Narcissus , in mythology, a beautiful youth, son of Cephissus (the Boeotian river) and Liriope, a nymph. He loved no one till he saw his own reflection in water and fell in love with that; finally he pined away, died, and was turned into the flower of like name. Ovid offers the fullest version, probably recast for a Roman audience, and gives a philosophical sub-text.
He claims that Narcissus was punished for his cruelty to Echo: he repulsed her and she so wasted away with grief that there was nothing left of her but her voice . The story appealed to Roman taste: it is depicted in nearly 50 paintings from Pompeii alone; it was also the subject of a rhetorical description by one of the Philostrati , along with Ovid a source for the Renaissance and later responses to the myth. As an example of self-love, Narcissus acquired a global dimension with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytical concept of narcissism.

1、Why do people keep old things for a long time?
I guess the reason why people collect varies. You know, we do have a short memory, as time passes. We froget things and memories fade away. Therefore, people keep old things to help them remember the memory or time they had.
While for others, they collect antiques which might be because they think all these thingsn will be more valuable in the future.

女生版：
Of course, I did. When I was a child, my sister and I used to have an obsession with collecting Barbie CDs. At that time, the Barbie CD collection was considered as my biggest treasure. Before the internet went viral, watching CDs was one of the teenagers’ favorite pastimes.
男声版：
Literally yes./ A big yes
I was really fond of collecting toy cars and trucks, especially when I was a kid(toddler). You know, at that time, although my parents did not get much money to buy me toy cars, I still got a number of them in my bedroom. My favorite one was a remote control car that was at my 12th birthday gift from my parents.
