Beijing man lives in nest

English 2005-04 27 Xinsrc 2820402271317240100585

A Chinese poet has built a spherical nest and mounted it on a 10 foot poll pole in a Beijing business district. He plans to live in the nest for a month.

Yefu took only a few necessary things with him, including a cup, a mobile phone, and bedding. Except for perhaps meeting some unsolvable problems, the poet will not leave the 4-square-meter space for the whole month. However, he will report his condition to the organizers by cell phone messages three times a day. The organizers will prepare dinners for him. Yefu hopes the nest life experience could help him write a new book
