　　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 to 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 toy dogs 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 things he has made by himself don’t look as professionally made as those in the shops, but he likes doing it．

　　“It’s 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 his families and friends like them very much．

　　More and more young 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 DIYers-do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing it very much．They can make all kinds of things they like．

　　DIY is becoming more and more popular in China．It may be to the young, yet many people remember when it was once a way of life．

　　During 1960s and 1970s, when there were not enough living things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things．Whitewashing the wall or making clothes was a 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．

　　But times have changed and DIY has also different meaning now．
