Do you know what shouzhang is? It is a diary with decorations (装饰品) like tapes, stickers (贴纸), drawings and other things. It started in Japan. And now it becomes popular in China.

Twin (双胞胎的) sisters Lin Ting and Mao Yue from Zhejiang become “stars” on the Internet because they make interesting shouzhang. These two 15-year-old girls are from Grade 8, Wenhui Middle School in Hangzhou. They record things about food, travel, pets, school life and other interesting things in their lives in their shouzhang.

The twins started to make their shouzhang about three years ago. “Nothing will be greater than to look back on these beautiful memories when we get old,” Lin said.

They write funny stories about their two pet dogs Dabao and Gege in their shouzhang. When Lin has too much homework to do, she writes about how she feels. “It makes me feel better,” Lin said. They also write about their favourite food and stars. Mao collected pictures of ice cream, coffee and her hero Zhang Yixing, and stuck them in their shouzhang. They always bring their shouzhang with them when travelling.

Both of them love and do well in drawing. They also have a big box of tapes and stickers. So they think it is easy and interesting for them to make their shouzhang beautiful.
