A university in Zhengzhou launched a museum of love-breaking memories, and students spontaneously donated "the thing they once loved" to say goodbye to the past.
On May 11, the newly opened Love Breakup Museum on campus in Zhengzhou Xiyas College became popular. More than 160 exhibits and the stories behind them resonated with viewers and netizens. "Compared with other owners who are both worldly descent, their relationship may not be that bumpy," said Hu Huili, the museum's curator.
Anonymous exhibits tell the story of youth
Train tickets, dolls, diaries, love letters... The museum has received more than 160 items of various colors so far, and the scale continues to expand. All items were anonymously treated before being exhibited, which seemed dull, but the words on the "Exhibition Introduction" made them lively, which was the "last confession" left by their respective owners.
A girl wrote in the introduction of a bouquet of stars: "The sugar flowers were given by him when he confessed. He held the flowers and said he had made them for more than two hours. The bouquet of stars was the second bouquet of flowers he gave me during the quarrel. He apologized to me and we have made up." Now, this bouquet of stars was placed on the booth of the Museum of Love Breakup.
, classmate Zhao, who did not want to be named, talked to Zhengguan News reporters about the past: Since breaking up with his girlfriend during the epidemic last year, he has been unable to get out of depression for a long time, and now he is finally getting better. Classmate Zhao handed over the gift that he did not give out - a pair of internet celebrity toy ducks to the Museum of Love Blindness. He said: "I said a lot to the duck before, but now I'm taking it out and showing it, which is a farewell."
There is also a printout of the mobile phone screenshot as a separate display of the exhibits. It can be seen that the owner of the mobile phone pressed the screenshot key before deleting 1109 photos. All the photos carrying memories were deleted, but this screenshot was left.
"Love Breakup Museum" entered the campus for the first time
In 2006, the world's first Love Breakup Museum was founded in Croatia, and it was popular later. Today, similar venues are not uncommon in various places, but the commercial atmosphere is getting stronger and it is "too far away" from the student group. It is precisely based on the exploration of "empathy" that Hu Huili and her students launched the Museum of Love Breakup on campus.
On May 9, a large number of students came to visit the exhibition on the first day of the "opening" of the Museum of Loves. According to the student cadres responsible for exhibition and maintenance, everyone has different classes schedules, so there is a constant stream of audiences in each time period.
The audience is not only satisfied with curiosity.
Chen Tian and Liu Yicheng, who came here to see the exhibition, said they were very touched after watching the exhibition. They are about to be seniors, one of them wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination and the other wants to take the civil service exam, and they are working hard to the same city. "I feel that I should cherish it more after reading it."
Dialogue curator: Helping students establish a correct outlook on life
Curator Hu Huili is the director of the school's Mental Health Education and Counseling Center and a national second-level psychological counselor. In the psychological counseling room downstairs of the Museum of Love Breakup, she answered the reporter's questions.
Zhengguan News Reporter: Why do you want to launch the Museum of Broken Love?
Hu Huili: College students are in a stage of strong self-awareness. The contradiction between reason and emotion, independence and dependence is more prominent, and many students cannot withstand the setbacks of breaking up love. In addition, general psychological counseling courses are difficult to truly enter students' hearts. The Museum of Love Breaks can make them feel deeper, thus guiding them to face setbacks with a positive attitude.
Zhengguan News Reporter: Is the Love Breakup Museum effective? Why?
Hu Huili: has effect. For the owners of the exhibit, it is a process of re-examining and facing them; for the exhibitors, on the one hand, they can think about what love looks like from the perspective of "late-knowledge", and on the other hand, what they see is the love story around them, which is more likely to empathize.
Zhengguan News Reporter: is there any resistance or concerns to promote the Museum of Broken Love on campus?
Hu Huili: The phenomenon of college students falling in love is very common. We must face it instead of avoiding the problems. If the school does not guide, students may take many detours and cannot let them get tired of themselves. The Museum of Love Breakup is a very novel form, and the purpose is to enable students to establish a correct outlook on life.
