Photos: Man uses 100 kilograms of paper boxes to make a transformer for son

Recently a 35-year-old man named Xu Ou went viral in Ziyang city, southwest China's Sichuan province. He made a transformer with more than 100 kilograms of discarded paper boxes. At the noon of Jan. 30, Xu carried the super transformer out from home and displayed it in the plaza of Sanxian Park.

Together with his friends, Xu spent over 20 days to make this transformer using more than 100 kilograms of waste paper boxes and 1,000 screws.

"The inspiration of making an 'Optimus' occurred in my mind suddenly when I sent my son to learn drawing. I made the transformer—the embodiment of justice and gave it to my son and other children as a Spring Festival gift," said Xu.

"My son is studying painting in a fine arts training class. He often wastes things in daily life. I want to let him know that we can take advantage of the discarded materials to make pleasant things rather than buy them with money. When I finished the work, my son and his friends all liked it very much and the photo of the transformer was widely spread in the WeChat circle," Xu told the reporter of West China Metropolis Daily.
