China tenant finds school desk he used 33 years ago in new flat, hopes to keep it as memento
‘Thrilled’ renter says seeing old desk he used back in the day made memories of ‘happy hours at school’ instantly appear in his mind
A man in eastern China who rented a flat and discovered an old desk he used at school 33 years ago has trended on mainland social media.
The man, surnamed Shen, rented the flat near Huaiyin High School in Huaian, Jiangsu province in early July, the Jiangnan Metropolis News reported.
His family is set to move there so that it will be convenient for his son to attend school.
When Shen and his wife were cleaning the house, they found a small and shabby school desk, one side of which carried the Chinese characters “Qing” and “Zhong” and the serial number 246.
That mark led Shen to believe that the desk was the one he used at Qingjiang Middle School in 1992.
“Qing Zhong” is the abbreviation for Qingjiang Middle School.
