Wei Jianguo is a 53 year old who left his house in 2008 after a quarrel with his wife over drinking inside the house.
He went on to live in Beijing Capital International Airport and has lived there for the past ten years.
He has been particularly enjoying his life at one of the busiest airports of the world.
The man is in possession of a make-shift kitchen and a blanket to save him from the cold.
The beijing airport has three terminals and is reported to have handled around 9.4 million passengers last year.
Wei is unemployed and therefore unable to afford any necessity. He finds the airport warm and cosy with free wifi and amenities.
He receives 1,000 yuan in government subsidies which he uses to buy himself food and other essentials. Usually he finds everything from within the airport shops and hardly leaves the airport.
