[Chinese and foreign toys and gift nets] In the collection room of Zhangye in Wanping City, there are more than a thousand pieces of folk toys in his collection. In the past 20 years, Zhang Wei has been searching for toys in various periods in Chinese history. His collection can be traced back to the Jin Dynasty in the 1980s, with more than 1,200 pieces.

Zhang Wei likes toys from an early age. "At that time, although there were not as many high-tech toys as they are now, there were a lot of folk gadgets made by folks." As the 60s were born, they all looked at the anti-war movies, "gun guns, chain guns, boxes." Guns, we all do it ourselves. Several buddies are playing gun battles outside. One dozen is a whole day, and the rice can’t be eaten.”

In the 1980s, Zhang Wei, who had already joined the work, still liked these toys very much. "To move my colleagues, they packed up the toys that they don't want, and I went back to save them." In this way, Zhang Wei began to collect toys, some toys came from garbage dumps, and some came from Pan. The flea market in the home. "At that time, no one bought these toys, so it was not expensive, and they often exchanged ancient folk toys." In 1991, Zhang Hao, who quit his job, often went to the field to collect toys. He walked through Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, and Zhejiang. Waiting for more than 10 provinces, "At that time, no one in the countryside used toys as a baby, so I would sell it to me whenever I had it."

Zhang Wei’s friends know that he likes toys, so they buy them and give them to them when they come across them. When Zhang Wei was in his childhood, he saw the neighbor's brother played a "small steamer", which was a rare toy that children were very eager to get. Zhang Wei was looking for it until 2008, when an American couple from the United States would The "Little Steamer" was brought to China and presented to him. “Although my collection spans nearly a thousand years, I have the most affection for the 40s and 80s, because that is the gadget that grew up with me.” (Editor: Zhe)
