Chinaman Devoted To The Yeren

Chinaman devoted to the Yeren, a life-long passion: From the Net: "One Man's Inspiring Story About China's Bigfoot."  A Bigfoot story and analysis.Like the Swiss-Canadian, Rene Dahindren, Li Guohua has been infected with the Bigfoot - rather, Yeren - bug most of his life. Dissimilar to Rene, Guohua did not abandon his family to pursue the Yeren, and he did see him, several times. He even shot at the Chinese Bigfoot on one occasion, but happily his gun did not go off because his powder was dry. He was apparently still using a muzzle-loader. Guohua is now in his sixties and is retired on $313 a month for a family of three. In 1972 he was working in a Muyo town and saw several Wildman footprints. As you would suspect, he had already heard stories about them. He started his search for the Yeren later when he worked as an actor and had the time and energy to hunt. His first encounter with Bigfoot was on February 28, 1980. The Wildman appeared to be stalking him so Li hid behind a tree and waited. He remarked that the creature resembled both a man and an ape. The Yeren was covered with red hair and walked like a man. Li shot at him, but the powder was damp. Li has now been looking for the Yeren for thirty years, but still does not have a picture or body.
    Nick's Analysis: It is good that Li stayed with his family and contributed to their support as he followed his obsession. Rene Dahindren did not. He abandoned his Native American wife and two sons to try to photograph Bigboot primarily in the Canadian Northwest. He was very secretive and did not share information with other Bigfoot camera-hunters. He supported himself by inventing a way to retrieve spent lead shot from trap and clay pigeon shooting ranges and lived in a small camping trailer. I saw a cruel picture taken of his two sons in front of a Bigfoot statue in the Northwest. I say "cruel" because Rene left his sons for Bigfoot. Fortunately, his wife did not hold that against him and demean him in front of their children. At least the damage done to those two boys was lessened by her generosity.
