Shennongjia wild man job in China offers 500 yuan daily to 16 lucky hires from 10,000, all tasked with howling, abstract dancing, and eating raw food for tourists. Trending searches ask “What is the Chinese Wild Man?” and “Can you get paid to live in the wild?” One applicant quipped, “Who can refuse a job that can be mad and earn money?”

Abstract dances and woo-woo howls aside, only 16 of 10,000 will don the reddish-brown hair and avoid speaking—unless it’s a low, guttural cry. With 20 fan groups recruiting via short-video platforms and “What do wild men eat?” trending, the scene resembles a cosplay festival crossed with an episode of Survivor. As the ad puts it: “You may bring your own tent and gather daily necessities independently… and you should run if confronting unknown creatures.”

Despite 10,000 eager applicants, just 16 will win the chance to perform abstract dances, record hidden-camera wild man diaries, and possibly be fed by tourists in Shennongjia National Park.
