A man in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, is renting out his back to anyone who pays to advertise on it. And he got his first client on Friday.

Surnamed Huang, the man carried a personal ad from a blind man seeking a wife. He was paid 100 yuan (US$14.6) to walk around with the ad for a day.

"I wanted to have 500 yuan for a day, but the client is blind and I gave him a cheaper price," he said. A medicine factory offered him 500 yuan to carry its ad.

Huang plans to expand his business and he hopes to employ others to carry advertisements on their backs.
