Unsurprisingly, the event of Big G entering the Forbidden City fermented and provoked a big backlash of public opinion. It`s similar to the path of the previous 251 events, originally a simple matter, but because of the withdrawal of hot search, delete Weibo and other operations to arouse the audience`s rebellious psychology, triggered more antipathy.
Here, still want to reiterate the words of the state media chivalrous island: more than 100 years later, the imperial palace is no longer the private property of the feudal emperor, any development and operation around the palace cannot forget the "people" of the palace.
Today we don`t say anything else, just eat melon, this melon is related to house.
The client`s online photo album, Instragram, revealed the ocean-view mansion bought in March 2018 in Newport Beach, a wealthy district of Los Angeles, just as I had a little bit of research on the American real estate, and here`s a grilling with everyone.
Palace`s client, lulu, uploaded two of her mansions to the photo album as follows.
Grand House Chart 1
Grand House Chart 2
Do you think the amount of information on these two charts will support us to find the full address of the suite behind all the information? The answer is: no problem at all. Here`s how you can almost become an American realestate amateur detective, so be careful.
In the United States, there are usually two ways to remove realestate skin, the first is to directly use the image of the person, Google the image, because of the current image search is more intelligent, it is likely to use similar images to find the realestate agent at the time of the sale, then you can directly through the image of the web page to see all the information about the suite;
The second option is to use the first option when it doesn`t work, which is based on the location of the real estate, which is more time-consuming than the first by searching for information on all the local real estate transaction data.
For the time being, it`s impossible to use the first method to match a woman`s flashy photo, but it`s a good fit to use the second because it`s already positioned to narrow the destination to a fairly small range, Newport Coast in Newport Beach, an area with a small population of less than 10,000, and a lot of mountains in the area, with a low real estate but a high total price, and it`s not a little hard to find out which one.
Let`s start by opening Redfin, one of the largest realestate sites in the United States, with all the data available. Search Newport Coast, Newport Beach, CA. chooses to show only Sold`s home (sold), range over the past two years, and then considers that its photo is a stand-alone house, so choosing to show only Houses in the PropertyType option is getting smaller and smaller.
Redfin search results
As expected, according to the search data, the total number of independent houses sold in Newport Coast in the past two years is only 244, we cannot guarantee that the party bought at the moment of the photo, may have only been looking at the house, or may have been buying for a long time, so still rely on the corresponding picture to find out is the most reliable.
Because there are more than 200 units, I thought it would take about an hour to complete, did not expect to take only 15 minutes in the end, perhaps because I have more experience in the United States, and combined with the two photos given by the parties, at a glance excluded a lot of rooms. Finally decided on the following.
L.A. House in the album of women`s album (house number has been sealed for privacy)
The house is 100% certain because many photos in the house`s photo albums are in full compliance with the clues in photos uploaded by female owners. The living room below, for example, looks exactly the same in terms of furnishings, views, curtains, and sofas. It is important to know that the interior decoration of the independent house in the United States, even if it is the sale of the new plate, has a lot of personalized space, and it is impossible to have the same interior decoration from the same perspective.

Once we`ve identified the source, let`s look at the basic information about the suite. According to the Redfin page, the latest transaction price of the suite is $11.81 million (81.4 million yuan), with an area of 7644 feet (715 square meters), an area of 0.45 acres (1821 square meters) and a total of four bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
The 81.4 million yuan house is sky-high, but if you think you can enjoy the mansion once and for all with the money, then underestimate the strength of the owners. Because realestate in the United States all have a holding cost (including a realestate tax and a possible HOA, or property fee), what is the realestate tax on the suite every year? 153,000 US dollars (1.05 million RMB).
Realestate tax data for the house (2018)
In addition to the realestate tax, the home is subject to a monthly property fee of $838(rmb 5782) for the duration of its holdings.
Property fee data for the house
This also tells us the truth: never underestimate the purchasing power of a mysterious rich man. Let`s take a look at the room`s photo, with an appreciative view of the party`s extravagance in life, and whether its wealth is the right thing to do, only to the discipline inspection department to investigate.

