DIY is very popular in China now. Do you know what it is? Yang Chen works for a computer business
in Beijing. Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him for relax after work."For a long time, I had no choice
except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax myself," he said.
One day when he saw many toys in a toy shop, he had an idea. "Why not do some kind of things and relax
myself?" Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. The thing he has made by
himself doesn't look as professionally made as those in the shop, but he likes doing it."It is not as 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 friends like them very much.
More and more people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own. They like to do it themselves.
Though making things with our own hands, may take much time, some people, now known as DI Yers...
do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much. They can make all kinds of things they like.
