Like many outdated or old electronics, the final days of life for a TV are waiting to be dismantled and disposed of. A young man called Li Meng in Jining, East China's Shandong province, however, has turned what would have been waste into wealth with his ingenuity.

From TV fish tanks to bottle speakers, these are just a glimpse of the eye-catching handicrafts from Li, who used to be a chef. He now has his own studio and even self-made tools for unconstrained creation, turning old, forgotten items into new gadgets while teaching thousands of people to take on a new art-form of recycling via live-streaming.
