"This popcorn machine was picked up from Santun and people didn't want to sell it to me, so I explained for half a day that it was collected, and this was given to me." Zhao Yansheng said with a smile.

"This bike is quite ordinary to you, but in fact, it is a horn handle, and it will stand as soon as the chain is reversed, and there is no brake downhill." Old Zhao remembered the bicycle he rode when he was a child and said slowly.

Visits to the exhibition hall are free, and Lao Zhao occasionally gives a passionate explanation to tourists.
"Do you know what this 'little gourd' is for?" Seeing the tourists shaking their heads and waving their hands, Old Zhao said triumphantly, "This was used to plant seeds in the past." ”
"My things here, from stone mills to kerosene lamps and calendars, are not easy to come by." Touching the "treasure" collected over the years, Zhao Yansheng was very emotional.

"My daughter-in-law said I was neurotic and knew every day to 'pick up the rags.'" Zhao Yansheng said with a smile, his face full of happiness.
"I just hope that some feelings that are nowhere to be found in the future can be found here." Speaking of the original intention of opening the exhibition hall, Zhao Yansheng's idea is very simple.
Some people regard collecting as a dream and become a fulcrum beyond the ordinary;
Some people regard collecting as a profession and believe that there is a reward for paying;
Some people use collecting as a road and try to get out of the confusion;
Zhao Yansheng regards the collection as a inheritance, hoping that the old objects seen in textbooks and television can be passed down from generation to generation in the folklore museum, so that more people can see and touch it, and immerse themselves in the thickness of history and the crystallization of experience wisdom.
