A job advertisement in Hubei province, China, has gained significant attention by seeking individuals to portray "wild men" in the Shennongjia National Park. The position offers a daily wage of 500 yuan (approximately S$89) and aims to create an immersive experience for tourists. About 10,000 people have shown interest in this unique role.

The selected actors will dress as wild men—legendary figures described as around 2 meters tall with reddish-brown hair—and are expected to patrol the park while performing abstract dances. They must refrain from speaking and can only make sounds like "woo woo woo." Candidates should be capable of living outdoors for extended periods and must be comfortable eating raw food provided by visitors.

The recruitment is open to anyone with a healthy body, regardless of age or gender, including both extroverts and introverts. The work period is set for July and August, with accident insurance included; however, candidates need to arrange their own food and accommodation.

This unusual job opportunity reflects a growing trend in scenic areas where non-player characters (NPCs) are employed to enhance tourist experiences through interactive role-playing. Similar initiatives have been seen in other regions of China, where actors are hired for various themed roles at attractions. Experts suggest that these roles not only meet tourists' desires for unique experiences but also provide flexible job opportunities within the tourism industry.

Here are the biases I found in the text:

The text uses strong words to push feelings, making it seem like a unique and exciting opportunity for tourists. "Significant attention", "wild men", and "immersive experience" create a sense of excitement and novelty. This language helps to draw readers in and make them more interested in the story. The use of strong words like "wild" also creates a sense of adventure and danger, which can be appealing to some readers.

The text describes the job as an opportunity for people to live outdoors for extended periods, eat raw food, and perform abstract dances. This language creates a romanticized image of a primitive or natural lifestyle, which may appeal to some readers who are looking for an unconventional experience. However, this description also hides the fact that the job may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain health conditions or dietary restrictions.

The text states that experts suggest that these roles meet tourists' desires for unique experiences and provide flexible job opportunities within the tourism industry. However, it does not provide any evidence or sources to support this claim. This lack of evidence creates a strawman argument that assumes all experts agree with this statement without providing any proof.

The text describes the job as open to anyone with a healthy body, regardless of age or gender. However, it does not mention anything about people with disabilities or other health conditions being able-bodied enough for this role. This omission hides potential biases against people with disabilities who may not be able-bodied enough for this type of work.

The text states that candidates need to arrange their own food and accommodation during their work period in July and August. However, it does not mention anything about how much money they will earn during this time or how they will afford these expenses on their daily wage of 500 yuan (approximately $89). This lack of information creates an unclear picture about whether this job is financially sustainable for candidates.

The text mentions that accident insurance is included in the work period but does not provide any details about what kind of insurance coverage is provided or what types of accidents are covered under this policy. This lack of information raises questions about whether candidates are truly protected in case something goes wrong while working on this project.

The text highlights China's growing trend in scenic areas where non-player characters (NPCs) are employed to enhance tourist experiences through interactive role-playing without mentioning any potential drawbacks or criticisms from local communities affected by these initiatives.

The input text conveys a range of emotions that guide the reader's reaction and persuade them to consider the unique job opportunity. One of the most apparent emotions is excitement, which is evident in the phrase "has gained significant attention" and the fact that "about 10,000 people have shown interest" in this unusual role. This excitement is further amplified by the description of the job, which includes dressing up as a "wild man," performing abstract dances, and eating raw food provided by visitors. The writer uses action words like "patrol," "perform," and "eat" to create a sense of dynamism and adventure, making it clear that this job is not for everyone but might be appealing to those who crave something unconventional.

The text also conveys a sense of curiosity, particularly when describing the legendary figures as around 2 meters tall with reddish-brown hair. This curiosity is likely to pique the reader's interest and encourage them to learn more about this unique opportunity. The writer's use of descriptive language like "reddish-brown hair" creates a vivid image in the reader's mind, making them more engaged with the story.

Another emotion present in the text is enthusiasm for innovation. The writer highlights how this unusual job reflects a growing trend in scenic areas where non-player characters (NPCs) are employed to enhance tourist experiences through interactive role-playing. This enthusiasm for innovation suggests that there are new opportunities emerging in various industries, including tourism.

The text also has an undertone of flexibility and adaptability, particularly when mentioning that candidates need to arrange their own food and accommodation but will receive accident insurance. This practical aspect might appeal to readers who value flexibility and are willing to take on new challenges.

Furthermore, there is an underlying tone of optimism regarding job opportunities within the tourism industry. Experts suggest that these roles not only meet tourists' desires for unique experiences but also provide flexible job opportunities within tourism. This optimistic tone aims to reassure readers that there are viable career paths available within this industry.

To persuade readers, the writer uses various emotional tools such as repetition (e.g., emphasizing how many people have shown interest) and comparison (e.g., highlighting how NPCs enhance tourist experiences). By repeating key points like significant attention being drawn to this role or numerous people expressing interest, the writer creates a sense of momentum around this opportunity. By comparing NPCs with other themed roles at attractions elsewhere in China, they emphasize how innovative this approach can be.

Moreover, by using descriptive language like "reddish-brown hair," creating vivid images in readers' minds helps build trust with potential applicants who feel inspired by these descriptions. Additionally, highlighting accident insurance included provides reassurance about safety concerns associated with outdoor work.

Overall, these emotional elements work together to inspire action from potential applicants: they highlight an exciting opportunity for those looking for something different; create curiosity about what it entails; convey enthusiasm for innovation; emphasize flexibility; reassure about practical aspects; promote optimism regarding career prospects within tourism; use repetition and comparison techniques effectively; build trust through vivid descriptions; provide reassurance through safety measures mentioned – all aimed at encouraging interested individuals from diverse backgrounds (including both extroverts & introverts) aged 18+ years old regardless gender status apply now!
