    There were 12 bronze (青铜) animal heads at the European style (风格) in Old Summer Palace
(Yuanmingyuan)-Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
They were made into fountain (喷泉) and would take turns spouting water every two hours to tell time.

     But the heads were looted (抢) by French and British soldiers in 1860 during the Second Opium War
(鸦片战争).

    Until now, Pig, Ox, Monkey, Tiger and Horse have returned to China. But Rat and Rabbit beads were
auctioned (拍卖) for $17.92 million each. Luckily, Cat Mingchao, a Chinese collector won the auction,
but he said he would not pay the money. Why? He said they were looted from China and he is a Chinese.
"We will use international and Chinese laws to get the two beads to return to China in all necessary ways,"
said Ouyang. However, there are still five bronze heads (Dragon, Snake, Sheep, Rooster, Dog) are unknown
now.
    An online survey, by Le Figaro newspaper, showed that more than 80 percent people said the bronze heads
should be returned to China, the Europe Daily reported on Wednesday. We should understand why they want
the two bronzes back…Just think about how they came to France.
