Episode intro: Spring in Jiangnan, a classical Chinese handscroll donated to the Nanjing Museum in 1959 by one of China\u2019s most prominent collector families, suddenly showed up in an auction lot with an estimated value of 88 million yuan ($12.9 million), triggering public outcry over the mismanagement of treasured artifacts.
