Septuagenarian in Shanghai runs plush doll clinic to rescue old toys

Zhu Boming with a photo of a plush doll before and after he had restored it at his home in Shanghai on Saturday, August 17, 2019. Before he retired, the 72-year-old worked at a research institution in Shanghai. The first time he successfully repaired a doll was several years ago, when he restored a doll belonging to his child. A growing number of people have been coming to him asking for help fixing their beloved toys, so three years ago Zhu established his plush doll hospital. [Photo: IC]
