The seven illiterate men were employed in a local factory. Their boss asked them to sign on a piece of paper, which they did.

Days later, they figured their boss had fled town with a bank loan of 3 million yuan, for which they had signed as warrantors.

The seven villagers fled town three years ago and returned only when their boss was arrested last month.
