A woman has collected her mother-in-law's hair for the past 14 years.
Yao Shuhua, 50, of Qingxian County in northern China's Hebei Province, collects hair from husband Xie Xiufang's mother's head twice a day, Rex Features reports.
"I heard combing hair is good for her health, so from 14 years ago each day I comb her hair twice while also giving her a head massage," she explained
"Each time I would collect the dropping hair into a steel box and when the box can't contain more I take out the hair ball out and stuff it into a bag."
Yao, who moved in with her mother-in-law to take care of her, added that she will give the 5kg bag to her children as an example of how to show kindness and respects to one's elders.
