Chinese 'Tarzan' lives on tree
Du uses a piece of plastic cloth as the
A man in the city of Shijiazhuang, China lives in a tree, just like Tarzan, lord of the jungle.
The 43 year old man, surnamed Du, has made his home in a tree located about 200 m away from a busy traffic junction.
Du is very good at climbing and can go up the tree within 5 seconds
Since 2007, he has been earning a living by picking up plastic bottles to sell.
He told local reporters that he only eats one bun each day, and that he once lived a box before he was driven out.
Du found the tree a month ago and finally made his "home" there.
A security guard at a bank nearby said the man usually lingers around outside in the daytime but climbs up to the tree to sleep each night.
"He never disturbs passers-by, but people usually worry about him," he said.