See here, the article is not over, because there are some questions that have not been resolved. Because according to the information shown online, the latest transaction time of the suite is May 20,2019, and the time of the female owner`s sun map is March 2018. What happened in the meantime?
The original home was listed for sale on august 5,2015, for $20 million, and then sold on august 14,2018 after a number of price cuts (high realestate often requires a big discount).
Transaction information on this suite
Based on the time points on the transaction information sheet, we can search the registration records of the suite in the local government (Orange County).
In 2018, the suite wasn`t trading as the realestate trading platform said, and the property rights of the house were transferred from a trust called Lee Louois to a man named Wang Zhijie on August 24,2018, and the Parcel Number on this record (which can be understood as the realestate identification number) was in full agreement with the realestate shown above.
In the United States, there is no realestate certificate to buy a house, but the transfer of ownership of house has a contract (Grand Deed), which proves a certain transaction or transfer of house, and here`s the message we saw on Orange County government.
One transfer in 2018
Wang Zijie is clearly not the name of the Forbidden City woman, and the suite does not belong to the woman in law. So the weird thing is, how could she say something like "new house, super-like" on Instagram? Is it vanity or profit delivery?
Wang Zijie, who is unusual, is actually the wife of Zhongtian Liu, and who is Zhongtian Liu, according to a public document from the California District Court in September 2017. Liu Zhongtian, owner of Zhongwang Group, owns a 74% stake in the group and is worth as much as $24 billion.
Their immigration record says they divorced in 1999, but it`s now mary`s status.
Introduction by Zahijie Wang on court documents
Zhongtian Liu`s introduction to the court document specifically identifies him
More documents in Orange County, California prove that Wang Zijie`s purchase of realestate in California is far more than the Forbidden City women`s set, and we can find out three of its Grante as Grante
Deed (realestate trading records), three documents proving that it bought realestate locally on August 29,2014, March 17,2015, and September 19,2018... while Orange County is just one county in the Greater Los Angeles area and Los Angeles is just one of many big cities in the United States.
We don`t know why she bought so many houses in the United States, but perhaps several other houses will also appear in the album of one of the three generations of silly wives to show endless superiority.
Wang Zijie`s Three Grant Deed Records in Orange County
With the deep excavation of information, our vision gradually shifted from the Forbidden City female owners to Zhongwang Group. Zhongwang Group is China`s aluminum giant, is definitely a national weight of the class of enterprises, this company and the Forbidden City female owners between the relationship we do not know, only to the real experts to investigate. But judging by these public records, the American aspirations of the top echelons of Chinese society are beyond the imagination of most people.
In 2019, there were media reports that China`s richest man, Liu Zhongtian, and China`s Zhongwang, which he founded, were suspected of smuggling large quantities of aluminum to the United States to escape $1.8 billion in tariffs. Liu Zhongtian,55- year - old, Zhongwang of China and several defendants have been convicted by a Los Angeles grand jury on 24 counts.
Zhongwang`s response was that it did not violate the law, and the chinese nonferrous metal industry association vice president of the literature army told the global times jornalist at the time that it was a us crackdown on chinalco and the company. I don`t know if mr. wen will still think that zhongwang and the united states have such a grudge after all, some of the company`s net profit eventually flowed into the west coast of america`s mansion.
The suite went through another deal in May 2019, according to county government records, with another Chinese entrepreneur, Duan Hongbiao, priced at exactly $11.81 million shown on Redfin, though it stopped digging because the time point of the deal didn`t match the time of the Forbidden City women`s sun map.
It`s worth noting that all of this information comes from the internet, all information that the average internet user can access without spending a penny, and that we ordinary people really should thank the internet and the open and transparent realestate information system in america for exposing everything to the sun and making the darkness nowhere to hide.

