The coupons collector

Many people have never seen a rationing coupon, which was used in China from 1953 to 1993. Li Santai shares the memories that come with his collection of 50,000 of these coupons with Li Yang.

Li Santai is famous in Liuzhou city of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region for his collection of nearly 50,000 rationing coupons, a hobby he cultivated since the 1960s.

The 77-year-old turned the first floor of his two-story home into a private museum exhibiting his collection for free to "teach the young to treasure their happy life today".
