Liu Quanjun, a post-90s young man in Jinan, East China's Shandong province, opened the city's first museum for remains of breakup on May 1, attracting thousands of visitors a day.

The Museum of Broken Relationships in Jinan displays items of breakup, ranging from dozens of railway tickets to handwritten letters, a half-knitted scarf, an unusable mobile phone and a new wedding dress.

"Most of the displays are donated by people who have broken up with their lovers. I can receive as many as five or six items a day. And the number is increasing," Liu noted.

"All the items and stories have special meanings to the donors," he said, "I hope the museum helps them to get rid of the pain from breaking up through sharing the items and stories."

The ticket for the museum costs only 19.9 yuan ($2.9). According to statistics from booking apps, to date, more than 7,000 tickets have been sold.
