Love stories preserved in museum of breakups

In a shopping mall located in the center of Harbin city, capital of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, a 200-square-meter museum displays items and real-life stories of people's breakups.

Themed dusty gray and pale white, small boards with heart-wrenching words hang from the ceiling and walls of the Museum of Broken Relationships. Various items on display have accompanying stories that the donors sent in.

"Since I posted the message on different online social platforms about collecting remnants of breakups in the beginning of March, I have received more than 1,000 calls from all over the country," said Liu Yan, the museum organizer.
