Amateur sleuths join China's hunt for stolen treasures

Associated Press

BEIJING — He Shuzhong prowls the countryside searching for tomb robbers. He had to hide from one gang in an icy river, and mortgaged his own apartment to pay for the hunt -- all to help protect the treasures of China's past.

He leads a band of amateur sleuths who are part of a growing movement to protect Chinese cultural sites and retrieve treasures that have been taken abroad.
