"Mobile phones are like clothes. You’re worried to death when they’re out of power. It’s part of modern life. A colour ring back tone can make you happy."

It’s a nightmare, losing my mobile phone. It’s like having your hand cut off. Mobile phones are like clothes. You can’t go out without clothes.

"It’s like food, something you need every day. It’s my friend, and a great communication tool. I started using a mobile phone when I was 18. Yeah…"
What does your mobile phone mean to you? "It’s part of my life."
"My mobile phone is one of my closest friends.I always carry it with me. I probably talk to it more than to anyone. My mobile phone is like a limb, an extension of my body. It’s obvious. It’s transplanted onto my body, an extension of my hand."
"My mobile phone is my business card. People contact me by my mobile phone. If I turned it off, they’d criticize me. Why bother with a mobile phone if you always have it turned off?"
"Whenever I see one of my old mobile phones it reminds me of how I was back then. With a mobile phone I can keep in contact with my family. If my parents are ill or there’s some emergency at home, they can reach me. That’s the greatest advantage of a mobile phone. It’s the most direct, most convenient and fastest communication tool. I’m really worried when it’s out of power."
"The mobile phone is part of modern life. It’s a revolutionary invention. It’s changed our lifestyle and our values. We used to visit our relatives and friends, and communicated through telegrams or letters. Then we used telephones. Now we send short messages by mobile phone. We used to visit and send cards at Spring Festival but now we send short messages, even sending the same message to several hundred people at a time. Mobile phones have completely changed our way of communicating as well" as a number of social customs.
"Losing my mobile phone would be like losing a best friend. It’d be terrible. I never leave it behind. Once, when a colleague forgot his mobile phone I asked him why he didn’t go back home to get it. He said: 'It’s fine. Let it be.' Well, I couldn’t have done that. I can’t imagine living without my mobile phone. It’s possible that I don’t receive any short messages or calls for a day. But I find it hard to imagine. If I don’t have it with me, I’ll keep worrying that someone’s tying to contact me. If I didn’t have my mobile phone to hand I’d feel strange. Occasionally, I’ve left it at home. I felt like I’d lost something."
