very old Chinese sculptures





The bronze sculptures, a rat's head and a rabbit's head, were looted by invading Anglo-French expedition army in the 19th century, when the invaders burned down the royal garden of Yuanmingyuan in Beijing.



Passion around the two bronze sculptures from the collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berger rage. Yesterday at a press conference in Beijing, Chinese collector Cai Minsk (Cai Mingchao) announced that it was he last week offered the highest price for the sculpture of a rat and rabbit at Christie's auction at the Grand Palais, but pay for them will not be . Cai Minsk, which is a non-governmental adviser to the Fund The National Treasure Funds of China, engaged in the repatriation of cultural property, said that «to act in the interests of all Chinese people», and added that thus fulfilled their civic duty. He also said: «A Chinese man in my place would have acted the same».

ballyhoo around these two sculptures that were stolen from the Imperial Summer Palace Yuanminyuan, looted in 1860 by English and French troops, has climbed even well before the auction works from the collection of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berger, on 25 February . My disagreement with the upcoming sale, and demand the return of those masterpieces of home express cultural organizations of China and Government , and team of lawyers led by Jan Liu (Liu Yang) tried to sue the owner of the collection and auctioneers .

Ze gaat Poppy heten, het kleintje


Ik ben haar aan het bijvoeren omdat ze zo klein is. Vanmiddag zocht ik haar en kon haar nergens vinden.
Ik heb het hele nest onderste boven gegooid. Alle kleintjes in een mandje gedaan en gezocht. Ze lag ergens in een hoekje helemaal koud. Ik heb haar meteen opgewarmd. Ze had wel gegeten, ze had melk in haar buik. Ik wil zo graag dat ze blijft leven.

I call her Poppy. I was looking for her everywhere in the cage. I couldn't find her. After having all off the otheres ones in a basket I removed a lot of nest material and found her away from the nest in a corner all cold. I warmed her fed her, although she had milk in her tummy she liked a little more, I put her back with her brothers and sisters to keep her warm.

update nestje 30-11-2011







Ik maak me wel zorgen over het kleinste rittentje ze blijft wel heel erg achter.
Im worried about the little one she is so small she cant keep up I hope she will hold on. She will stay with me if she survives.

Mec Kelso, our new ratboy






Mec betekend kerel, vent, maat in het frans en dat vond ik wel leuk bij Kelso passen.
Kelso is vernoemd naar Micheal Kelso van That 70's show een beroemde uitspraak:"If this is about maturity, I want nothing to do with it!"
Kelso werd geboren in Rattery charmed ones.
Ik heb hem met 7 weekjes opgehaald bij rattery Blue Moonzij werken regelmatig samen.
Hij is heel grappig, nieuwsgierig en vind het erg leuk om bij me te zijn. Ik ben hem flink aan het vetmesten want het is een heel klein friemeltje voor zijn leeftijd.
Mec means something like chap in french. I liked to call him that chap Kelso, my mec.
I named him after Kelso from That 70's show because Kelso is kinda stupid and makes me laugh. He is very funny and i am giving him lots of goodies and extra food because he is a mouse for his age!
