According to the World Journal of the United States on April 27, two months ago, the auction of the lost cultural relics of the Yuanmingyuan in China, the rat head and rabbit head bronze statues, by Christie's in France, has aroused worldwide attention among Chinese. Recently, Andy Zheng (sound), who lives in the mountain town of Front Royal in Virginia, USA, said that he had bought a dog head bronze statue in a second-hand store for $1000 a month ago. Judging from the appearance, material and size, he believed it was very likely to be the dog head bronze statue of the 12 animal head bronze statues.

The report said that Andy Zheng, who came from Hong Kong more than ten years ago, settled in this town with his wife and daughter, which is one and a half hours' drive from the US capital Washington and has a population of less than 15,000, engaged in the catering industry. He is neither a collector nor an entrepreneur. Andy Zheng said that his connection with the dog head bronze statue was purely accidental.
