    Haifei, a recent graduate, built his own portable egg-shaped house in Beijing as part of an architectural project. The tiny house used sustainable materials like bamboo and grass, and had solar panels to power a few electrical devices. It also had wood chips for insulation. Haifei lived in the two-meter tall house for three months, which had no bathroom or kitchen, so he ate out and showered at a local pool where he had a membership. Although it was only for a short time, Haifei enjoyed the experience and said he just wanted to play, demonstrating a positive attitude towards life.
