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.

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 want something done, you had to do it yourself, and if you needed something you
made it yourself. But times have changed and DIY has a1so different meanings.

My father was no different. He preferred getting old shoes fixed to -buying new ones. Their marriage was good and their dreams were focused（集中）．Their best friends lived just a wave away. Though my parents have passed away, I can see them now - Dad in trousers, a T-shirt and a hat and Mom in a house dress, lawnmower（割草机）in one hand and dishtowel in the other.
It was the time to fix things -a curtain rod(挂帘杆),the kitchen radio, the screen door, the oven door, and so on. They fixed all things we had. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing and renewing made me want to scream.1 wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant being rich. Throwing things away meant you knew there'd always be more. I often thought like that.
But then my mother died, and on that clear summer night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I learned that sometimes there isn't any more. Sometimes, what we care about most gets all used up and goes away and it will never return. So, while we have it, it is the best that we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and cure it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage, old cars, children with bad report cards, dogs with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it and because we are worth it.
