Can't bear to throw it (the ticket) away.
As a person of Zunyi, we feel a sense of honor. Zunyi is a turning point in history. It is a kind of (red culture) inheritance. First of all, it is an education for myself, and at least for my children (education). If there is something, if it is not for the children to ask them, they can't answer them.
[Explanation] Aware of the importance of Zunyi's red cultural heritage, Yang Minzhi began to devote himself to the collection of tickets for the Zunyi Conference site.
Regarding the collection of tickets, Yang Minzhi has his idea: it is necessary to find the first ticket for the official opening of the venue.

The Zunyi meeting site was previously open to the public.
(Foreigners) It is because there are tickets issued in its back garden (start), (regulations) look at which building, I can go in formally for two cents, so this ticket is the earliest one, this one (may be) In the early 1980s.
(Looking for this one) Just look at the bamboo forest to see if there are any ready-made ones. I picked them up. There are no more on the street. I can only find a needle in a haystack (in the bamboo forest). After more than a year, I finally got a treasure.
[Explanation] With some of the tickets already collected, at the end of 1994, Yang Minzhi had the honor to go to Chengdu to participate in the ticket exchange meeting in the collection industry.
At the meeting, Yang Minzhi's heart was greatly touched when faced with the exquisite and beautiful tickets presented by the collectors.

Just like (seeing) aliens, (being teased) why is there someone from Zunyi, Guizhou, to participate?
Half of Shanghai’s (collectors) came to exchange tickets, and the others’ ones are very exquisite. These (tickets) of mine just stayed in the original plastic tickets. I said, sirs, my level of tickets is comparable to that of me. Very embarrassing, I can't say exchange, I will give it to you.
[Explanation] After returning to Zunyi, Yang Minzhi came up with the idea of designing a set of tickets for the Zunyi Conference. It was approaching the 60th anniversary of the Zunyi Conference. Through communication, his ideas were recognized and supported by local officials.

My idea is to come back decent (design a set), the Zunyi Conference (the ticket) is not just the Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall, but a set of tickets for six scenic spots (related to the Long March of the Red Army).
First of all, photography is my own profession. I conceived the composition myself, so I went to various locations to shoot.
[Explanation] Now, with the help of the local library, Yang Minzhi has established a family private collection that is free and open to the outside world.
As he got older, Yang Minzhi also deployed a new home plan for these babies.

The setting sun should be infinitely good at 80 years old, but it’s almost dusk. I have to take into account these things (collected), (fear) kick, (door ticket) will be used as a waste schoolbag (selling waste paper), I think it is a pity.
(Library and I) The gentleman agrees that you help me build (the collection library at home), and I can pay the money myself.
By the law of nature in later years (later), these things should be inherited by someone, that is to say, they must be handed over to the country to be the real place of belonging.
