Letter to Dutch PM
HUNDREDS of villagers in an East China county have written a letter to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, hoping for the return of a 1,000-year-old mummified Buddha believed to be stolen from their village in 1995.
The letter, jointly written by the local residents of Datian County in Fujian Province and overseas Chinese associations, has been handed to European Chinese societies and is expected to be delivered to the Netherlands via the Chinese Embassy there.
