A 77-year-old man who is apparently happy with more than 1,000 yuan ($146) in retirement funds and a house situated in a factory, has roamed the streets homeless in Chongqing municipality for the past 8 years.

Wang Jinlong, 77 and a retired manager from a factory in Hunan province, came to the city in 2001 because he hated the financial arguments between his brothers and sisters. "I like straying," the old man said.
