There are really all kinds of wonders in this world. Do you believe it? In 1951, a Vietnamese man inherited a wooden bed passed down by his grandfather, but after 62 years, he actually sold it for a high price of 590,000 yuan.
Does this sound a bit incredible? However, this incident did happen in reality. What is going on? Let's take a look together!
Nuen Wenyi, a Vietnamese native, lives in the second district of Andao Township, Fushou Province, Vietnam. Nguyen Wenyi was born in a landlord family. Their family was once very rich in the 1940s and raised more than 20 servants alone. However, since the death of great-grandfather, the family has lost its family.
At that time, in order to repay the debt, Ruan Wenyi's grandfather sold many property and rare treasures. However, the old man refused to give in to the bed at home. The bed was actually a wooden bed in ancient China. In ancient times, Chinese people liked to surround the north, west and east sides of the bed with wooden frames, which belongs to the private category.
However, Vietnamese people do not like to surround the bed. No matter whether they are relatives, friends and family, they like to climb onto the master's bed and talk, and treat the bed as a place for everyone to have fun. Therefore, the open beds on all sides can better adapt to this habit of Vietnamese.
In modern times, few Chinese people have used this kind of sleeping bed again. With the advancement of technology, Simmons has been invented. Various soft beds and all kinds of strange beds have begun to appear in people's sight, and wooden beds have gradually been eliminated. However, Vietnamese still retain this custom, and many rich people even use the precious beds at home as a means of showing off their wealth.
1951, Ruan Wenyi's grandfather accidentally died suddenly before he could explain his funeral. Ruan Wenyi's father died in the early years, so in the order of inheritance, Ruan Wenyi's grandfather's inheritance should be inherited by him.
In March 1951, Ruan Wenyi brought a group of strong men to transport the bed from his grandfather's ancestral house. At that time, in order to pay off his debts, Ruan Wenyi's family had become poor and barren, and his family was barren. Ruan Wenyi's mother's family had to shamelessly share rice with her neighbor every day, so when she saw Ruan Wenyi moving a bed to her house, she was very angry.
She cursed directly at her son:
stone mills, you still want such a thing, the home is already cramped, and if you do this, the home will have to be so crowded.
In 1953, Vietnam began their land reform. At that time, many landlords were executed one after another. Ruan Wenyi's family also belonged to the landlord's family and was subject to a lot of persecution. Traditional cultural relics or precious items at home needed to be seized, but they could be mortgaged to repay. At that time, Ruan Wenyi was determined to keep the bed, so he had to hand over 2.5 kilograms of rice to the village.
In order to raise this 2.5 kilogram of rice, Ruan Wenyi's family went to borrow money from relatives. In the end, they ate , cassava, and taro for several years, before they got over it. After a few years, their teeth were sore.
Since then, Ruan Wenyi has become very cherishing this bed. Whenever he sees the bed dirty, he will immediately go to the garden to pick dandelions. After soaking water, he will use it to clean the bed. Sometimes he also uses wet banana leaves to clean the dust on the bed.
Usually, there are few people sitting on this bed. Only when the family has sacrifices, respected elders will sit on it. Whenever Mr. Ruan Wenyi is away, the five children in the family often run to the bed to play.

1957, Ruan Wenyi's mother secretly carried Ruan Wenyi on her back and was about to sell it to her uncle who was doing business overseas for 1,000 silver dollars. At that time, Ruan Wenyi was picking fruits in the yard. She saw a group of people preparing to move the bed, and hurriedly jumped off the tree, ran over and lying directly on the threshold with her body, saying that she would not let anyone move away.
Another time, a villager who returned from business in Germany drove a new car to Ruan Wenyi's home and said he wanted to take a few gold bars to change the bed with him. However, when Ruan Wenyi learned about it, he said half-jokingly:
I am sitting on this bed. If your wife and children can carry it away, let you take it back.
After hearing what Ruan Wenyi said, the other party understood what he meant. The bed at Ruan Wenyi's house has always been very famous in the local area. This bed is both simple and lively. The wood carvings on it range from the fluff of bat to the folds on the wings. The bats carved on the bed are lifelike. When touching its wings, it seems like wind is coming from under the wings. When touching the eyes, it seems like there is a magical craft.
Many carpenters came to his house after hearing that Ruan Wenyi's house had such a bed, such as Pu Xing, the craftsman of Yongfu Bizhou, and Shen Xiu, the craftsman of Yuechi, were all famous carpenters in Vietnam. They went to Ruan Wenyi's house to take photos of countless angles, postures, close-range and long distances, but when they finally returned, they still couldn't recreate the same charm.
In 2014, a wealthy businessman from Hanoi found Nguyen Wenyi. After 6 days of repeated negotiations, Nguyen Wenyi finally sold it to the wealthy businessman for 2 billion Vietnamese Dong (equivalent to about 590,000 yuan).
