'Monkey King' cares for his primate pals

Hearing Shi's voice, macaques jumped out of the woods and ran across a mountain stream toward him. Shi took out a handful of peanuts and a few oranges, and the macaques immediately came forward to pick them up, circling around him and whooping.

A monkey climbed on Shi's shoulder, and started playing with his hair. "This monkey is responsible for keeping watch," Shi explained. "The other monkeys won't come over until it ensures there is no danger."

A little more than 10 minutes later, Shi had nearly 100 macaques in front of him.

Shi has been a "Monkey King" for nine years. He used to work at a mine in the neighboring county. The work kept him away from his home and caused the macaques to lose theirs.
