Student picks up leaf, archaeologist declares 'this is a priceless treasure'

Picked up a seemingly ordinary object that turned out to be a priceless treasure. This is a true story in Heilongjiang province (China) .

Accordingly, in 1958, in Nhieu Ha district, Song Ap Son city, Heilongjiang province, due to the difficult life, every afternoon after school, a middle school student named Tran (called Tieu Tran) ran up to a small mountain near his house to collect dry firewood. This sensible teenager wanted to collect firewood to help his parents reduce the burden in life.

One day, after school, this student, as usual, ran up the mountain to collect firewood. Feeling tired, this young man wanted to lie down and rest for a while. While lying down to rest, Tieu Tran accidentally saw a strangely shaped leaf , so he quickly stood up and picked it up.

However, Xiao Chen discovered that this was not an ordinary leaf. Instead, this strange leaf was made of stone and polished. Xiao Chen was very happy because he did not have many toys when he was young. Xiao Chen then brought this leaf to show off to his friends.

A student named Tran found a strange leaf while collecting firewood in the mountains.

At first, his friends were also very excited to see this special leaf. However, there was nothing different about the leaf except that it was polished with stone, so they soon lost interest in it. So, Xiao Chen also brought the leaf home and put it in his desk drawer.

The truth about the leaf picked up on the mountain

In 1965 , archaeologists came to Heilongjiang, Xiao Chen's hometown, to collect cultural relics. The experts went to the villages in the province to spread some knowledge about cultural relics, and at the same time, they began to collect ancient artifacts. This aroused Xiao Chen's curiosity.

After listening to the experts, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered the stone leaf he picked up many years ago. The young man quickly asked the expert: " Is the stone leaf considered a cultural relic? ".

After hearing Xiao Chen's description of the leaf, the experts speculated that the leaf might have an unusual origin. Therefore, they followed Xiao Chen home to see the leaf.

The leaf that this student picked up turned out to be a rare treasure.

When Xiao Chen took out the leaf, the experts observed and determined that the leaf had an ancient origin. However, to determine exactly, they needed to conduct a thorough study. Therefore, the experts borrowed the leaf from the young man and brought it back to the research institute.

The research results surprised the experts. It turned out that this leaf was a product of the Neolithic period, with a history of more than 6,000 years. This can be considered an extremely rare cultural relic.

The leaf, which is more than 6,000 years old, is currently on display at the Heilongjiang Provincial Museum.

After carefully studying the shape and comparing it with relevant historical documents, experts have concluded that this leaf is not an ordinary handicraft. This leaf is a priceless treasure and has extremely great historical significance.

The experts immediately contacted Xiao Chen to ask how he found the leaf. Xiao Chen immediately recounted the process of picking up the leaf.

After learning that the leaf was picked up on the mountain, experts immediately went to the mountain near Xiao Chen's house and began excavation. As a result, experts successfully found a cemetery of primitive tribal leaders . Archaeologists collected many stone artifacts at this historical site.

Archaeologists excavated the site where the strange leaf was found and discovered a relic site with many rare relics.

No one thought that just a leaf that Tieu Tran accidentally picked up would lead everyone to such a valuable historical relic. All the antiques found in this relic site are national treasures.

Thanks to the active cooperation of the young man Tieu Tran, the experts discovered a historical relic of great research value. Therefore, Tieu Tran received a cash reward of 10 NDT (equivalent to nearly 33,000 VND).

At that time, 10 yuan was not a small amount of money, so Xiao Chen was very happy and proud because he had done something meaningful for the country. The leaf that Xiao Chen found is now on display at the Heilongjiang Provincial Museum.
