| An ordinary Chinese household layout in 1970's |
An exhibition of old household objects organized by Jinwan Newspaper, one of Tianjin’s major newspapers, attracted thousands of interested locals in October. All 4000 exhibits were collected from Tianjin citizens.
The newspaper has received lots of responses in its call for displays since the exhibition was announced. Among the items was antique furniture passed down through families for several generations and many domestic articles decades old, as well as family treasures collected over many years.
Each object has a long and interesting story behind it and was a good representative of its era. The exhibition also reflected the dramatic changes in Tianjin over the past 100 years and many of its folk customs. As one local visitor said, "These ordinary domestic articles tell the story of our lives."
