Ownership:
The donor Thomas Fredengren told the following about how he acquired the banknote: "Jag kom över denna sedel 1994, då jag studerade i staden Hangzhou som ligger i Zhejiangprovinsen i östra Kina. Vid den tiden användes dessa 1 fen sedlar ganska flitigt i cirkulationen och jag blev fascinerad av framförallt utseendet på sedlarna, då sedlarna till mångt liknar sådana sedlar som vi normalt sett använder oss i sällskapsspel här i Sverige.
Efter en lång diskussion på ett av stadens bankkontor kunde jag växla in en 1 yuan sedel till helt splitter nya 1 fen sedlar.
Det är med glädje som jag har donerat denna sedel till Uppsala universitet. Förvisso har sedeln ringa nominellt värde, men den berättar ändå mycket om Kinas samtida historia. Jag hoppas att jag genom denna enkla gest kan inspirera andra att donera till Uppsala universitet och dess samlingar." [i.e., 'I acquired this banknote in 1994 when I was studying in Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province in Eastern China. At that time, these 1 Fen banknotes were frequently used in circulation and I was fascinated not least by their design that was like Swedish toy money. Following a long discussion in one of the state's banks, I was allowed to exchange 1 Yuan for brand-new 1 Fen banknotes.
I am delighted to donate this banknote to Uppsala University. It has a low face value for sure, but it tells a lot about China's modern history. I do hope that with this token gesture I can inspire others to follow suit and donate to Uppsala University and its collections.']
