Beijing’s lonely hearts are getting a little tonic for love sickness from a new group dubbed the Love Dinosaur Park, CFP reported.
Manager Gong Yelong said he initially started the group to help a friend a year ago.
"At that time, one of my friends was to marry soon, but he didn’t know how to deal with the letters and things from his past lovers. He turned to me to keep them for him. It then struck me that why not set up a “Bank” to store these things for people in need," he said.
After meeting with other people struggling to come to terms with a former relationship, Gong found many were still bothered by love sickness, so he organized for these unhappy people to sit together to talk about their problem and encourage each other to share.
"About one hundred members have joined the club to relieve from the troubles of the past. I remember a girl Xiao Wang used to sit in the corner in silence when she came, but now she is revived to be a happy girl and helps others often," Gong said.
By taking lessons and tests, and communicating with each other, many members have rebuilt their confidence in life and have found new love, according to reports.
