A man locked up in bonds went on parade at the 9th China International Real Estate & Archi-Tech Fair (CIHAF) in Beijing on Tuesday.
The wooden bonds carried upon by the man, mimicing the ichnography drawings of an apartment, easily remind people onsite of a poor "House Slave", who are being suppressed by the heavy burdens of a housing mortgage.
The man, Liang Kegang, is an action artist. He said he was using his action art to help raise concern for the "house slaves", a potential population around the country who have to spend a huge amount of their family income on mortgages following their already big down payment.
Nowadays more and more Chinese urban residents have unfortunately become "house slaves" due to ever-surging yet abnormal housing price hikes.
