Dai found renting an apartment in Beijing may leave him penniless at the end of each month.
He decided to build the egg-like house using bamboo and laid it on the lawn near where he worked. He even installed the house with a solar module, which cost 970 yuan and added wheels so that the house was movable.

Dai was born in Hunan province and graduated from a local college this summer, and now works for an architecture company in Beijing.
Dai said his parents hoped he would buy an apartment and find a girlfriend to get married.
But he said they did not know it may cost between 200 and 300 years worth of his parents' salaries to afford such a life.
