The Yeren, Yeti’s cousin (China)

I have no TV at home, so most TV watching I do is when I am travelling. One night I was tuned to CCTV9 -the English broadcast of Chinese state television and I found this story. Didn’t know that there was a yeti like wild man” or yeren in Hubei province too.

These guys were driving along the highway when they spotted something strange. CCTV takes them back to the site and recreates the story.

Did some google and found this


TRACKS of the wild man” (the Chinese big-foot or yeti) have been found again in Shennongjia in Hubei Province, where people saw a human-looking animal walking on the highway, according to the China News Agency. The area is famous for reported sightings of wild man” tracks. But there is still no definite proof of the existence of such an animal. Now experts are launching a fresh investigation there.

Also noticeable, Chinese TV has so many medicine ads.
