The horse-head statue of the Old Summer Palace returned home in December, over 100 years after it was taken by looters. It happened all because of one man — the late Hong Kong-Macao tycoon Stanley Ho Hung-sun. In a recent interview with China Daily, Ho's daughter Pansy Ho Chiu-king shares the story behind the statue's journey home.
