A gathering of the Love Dinosaur Park members
Lonely hearts in China are getting a little tonic for love sickness from a new group called the Love Dinosaur Park in Beijing.

Its manager Gong Yelong said he initially started the group to help a friend a year ago.

"At that time, a friend of mine was to marry soon but he didn't know how to deal with the letters and things from his past lovers.

"He askedme to keep the items for him. It then struck me that I should set up a "bank" to store these things for people in need," he said.

After meeting with others struggling to come to terms withformer relationships, Gong found out that many were stillsufferinglove sickness.

So, he organised events for thesepeople to sit together to talk about their problems and encourage each other to share their experiences.

"About 100 people have joined us to relieve themselves fromtroubles of their past."

"I remember a girl Xiao Wang, who 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 some have found new loves.
