The title "How many times was the Old Summer Palace burned?" raises an important historical question. The Old Summer Palace, or Yuanmingyuan in Chinese, is a symbol of China's cultural heritage and its tragic history. It was first looted and set ablaze by Anglo-French allied forces in 1860 during the Second Opium War. This event marked one of the darkest chapters in modern Chinese history. 🇨🇳💔 The flames not only destroyed countless irreplaceable artifacts but also left deep scars on the nation’s collective memory. Later, in 1900, the palace faced further destruction during the Boxer Rebellion when it was again targeted by foreign troops. These events serve as painful reminders of the vulnerability of cultural treasures against military might. Today, while the ruins remain as a testament to past injustices, efforts are underway to preserve this significant site for future generations. 🌿牢记历史，不忘过去，珍惜和平。
