Woman sells Snoopy collection to save mother ( 2004-01-12 09:49) (China Daily)
To raise money for curing her sick mother, a woman in Chengdu, capital of
Southwest China's Sichuan Province, plans to sell her 300 Snoopy collectibles at
an auction, reports China West Metropolis Daily.
Jiajia, 21, a table tennis coach, has been collecting the beagle-themed toys
for over a decade; but to treat her beloved mother, the filial girl is ready to
give up everything in her collection.
Last Friday, Jiajia signed a contract with a Sichuan-based company,
authorizing it to auction off her treasure. The starting price is 2,400 yuan
(US$290).
