Lan Wenwen, a 23-year-old from Chengdu, brought to the museum a plastic water bottle left by her ex-boyfriend. She decided to leave the bottle there, together with all the memories of her ex-boyfriend.

"I was so caught up in misery that I couldn't stop thinking of him," she said. "I had been using that bottle for almost one year, but I think it is time for me to let it go and embrace a new life."

"Young people's love is intense, and a breakup may lead to depression for many," Zhu said. "We can help provide some psychological counseling for them as we also cooperate with some professional institutions."
