Many people only saw the destruction during those years, but few realized that for some, it was also a way to make money. Even the most ignorant could recognize that some things were valuable.
Perhaps some people were genuinely brainwashed and acted out of conviction.
But others, like this guy, saw it as an "opportunity" and not only acted aggressively but also took advantage of the situation. They might not recognize antiques and break them, but everyone knows that gold and silver are valuable.
Bold and greedy individuals wouldn't hesitate to seize such opportunities.
And such people weren't rare; there were quite a few of them.
Just like the person Ming Mei encountered on the bus. That person also used his progressive identity to make money. However, he was a bit foolish, taking all the gold bars, which was just asking for trouble.
Moreover, without any introduction letter, he wanted to travel thousands of miles to Hong Kong, showing a lack of common sense.