People`s Daily comments: the Palace need to find out to the end, to the public a Mercedes-Benz into the Palace, causing high public concern. The public`s doubts have not been lifted despite the Palace Museum`s response, admitting that driving into the palace was true and sincerely apologising to the public. Think of once in "I repair cultural relics in the Forbidden City ", the masters to protect the Palace tiles, in the courtyard are cycling or walking. Netizens lamented:" One side is careful protection, the other side is wantonly wasteful, very different. "
In the comments section of the@Forbidden City museum," This is it? ""? So simple? "Two comments voiced the voice of netizens and won more than 180,000 likes.
The people`s daily comment points out that people`s pain is that our precious national artifacts and cultural dignity have been violated; the indignation is that the 600-year-old palace is no longer a private property of feudal privilege, but some people still try to undermine this consensus. In such cases, public questioning is not without merit. Why are visitors still able to enter on Closed Hall Day? Why in early 2013, when the Forbidden City fully implemented the rules prohibiting motor vehicles from entering the open area, someone could drive a big tour? Is this a management loophole, or a privilege of arbitrariness? In the face of all kinds of online speculation, the palace still needs to find out the bottom, to give the public an account, otherwise the rules lost, will only derive the window-breaking effect, and eventually form an irretrievable crisis of trust and image.
The commentary says the vitality of the rules depends on the degree of awe on the part of all and on the strength of the maintenance of the framers. A rule is an iron rule, which is not to my advantage but to my advantage, but to my disadvantage. The rigidity of the rules would be cut to pieces and everyone would be a victim; the rules would not be a spring, not a burst of relief, not a "relative "can be cleared, not a "money "can be bought, and if there was a gap in the rules, there would be nothing fair to say about them. It should be said that everyone is equal before the rules and that no one has the privilege of having children.
The picture comes from Weibo
Isn`t it a case of driving into the Forbidden City?
There have been a number of postings to show off it is worth noting that "driving into the Forbidden City" is not a case in point. According to the Global Times, the revelations show that since the Forbidden City announced the ban in 2013, there have still been people who claim to be able to drive into the Forbidden City from time to time, and the route is varied: this one, which is driving Lamborghini through the Shenwu Gate.
This "fresh experience" is going from Donghuamen to the interior parking lot. The width of the car can just pass through the palace gate, and a wider car will retract the reversing mirror.
This one, then speech between the suspected realization across the Forbidden City.
This morning, another blogger revealed a short video of a man parked his car inside the Forbidden City while a car drove slowly through the window. The man clapped and said," Isn`t it a little too high-profile for us to drive? "
As for the reasons for successful entry, some people are not shy: last year, a female netizen wrote, in a weekend drive into the park, free of tickets, Donghua Gate into Donghua Gate. She lamented that it was her "top 6 thing in 2019."
At that time, the curious message asked her if anyone could enter, she said," find an acquaintance."
Others generously share "strategy "," through the Palace Museum four departments to coordinate, only to drive to the main entrance of the Temple "……
At the same time, some people responded that they were innocent and were misunderstood. For example, a female netizen was revealed in November 18" first drive into the Forbidden City, very excited in the car."
She deleted the original Weibo yesterday and released several pictures to clarify that she was going to the exhibition, not a special case. "The documents are complete, otherwise it is impossible to enter without authorization, and there is a parking lot inside, not through the main entrance, and a lot of other vehicles are parked in it that day. "
Another user, Weibo, said in September last year that she was a "female driver," driving to the Forbidden City" saves energy "and was then strongly questioned.
She also posted a parking permit and photo inside the venue yesterday, saying she was in full order to attend a press conference. "I entered with the motorcade at West Wall Gate, and there was a parking lot over there. "

@Luxiaobao LL after the incident spread, Palace staff have revealed that visitors are not allowed to drive into the Palace Museum, and for work, watching the exhibition and other reasons, some people after approval can drive into Xihuamen. So why are so many people driving through? So far, the Forbidden City has not responded further.

These questions need to be answered.
Question 1. How is the Forbidden City "closed "?
