8月7日，赵静在深圳的展示厅里工作。展厅的门帘是用装咖啡豆的麻袋改造而成的。赵静曾是一名服装品牌设计师，她发现人们在日常生活中会生产大量的垃圾，这对于生态环境是一种破坏，为了追求简单纯粹的生活方式，2015年她辞去设计师的职位，来到深圳梧桐山"捡破烂"，并改造这些物品。刚开始在梧桐山做旧物改造的时候，她的房东比较抗拒。但三年多来，赵静坚持自己的生活方式，把别人不穿的牛仔裤、旧家具等捡回家，用设计和创作把“垃圾”变成了生活艺术品，不仅扭转了房东的看法，还影响到周围的人们。“后来很多朋友都开始一起‘捡破烂’了，”赵静笑着说，自己目前带着改造品在国内多地展览，“不一定像我这样生活，但每个人都可以思考自己的需求到底有多少，删繁就简。”“我们生活在地球上，真的需要那么多物品吗？”赵静和她的朋友们，正在现代化城市里，尝试探索一种更加环保和纯粹的生活方式。[新华社 梁旭 摄]

Zhao Jing works at an exhibition hall in Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province, Aug. 7, 2019. Zhao Jing quitted her job as a fashion designer in 2015 and started to pursue a simple life by transforming items discarded by people into artful works. Her bold idea comes as she finds people are creating mountains of garbage every day, a lifestyle that is posing a threat to the environment. Once living in the downtown of Shenzhen, Zhao moved to the outskirts Wutong Mountain to carry out her attempt. For three years, Zhao insisted in picking up used items including discarded jeans and furniture to redesign them as artworks. Her efforts are paid off. People around her are being positively influenced and those who initially could not understand her become her followers. Currently, Zhao is expanding her presence by hold exhibitions with her works in many cities. By doing so, she hoped people could lead a simple life against the backdrop of consumerism. "People need to develop an environmentally-friendly and simplified lifestyle by cutting unnecessary demands to protect the earth where we are now living," she said. (Xinhua/Liang Xu)
