My name is Zhao Rui. I love collecting stamps. It all started because of my grandpa. He is a stamp collector and owns thousands of stamps. Some of them are very valuable, so he always handles them with great care. He even wears white gloves when he looks at them! Every Sunday, he adds new stamps to his collection, and I sometimes help him take old stamps from envelopes and postcards.
My favourite stamp is one of the Palace Museum. It was my first stamp, and my grandpa bought it for me. He told me that the buildings were built hundreds of years ago without using a single nail! I became interested in traditional Chinese buildings after that. Now I have over a hundred stamps of similar buildings, and I am learning more about Chinese history and culture.
