80后小夫妻的“理想国”

The “Ideal Country” of a Post-1980s Couple

在大山深处辟一块地盖一间屋，自己种菜、养鸡；自己纳鞋、制衣；自己酿酒、酿醋、酿酱油；自己做皂、发电、纺线织布……在这里，有关生活的一切都能自给自足，忽然间仿佛回到了原始，但又充满着现代的气息……

In 2009, under the pressure of surviving high real estate prices, Tang Guanhua, a young artist from Qingdao put forward a 'Home Plan'. He wants to live a self-sufficient life and return to nature.ln 2011, he began to create his 'ideal country' with his wife Xing Zhen. Now, this couple has lived in seclusion for more than two years. During the two years, they learned many manufacturing skills. Almost all the things connected with life are made by themselves such as vinegar, sauce, sea salt, cloth shoes and cloth gown. 'In the future we will try to make more things'said Tang Guanhua. He plans to write a book named A Handbook of Making Life's Necessities the Self-sufficiency Way. The content of this book includes the simple manufacturing process of building, energy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and sugar. The final aim of Tang Guanhua is to create a self-sufficient ecological community.
