Updated: 2009-02-25 19:47 Two lost treasures of Beijing's Old Summer Palace will go on the auction block in Paris on February the 25th. The two bronze head sculptures, one rabbit and one rat, were stolen when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.
The controversial sale has raised concerns among Chinese societies around the world. Many are teaming up to retrieve the items in the courts. Chinadaily had gone to the street and asked people what their opinion towards this issue.
