There are many millionaires in the new China - but there is no one quite like Hu Shulin.
He's converted a lifelong hatred of flies into a personal fortune - and earned himself the nickname Fly Man.
On any given day, you will always find him down at the meat market at Yu Yao, south of Shanghai.
This was his battlefield, where he engaged in hand-to-hand combat against his mortal enemy - the purveyor of sickness and disease.
Like a kung fu master with lightning reflexes, Mr Hu could literally pluck flies out of the air with his hands - sometimes five at a time.
The local vendors, reduced to swatting the flies away from their stalls with palm fronds, regard Mr Hu with affection.
