palace Museum has also played a very positive role in cross-strait exchanges. For example, in 2011, the Zhejiang Provincial Museum and the Taipei Palace Museum reached a consensus on the combination of " Fuchun Mountain Residence " (the "Remaining Mountain Residence" collected by Zhejiang Museum and the "Usual Teacher Volume" collected by Taipei Palace Museum), so that the famous work "Fuchun Mountain Residence" that has been separated from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait for more than 60 years was first exhibited on Baodao on June 1, 2011. In the eyes of everyone, this immortal painting that witnesses the same roots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and reflects the joys and sorrows of compatriots. With its historic "combination of mountains and rivers", it deeply inspires the common national sentiment of the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The cultural grandeur at that time is still touching.

In the realistic level, the Taipei Palace Museum has a very high administrative level on the island and is directly affiliated with the administrative agency on the island. The position of dean represents the status and achievements of the appointed person in the academic class. In the past, many academic masters on the island have served as the president of the Palace Museum in Taipei. However, with the second time the DPP came to power, the president of the Palace Museum in Taipei became the place where the DPP deployed its own troops. After 2000, all the presidents of the Palace Museum in Taipei were non-party members, with academic and management capabilities as the primary consideration. But as soon as Tsai Ing-wen came to power, she arranged for Chen Qinan and Wu Micha, a member of the DPP, as the dean of the DPP, making the Art Palace a place where the DPP remuneration for mediocrity. When Chen Qinan, who was the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party, vigorously cooperated with the Democratic Progressive Party's "de-Sinicization" and carried out the so-called "Taiwanization of the Forbidden City". He inexplicably claimed that the Taipei Forbidden City is a cultural "enclave" of the mainland, and advocated that the Taipei Forbidden City become a "Forbidden City for Taiwanese people" rather than a "Forbidden City in Beijing". At that time, public opinion on the island said that since Chen Qinan disliked Chinese culture so much and even cultural relics were "de-Sinicized", the national treasure of the Forbidden City should be returned to the mainland. Taiwan's United Daily News once reported that during Chen Qinan's tenure, the number of tourists from the Forbidden City in Taipei and the reputation of academic and artistic have both declined.
In 2019, Chen Qinan also proposed the "three-stage blueprint for completing the transformation of the Forbidden City", which was also entirely to cooperate with the DPP's rule and to boost the political achievements of the green camp's ruling counties and cities. He proposed to establish a branch and move important cultural relics to the central and southern part of the Democratic Progressive Party, and only books and documents were left in the Forbidden City in Taipei. Professor Su Hongda of Taiwan University, who recently ruled that Lin Zhijian's academic committee was invalid, posted a short video on social media at that time saying that the DPP authorities' policies such as "transformation of the Forbidden City, migration of all national treasures southward, and the construction of various Oriental museums permanently collected antiques in Taichung " were "to complete the cultural destruction of the Forbidden City before 2025."

As a result, the Taipei Palace Museum led by Chen Qinan appeared to have perfunctory so-called "clearance" of Professor Su's doubts, but a year later, the judicial department of the DPP authorities asked the Taipei City Nangang Branch to transfer Professor Su Hongda to the court for violating the social protection law and openly carried out judicial persecution.A few years later, the incident in which the green camp persecuted Professor Su Hongda was attacked by Lin Zhijian's thesis incident and alluded to Professor Su's "holding a grudge" and "may deal with injustice."
Chen Qinan later stepped down with Lai Qingte's step down. After a brief period of deputy director's agent, Wu Micha's "independence" color was even more than enough, and he was also regarded as a "Taiwan independence" thug that made the Taipei Palace Museum in line with Taiwan's subjective discourse. The Forbidden City in Taipei continues to become a tool for "cultural Taiwan independence". After Wu Micha retired from university in 2010, he participated in the "Taiwan independence" think tank founded by "independence tycoon" Gu Kuanmin, and spread "anti-China" remarks many times in movements such as textbook writing and anti-curriculum fine-tuning.
However, there has always been a paradox that cannot be solved by the "independence faction" on the island, that is, they are indifferent and deaf about any other things that vilify Taiwan and hurt Taiwan, except for the inexplicable "hate". The same is true for Wu Micha himself. For example, the TV series "Scarlo" adapted from the historical novel "Puppet Flower" will be released on the island in 2021. This TV series beautifies the American who really "sells the first person in Taiwan" in history (Li Xiande (Li Xiande defected to the Japanese government at that time, guided Japan to attack and occupy Taiwan, and played a very disgraceful role in the "Peony Society Incident" that killed the indigenous people on the island). This TV series has caused great controversy on the island. In theory, Wu Michaben is a scholar who studies local history and has studied Li Xian for many years, so he has the right to speak and has the obligation to clarify the origin of history. But he avoided the important and the facts, defended this absurd TV series, saying that "history can be performed by everyone."
In addition to the past position that attracted the attention of public opinion on the island, Wu Micha's professionalism in maintaining precious cultural relics and the team management ability of cultural resources protection has been more questioned. He even cooperated with the DPP authorities to "relegate" the Palace Museum in Taipei. In fact, in order to carry out the so-called "cultural Taiwan independence", the DPP has been deliberately trying to lower the administrative level of the Taipei Palace Museum. For example, the list of organizational reforms proposed by the island administrative agencies in May this year was not included in the Taipei Palace Museum, intending to incorporate it into the cultural department and demote it to a third-level agency. At that time, Wu Micha still expressed his agreement and support. Public opinion on the island pointed out that downgrade means cutting budgets and reducing the amount, which is not in line with the interests of the Forbidden City in Taipei. At that time, some people's representatives criticized Wu Micha for not insisting on defending the Taipei Forbidden City.
Of course, it is such a person who cannot even defend the unit he is engaged in. It is really difficult to rely on him to protect cultural relics.
