After deciding to move into a new house, Liu Zhen, a full-time mother in Beijing, brought in a home organizer. As a result, she threw away 50 percent of her clothes, shoes and books. “The process of tidying up my house brought peace to me and made me feel organized at heart,” she said.
Like Liu, more Chinese people have started to ask for help from home organizers to follow simple lifestyles, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Having a comfortable living environment became more necessary for people who were driven to work at home.
Yezi, 27, has loved organizing things since she was a child. Although other children would like to throw their schoolbags on the floor and run out to play with their friends, Yezi preferred to put her books and pencil box on the desk and help her mother fold shirts.
Today Yezi still practices tidying up in her own life. She thinks it has quite a few advantages. It helps people look into themselves by reviewing their lives. It brings beauty to one’s living space. It’s also a way to improve relationships between people.
Did Yezi face any difficulties while organizing things? Yes. It is a tradition to treasure things in China. Most people are not in the habit of throwing away useless things. “I’m trying to get people out of it,” Yezi added.
