A woman has collected more than 5,000 pencil sharpeners in 40 years in southern China.

Video filmed in the city of Mianyang in Sichuan Province on January 13 shows a woman named Zhao Xinhong introducing the special pencil sharpeners that she collected since 1981.

Zhao said: "(I collected pencil sharpeners) because there were not many toys for us when I was a child. So when I saw the exquisite pencil sharpeners I started to collect them.

"Look at this one. I asked a friend to make the pencil sharpener for me last year as it was the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China."

When being asked how long will she keep collecting the pencil sharpeners, Zhao said, "with the development of the society, we don’t use pencil sharpeners anymore. But I will probably keep collecting them."
