One day in 2003, he accidentally acquired a plane wreck engraved with English. This was dug up in the water conservancy construction in Xinjin County, Sichuan Province, and Fan Jianchuan immediately rushed to the scene to buy it. Before the Spring Festival in 2004, Yunnan writer Li Kunwu discovered four special chairs while traveling in the countryside. He immediately told Fan Jianchuan that he had arrived in rural Yunnan on New Year's Eve.
The chair owner said, "I heard grandpa say that the chair rolled out of the crashed plane." Fan Jianchuan recognized the English under the chair. This is the "mount" of the Flying Tigers. He was overjoyed. Its value is in Fan Jianchuan's heart, which money can't measure. For more than ten years, he spent tens of millions of yuan to collect various cultural relics and often went to Sotheby's and Guardian auction houses. At present, 2 million cultural relics have been collected and tens of thousands of anti-Japanese cultural relics have been collected.
