A (presumably) homeless man crosses the street at Caihong Bridge in Beijing. As is the case in numerous other developing countries (think: Slumdog Millionaire), many of China's supposedly homeless actually work for organized begging rings -- an incredibly sad situation in itself, but even more so because it brands all beggars as cheats, which surely must make it difficult for those actually in need to find a helping hand.
it is pretty sad that those who are really in need are regarded as cheaters too~Chinese civilians just learn more and more about the situation(most beggers are cheaters)so most of chinese ppl dont donate a little to them,really sad for those tramps
There is a saying for this situation, “give money to those who’s begging for food, give food to those who’s begging for money”. I think it’s a practical rule. But sometimes it’s just too embarrassed to be entangled, especially by kids.
