It's important to be able to indicate "from a certain time on" when expressing a situation or event that occurred after said time. The "自……起" structure is especially helpful and easy to use in order to express "from (time) on."
 
 
 
== Structure ==
 
 
 
<div class="jiegou">
 
自 + time (date, year, decade) + 起,  result/situation
 
</div>
 
 
 
== Examples ==
 
 
 
<div class="liju">
 
 
 
*<em>自</em>我记事<em>起</em>,奶奶就已经很老了. <span class="trans">My grandmother has been very old since I can remember. </span class="trans">
 
*<em>自</em>有共享单车<em>起</em>,我再也不想走路了. <span class="trans">Since I used the bike share, I have not wanted to walk. </span class="trans">
 
*<em>自</em>他找到工作<em>起</em>,他就没有那么低落了. <span class="trans">He has not been so down since he got the job. </span class="trans">
