China is home to innumerable paranormal entities, from ghosts and ancient spirits to cryptids and UFO encounters, but one entity stands out in notoriety far beyond the others — The Yeren. The Yeren has been sighted and discussed in texts for thousands of years, but many people in modern times believe it to be mostly legend. But if that’s the case, why did the Chinese Communist Party spend millions of dollars in the 1970s trying to track down and then cover up the existence of the Yeren? This is the the rarely heard story of a cryptid finding itself at the centre of a political struggle — China’s most wanted cryptid.
