16 years later, man is still pursing a dream of treasure
Ma Qingrong, 62, from Dayao County, Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, has spent the last 16 years of his life digging for treasure on Mount Maanshan near his village. Every day he toils in a tiny cave he’s caved into the mountain, picking and shoveling his way deeper into the mountain.
The treasure he’s after was supposed left behind by Zhuge Kongming (an accomplished strategist in China’s Three Kingdoms Period) while crusading in the area. Ma expects to find chests of treasure, along with important scriptures and artifacts.
With so much dedication and effort expended you’d expect that Ma has a pretty strong belief that the treasure lies within the mountain. You bet he does! Incontrovertible proof, in the form of a dream.
“In the dream, I was led by a girl clad in black dress to a mysterious stone palace” says Ma. Yes, that’s right. His only evidence is through his dreams. There is hope however, because according to his dream, he’s only got two more years to go.
