Heartbreak museum where visitors love to go

A museum in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, that relays stories of heartbreak, has attracted more than 15,000 visitors in 10 days. "Since the beginning of March, when I posted messages on different online social platforms looking for stories of breakups, I have received more than 1,000 calls from all over the country," said Liu Yan, 25, organizer of the Museum of Broken Relationships. Liu quit her job as a tour guide in March and put all her savings of about 200,000 yuan ($30,000) into the business. "All the items and stories have a special meaning," she said. "Some donors hope to help themselves to get rid of the pain of breaking up through sharing items and stories, while some donors expect to help those in good relationships to cherish their lovers."
