A 20-something man, his arms and legs chained, stood at a busy crossing in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, trying to sell the trademark of his still-unopened restaurant, last Sunday.

The man, surnamed Rao, said he had bought a house on loan a year back and could hardly afford to pay the mortgage now.

He said he had registered a restaurant, which never really saw the light of day, and wanted to sell the eatery's trademark.

"The chains were just to attract attention," he said.
