Two homeless men have been living on a tree in the Baoan district of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, for several months after urban management officers kicked them out of a train tunnel where they slept.

The two garbage collectors built a tiny tree house on a crotch about eight meters above the ground. They use ropes to climb up and down from their new home, which, they said, they "would never give up".
