Man collects 150 Ming- and Qing-dynasty beds

A businessman from Southwest China's Chongqing municipality has collected 150 antique beds from the Ming and Qing Dynasties worth several million yuan over the past 25 years, Chongqing Evening News reported.

Lin Zeliu, 44, lives in Jingguan town of Chongqing's Beibei district. He started collecting beds when he was 18 and first fell in love with them.

Lin deals in antique reproduction furniture, so the beds are relevant to his business. The beds are stored in a 1,000-square-meter warehouse where the rent is 100,000 yuan a year.

"A businessman offered 100 million yuan for all my antique beds but I refused," Lin said, "I am reluctant to sell them, because they are all bought with my heart."

"My body is healthy sleeping on an antique bed," Lin said. "The warehouse is a little damp as a storage place, and my wish is to open a museum to let people in Chongqing see the beds for free."
