“For a long time, I had no choice except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax myself,” Yang Chen from a computer business 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 shop, but he likes doing it. “It’s not as much fun to play with things which are bought expensively from the shops,” he said.

More and more young people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own. They like doing it themselves. Though making things with our hands may take much time, DIYers 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.

       Many places in the world need more fresh water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water
into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?
        In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of
heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea
water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.
        But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is
freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes (冷至結(jié)冰) first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. 
        Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way
for each place.
        Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It doesn't make very much water at a time. But the
factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi!
