Elderly man gives his heart to toys
( 2003-12-17 17:19) (China Daily)
Have you ever seen a graybeard who is fond of children's toys? Xing Yinhua, a
resident in Changchun, capital city of Northeast China's Jilin Province, is one
of them!
According to a report from Xinhuanet.com, Xing, 80, is dubbed an old urchin
in his Xinhua Neighbourhood.
Totally free from accounting work in his 70s, Xing accidentally fell in love
with a tank toy at a roadside booth when he strolled in a park with his wife.
Since then, the elderly man began to collect various playthings such as model
trains, helicopters, crickets and gorillas. Xing said his new love stems from a
lack of affluent pleasures in his childhood.
