Four people wearing red cone-shaped caps and red robes walked through the busy streets of Wuhan on Wednesday peddling themselves as mobile advertising space, reports Chutian Metro News.

With their robes sporting the slogan "Serving society - if there is no job, create a job", Xu, 45, and Chen, 42, both from Henan Province, said they had previously spent 10 days as moving ads for a pharmacy in Zhengzhou back in their home.

They invited two young men to join them after they arrived in Wuhan. While the four attracted the gazes of many passers-by, no one has approached them to do business so far.

Chen said they did not mind people staring at them. If they failed to be hired in Wuhan, they would go on to Changsha, Hunan Province, they said.
