DIY is very popular in China now. Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. He enjoys his work,but it is hard for him to relax after work.
"For a long time,I had no choice but to go to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax," he said.
One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop,he had an idea,"Why not make some things to relax?" Then he began to make model planes,model ships and something else. The things that he had made by himself didn't look as professionally(专业地)made as those in the shops,but he liked doing it. "It is not much fun to play with things which are bought expensively from the shops," he said. Now his bookshelves are full of many kinds of things he has made. They are very beautiful,and his family and friends like them very much.
More and more young people in China are like Yang,making things on their own. They like to do things themselves.
Though making things with their own hands may take much time,some people enjoy doing them very much. They can make all kinds of things they like. DIY is becoming more and more popular in China. It may be new to the young,yet many people remember when it was once a way of life.
During the 1960s and 1970s,when there were not enough daily necessities(日用品)for people to live on,they had to use their own hands to do many things. Whitewashing the wall and making clothes were part of life because there was no other choice. If you wanted something done,you had to do it yourself. And if you needed something,you made it yourself.
