It smelled strongly of camphor (樟脑). When he shone a special UV light on it, golden dragon patterns appeared, showing the way to some very valuable vases hidden under Shanghai’s Yu Garden.

His post “Who Should Own History?” became very popular and caught UNESCO’s attention. Then Jake found a surprise—a secret note inside the puzzle box from 1403 that said: “Beautiful things belong to everyone.” Inspired by this, Jake gave all the vases to the Shanghai Museum, where now many people can see them and learn about China’s history.
