Using the quarantine time at home, a talented Chinese man has turned everyday items in his kitchen into scenes from many classic films, gaining over 30 million likes on social media.

Li Xiaodong, 39, a film post-production teacher in Beijing, has been working at home since the COVID-19 outbreak began.  

Since he spends a lot of time cooking at home, he came up with the idea to recreate some classic scenes in traditional Chinese martial arts films by using daily ingredients such as flour, potatoes and even grape stems.

He recreated a scene from the "Journey to the West" by combining the silhouette portraits he cut with a pile of flour and a piece of bread.

A romantic scene from the "The Dream of the Red Mansions" was created with several pieces of gingers as hills, some Chinese fennel as trees and flour as the ground.

By poking some noodles into a bowl of rice, a classic bamboo fight scene in the Oscar-winning martial arts film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was vividly created.

Even a bitten apple can be turned into a mountain in the scene of the film "The Climbers".

His creativity has amazed netizens on Chinese social media as well as the U.S. Hollywood movie star Will Smith. He reposted videos of him recreating the scene on his Instagram, with the caption saying: "I LOVE this! I guess working from home ain't ALL bad."

Li told Yangtze News that it usually took him two to three hours to film a 10-second short video, with even more time for planning the scenes. 

He needed to come up with the idea of what scenes to film first and what ingredients he could use to go well with the scenes, which takes him up to 10 days. After filming, he will process and photograph the pictures to make them more like the posters of the blockbusters. 

As a big fan of classic Chinese films and a filming enthusiast, he would like to share his passion by using various types of creative shooting methods. Now he has over 200,000 followers on Chinese short-video platform Tik Tok.
