Over the past 10 years, a teenager from Heilongjiang Province has amassed a large collection of memorabilia signed by his favorite athlete: Kobe Bryant.

过去的10年间，黑龙江省一位少年收集了大量由他的偶像科比·布莱恩特签名的纪念品。

Liu Zhe's collection, which includes sneakers, jerseys, and basketballs, got two new additions at his birthday this year when the retired NBA superstar sent him a team jersey and a pair of sneakers signed "To Liu Zhe, happy birthday -- Kobe Bryant".

The sneakers were the pair Kobe wore when he took to the court on March 23, 2016 – shortly before the end of his playing career.
