A Chinese man has been living in Beijing airport for 14 years

The newspaper “Daily Mail” revealed the story of a Chinese man who has been living for 14 years in Beijing Capital Airport, so that he can get away from his family and smoke and drink as he pleases.

Sixty-year-old Wei Jianguo considered that moving to 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 makes with his monthly government allowance.

Wei Jianguo’s home is located in Wangjing, about 12 miles from the airport, where he moved in 2008, and settled in Terminal 2, which is “the warmest,” according to Wei. His family home started 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 the cold.

According to the Daily, airport staff said: “Mr Wei is harmless, albeit drunk and sometimes loud.”

One worker said: “Mr Wei encouraged us to leave several times, but every time he gets drunk and loses his temper.”

The Daily Mail quoted China Daily as saying that Mr Wei is not the only resident at the airport, and in 2018 as many as six people were believed to be living like him.

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.
