" When I was in Grade 4, my father gave me a coin with a picture of a leopard (豹) on one side. I didn't think of it as a toy. So far, I have got thousands of coins from different countries," Abdul said.
Now, Abdul has over 10,000 old objects. And he has turned the top floor of his house into a museum to show them. Many amazing things in his museum are over 200 years old. .

On weekends, I introduce my beloved objects to visitors. Most importantly, my family always support me," Abdul said.
