The book, which is due to be published next year, uncovers evidence that theres a link between Da Vinci and the Far Fast.Speaking to the SouthChinaMorningPost, Mr. Paratico said, “I am sure that Leonardos mother was from the East, but to make her a Chinese, we need to use a deductive method (演绎法).One wealthy client of Leonardos father had a slave called Caterina. After Leonardos date of birth, she disappeared from the documents. She was no longer working there.”It is believed that his mother was called Caterina, who, according to some reports, was a local peasant. But Mr. Paraticos new work claims it is most likely that Da Vincis mother was a slave.Supporting his theory, he said, During the Renaissance, countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East.”He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vincis life and works which suggest a Chinese link. For instance, he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian, which was not common. Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother, as Sigmund Freud said in 1910. On the back of Mona Lisa, there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese.Mr. Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vincis relations in Florence and extract some DNA.1．Mr. Paratico has stayed in Hong Kong for 20 years to_________.A.study Da Vincis motherB.explore the connection of Italy and ChinaC.find Da Vincis mother is a slav
