Zhang Xuehua, the safety supervisor of Changshu Municipal Administration Bureau, only mentioned his position, which didn't have much impact. If you add "silk newspaper collector" before his name, everyone in the newspaper collection circle will know.
Zhang Xuehua is a member of China Collectors Association and China Newspaper Association, and his collections have been exhibited in Suzhou, Changshu Museum, schools and communities for more than ten times. Interview with CCTV's "Art Investment" and "Jianbao" columns. Dozens of media, such as China Jibao Information, have made special reports for many times, and have been praised by newspaper friends all over the country as "the first person in the collection of China Silk Newspaper".
Up to now, there are more than 60 kinds of silk newspapers in Zhang Xuehua, with hundreds of copies, which are incomparable in China.
Zhang Xuehua said that Silk Newspaper is a special product issued by newspapers to commemorate major events. It is made of precious silk and printed with high technology. Its graphic clarity is far better than that of paper newspapers. It is an unpopular luxury collection, which was once favored by high-end newspaper collectors.
Since China founded the Silk Newspaper, Zhang Xuehua has spared no effort to collect it, even though he has to tighten his belt and eat too much. Fifteen years later, he collected newspapers, including almost all versions of silk newspapers in China, among which 1 1 was the first newspaper, which made him relish:

Everything is rare.
Zhang Xuehua's home is like an exhibition hall, and the silk newspaper area is dazzling, which is an eye-opener and the Taobao experience is more convincing. It is better to read the collection history than to communicate.
Ma Zhenyu, consultant of the Collection Branch of China Newspaper Association, and Liu Guangjin, vice president, all praised Zhang Xuehua's Silk Newspaper Collection. In addition to collecting silk newspapers, Zhang Xuehua's collection of alternative newspapers is also dizzying. Tens of thousands of collections are the results of more than 30 years of collection.
At the beginning of the collection, Zhang Xuehua knew that there were so many kinds of collections that it was impossible to dabble in antiques. After repeated speculation, but the newspaper collection is the easiest and easiest to do, from now on determined to take newspapers as friends and collect fine products. Reading newspapers is pleasant, but collecting newspapers is difficult. No matter whether winter comes or summer comes, except for work, all holidays and leisure are always monopolized by the figure of Zhang Xuehua Jicang.
Zhang Xuehua often hangs out at the second-hand market in Changshu and talks with Tibetan friends in Yi Shen about "collecting classics". On the "core news gathering days" such as the return of Hong Kong and Macao, the successful Olympic bid and the opening of the Olympic Games, Zhang Xuehua went all over the city's newsstands to "snap up" the newspapers of that day. In order to collect the Chinese prefix newspaper, Zhang Xuehua made great efforts to contact more than 200 newspapers and more than 500 newspaper friends, and finally got his wish.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the National Day, Zhang Xuehua made an appointment six months in advance. On 10, the local party and government organs were collected, and finally the organs of all provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan were collected on the National Day. "It's hard to come here, and it's sweet as soon as you enter." After decades of fine concealment, Zhang Xuehua has gradually become a "master" figure in the industry.
Zhang Xuehua has collected more than 200 volumes and 10000 special issues in the form of subscription, purchase, exchange and search. There are nearly 30 series of special picture books, including the Republic of China, China, Jiangsu, Gusu, Changshu, Yingmo, anti-corruption, Olympics, Shenzhen Expo, calligraphy and painting, Hong Kong's return, Macao's return, China, advertising, National Day, social celebration and Asian Games. There are many trial issue numbers, inaugural issue numbers, closed issue numbers, final issue numbers, reissue numbers, revised issue numbers, expanded issue numbers, supplementary numbers, commemorative numbers, nicknames, complimentary editions, miniature editions, collector's editions, congratulations editions, centennial editions and thousand issue editions. There are countless treasures that are beautiful.
Most newspapers are paper, and there are rare newspapers with special materials, such as silk newspaper, gold foil newspaper, silver foil newspaper, ceramic newspaper, miniature newspaper, telephone card newspaper, matchbox newspaper, playing card newspaper, business card newspaper, photo newspaper, bookmark newspaper, clothes newspaper, United Daily News, cloth newspaper, umbrella newspaper and other special newspapers. It can be called the world of newspapers, the ocean of newspapers. Zhang Xuehua's obsession with newspapers attracted a lot of praise and criticism. For his supporters, Zhang Xuehua called him a partner; Zhang Xuehua did not explain the deniers. It is most appropriate to deal with the set goals in a way that goes its own way. Its language is full of philosophy.
Zhang Xuehua collects newspapers not for fun, but for treasure. 1966' s People's Liberation Army Daily has been read all year, and he often rummages through it in his spare time, recalling the special history of the "Cultural Revolution" as if he had returned to a specific era. Xinhua Daily published a special issue of Splendid Jiangsu, introducing the cultural landscape and historical changes of 64 counties and cities under its jurisdiction. It can be called a textbook and a walking dictionary in Jiangsu, and it is a business card in Jiangsu, which makes people never tire of reading it. Zhang Xuehua collected all the prescriptions in three years and cited them as classics.
It is a great pleasure for Zhang Xuehua to gain knowledge, cultivate sentiment and make friends in newspaper collection.
Besides collecting newspapers, Zhang Xuehua also collects purple sand, porcelain, calligraphy and painting. With the permission of funds, he owns nearly 100 famous pots, including the sculptures of contemporary ceramic sculptor Zhou Guozhen and the works of more than 300 influential painters and painters at home and abroad, including Master Wu Jiantang, honorary president of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Painting.
He also had contact with more than 200 national model workers and cultural celebrities, and collected autographs and notes of more than 200 celebrities, which became a rare artistic treasure.
Besides collecting books, writing books has become another "career" of Zhang Xuehua. It is planned to hold a retrospective exhibition of personal silk newspaper and the launching ceremony of People in Contemporary China Newspaper in Changshu in April this year. The book was co-edited by Zhang Xuehua and Liu Guangjin and published by China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Press.
Zhang Xuehua has established a base camp in the field of collection, and his collection "career" is rooted in the atmosphere of collection prosperity, which will surely flourish and be full of vitality. (Excerpted from Wang Zhengyi's China Architectural News)
