A poker fan from central Chinese city of Zhengzhou has been making his home a place full of pokers.
Zhengzhou Evening News reports that Mr. Hu, a businessman, is fond of collecting various types of pokers, including a set of poker cards made in 1977.
He told the newspaper that his habit has been fostered further as he purchased a lot of household utensils, such as plates, cups, bowls and even pencil holders bearing poker pictures. In addition, poker pictures can also be found on his suits, shoes and ties.
Mr. Hu explains that his fondness for pokers came from a deep interest in the culture and history represented by the playing-cards from different ages.
