A SHENZHEN man is spending 500,000 yuan (US$65,000) to rent five booths at the China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industry Fair to display his 10-meter long, 780-character Han-style poetic prose about the city, Chinese-language newspapers reported yesterday.
Jia Yubao, who is in his late 30s and works at the Shenzhen branch of the Bank of China, recently completed the composition of the prose which he began three years ago, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported. “I did it after work every day. The writing itself was tiring, I have to admit, as the form of prose is very demanding in terms of rhythm and wording, but I like doing it and regard it as my hobby,” the newspaper quoted Jia as saying.