The Forbidden City has been banned for seven years. Starting in early 2013, the Forbidden City has fully implemented regulations prohibiting motor vehicles from entering the open area. This provision is primarily for some guests. The Forbidden City once released a copy of The Palace Service in 2017, which states that in the past guest vehicles can enter the open area, which will affect the safety of the audience and the order of visit. When especially vehicles pass through the entrances to midday and shenwumen, staff members need to organize spectators to avoid them, causing passenger convoys to compete with spectators, making them prone to congestion and traffic accidents.
Shan Jixiang, the former president of the Palace Museum, told a story in his speech about blocking the president`s motorcade:" We strongly announce that all vehicles are not allowed to cross the open area. But it is difficult to stop the state guests, can drive to the Forbidden City to get off. Later (April 26,2013) when French President François Hollande arrived, we closed the gate, and in three minutes the armed police went out to readjust the formation, and a few minutes later Hollande`s motorcade came and got out of the car. I introduced him to the history of the afternoon gate. All the foreign guests got off the bus outside after the closing event that day. "
At present, the Palace Museum receives guests by: arranging guests to get off outside the afternoon gate and walk into the Palace Museum. At the end of the visit, the guests will either walk out of the gate or drive out of the west gate in the non-view area. Xihuamen is the west gate of the Forbidden City, near which there is an internal parking lot for the Forbidden City. General Palace staff from the West China Gate driving in, parking in the non-open area of the parking lot, will not enter the open area, let alone need to travel through the Taihe Gate Square.
The map shows that there is a parking lot near the West China Gate, and the satellite map shows that many vehicles are parked there
Question 2. Where do the vehicles involved enter?
So, how did the former Air China flight attendant in photo enter the Forbidden City by car? According to photo, the parking position is in the south of the Forbidden City`s Taihe Gate Square, facing the Wumen Tower on the south, and the north is close to the Jinshui Bridge. The area is an open area and the starting point for spectators to visit the Forbidden City after entering the afternoon gate.
The woman in question explained in Weibo that it was a "parking lot" which was clearly not in accordance with the facts. According to jornalist`s understanding of the palace, there are three ways to drive into the area. The first is through the door of the afternoon gate, which is closed on Monday and can be ruled out. The second way is to enter through the West China Gate, through the south wall and Taihe Gate Square West wall junction of the passage into the Taihe Gate Square. The third way is symmetrical with the second way, entering from Donghua Gate and entering through the passage at the junction of the south wall and the east wall of Taihe Gate Square. The woman in Weibo explained that she had entered from the West China Gate, which should have been the second way.
Why can we break through the palace barrier and enter the taihemen square area by means of xihuamen via baoyun building and wuying hall? At present, the Imperial Palace has not been further explained.
Question 3: Why is it still possible to enter the palace when the museum closes on Monday?
Another focus of netizens is why the women involved can enter the Forbidden City on Monday Closed Day? The Forbidden City has become the world`s most visited museum every year, and the number of visitors has increased year after year, and the 600-year-old palace needs to rest. Therefore, from April 1,2013, the Imperial Palace trial every Monday afternoon closed for half a day. On this basis, in January 2014, in addition to statutory holidays and summer vacations, the Forbidden City officially closed all day on Monday. It`s again in 2018, and the summer is also closed on Monday. During the closing period, it wasn`t entirely without an audience. Some of the Forbidden City exhibitions will sometimes be arranged to receive professional audience, co-organizer representatives, media and other personnel to visit on Monday.
The car owner explained in an interview that the woman involved in the photo was a friend who said she had been invited to the event by the palace. The Imperial Palace has explained that through the closure of the museum every week, the Forbidden City has been rested on the one hand, and the various departments of the Palace Museum have often used the closed day to carry out the work of indoor maintenance of the exhibition hall, the cleaning of the open environment, and the scientific and technological protection of cultural relics and exhibits. The brief rest and recuperation is essentially for the longevity of the Forbidden City cultural relics.
