“All my family members gathered several times to recall and discuss the details, including the room layout, furnishings, articles for daily use and the colors of windows, which made us feel quite excited,” he said. “My mother even drew a sketch of a cabinet we used.”

Moreover, Wang drove 30 kilometers to the old house that had been condemned three times to measure its size before starting work.

Wang spent about 800 yuan ($115.8) buying more than 60 types of materials and built the landscape according to a 1:35 scale.

After finishing, he sent the miniature to his parents as a gift.

“I hope it can make them feel the life we lived in the house in the past,” he said.
