National Museum's imperial coronet magnet sells its first million

Tuesday was a doubly lucky day for Li Yafei, a young woman from Shandong province.

To her surprise and excitement, Li was presented with a "1 million record magnet" certificate by the museum's creativity product team in front of media, visitors, and long lines of people queuing to buy one of their own.
