Li Tieguang, a collector of newspapers, shows off his collection for the past 50 years, covering over 30,000 kinds of newspapers in his apartment.

More than 300 copies of the newspapers collected by Li are being presented to the public.

The exhibit consists of six topics: economics, reform, culture, society, science and technology, and sports.

"I would like to share the history of my collection with everyone." Li said.

Besides newspapers, Li also collects vouchers for food, cloth tickets, soap tickets, seagull cameras and other objects in the era of the planned economy. (Compiled by Dong Feng)
