Category:Save Review · Reading time:8 minutes

Mr. Zhang and his son, Xiao Ming (pseudonym), are an enviable dinosaur model collecting duo. Origin: "When Xiao Ming was three, he saw a dinosaur model at the zoo and refused to leave. I bought him a small Triceratops model, not realizing I'd gotten hooked myself." Growing Together: "We visit exhibitions together, watch documentaries together, and discuss newly discovered dinosaur species together. Collecting has become our favorite parent-child activity." Division of Labor: "Dad handles premium models and scientific knowledge, while Xiao Ming focuses on discovering new species and sharing them on social media. We complement each other perfectly." Unforgettable Moment: "Last year, Xiao Ming used his saved allowance to buy me a birthday gift—a Microraptor model. In that moment, I felt all my efforts were worth it." Passing It On: "What we pass down to our children isn't just objects—it's curiosity and a spirit of exploration." This story has touched countless collectors' hearts.
