A Chinese has been living in Beijing airport for 14 years..for a strange reason
The newspaper "Daily Mail" revealed the story of a Chinese man who has lived for 14 years at the Beijing Capital Airport, to be able to get away from his family and smoke and drink as he pleases.
Wei Jianguo, 60, explained that his move to live in Beijing airport was the best solution for him, so that he could smoke and drink as much as he wanted, and that if he returned home, he would have to quit drinking and smoking, which he usually does with his monthly government allowances.
Wei Jianguo's house is located about 12 miles from the airport, where he moved in 2008, and settled in Terminal 2, which is "the warmest". His family began sleeping in railway stations and then settled in the airport, and he does not like to go out even if he has to go shopping in order not to catch a cold.
According to the Daily and "RT", airport employees said: "Mr. Wei is harmless, although drunk and sometimes loud."
The man is not the only resident at the airport, and in 2018 as many as six people were believed to be living like him, the Daily Mail reported, citing the China Daily.
It is reported that the most famous inhabitant of the airport in the world is the Iranian Mehran Karimi Nasseri, who lived in Terminal 1 in Paris Charles de Gaulle for 18 years from 1988 until 2006 when he was hospitalized.
The refugee Mehran Karimi Nasseri, on which the 2004 movie The Terminal was based, was forced to stay at Paris airport after British authorities sent him there due to his failure to seek entry to Britain, and the French authorities refused him entry and left him stranded at the airport.
