Regain of expensive paintings

A man surnamed Wang regained three pieces of traditional Chinese paintings worth more than 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) with the help of the railway police in Beijing, the Beijing Youth Daily reported.

At midnight on June 1, the police station at the maintenance base of the bullet trains in Beijing received a phone call from Wang reporting the loss of paintings on the G202 train which started in Nanjing, Jiangsu province. The policemen searched for two and half hours before they found the paintings on the luggage rack.

Wang, from Jiangsu province, said one of the three pieces of work is painted by contemporary artist Dong Shouping (1904-1997), and the other two are both from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
