A five-day “true man show” will be held in Qinling Wildlife Park, and the park is recruiting participants at present.

There will be 3 men and 3 women participating in the show, in which they will live with 65 wild monkeys. A special training in living in harmony with monkeys will be given to the participants beforehand.

In the show, the participants will eat the same food as the monkeys (including the food from visitors), and rest on the same benches with them in the day. In the evenings, they can sleep in tents provided by the park. Of course, the participants can quit at any time.

This show being the first of its kind in China, it has already aroused a great deal of controversy. Some believe it will help protect endangered wild animal species, while many others claim it will disturb the life of the monkeys.
