Certainly this post will discourage people from begging and will ecourage them towards the matter of self esteem. Search around you there is certainly a way out, for every situation.
The most efficient way to solve this problem is to make them understand themselves and self reliant, it will certainly take time.

It’s the first step, thanks for one who posted this article.

I was really surprised to see these photographs.

The developing country did not think that environmental
problems were such serious.

I like the busking element in the college student’s begging that at least his father was playing the erhu. That’s a lot better than taking a kid, or renting a kid for that matter, and pestering pedestrians. I probably would have given them some money.

Yes, as others have mentioned, great pics.

Beautiful pictures. Interesting story.

I’ve often wondered about the various types of beggars in China, especially since my Chinese friends tell me about various ‘beggar kings’ who build palaces on their fields with the money they make from panhandling. It was this village’s fortune or misfortune to attract the national spotlight due to a college student’s essay; there must be quite a few other villages that have had the same idea and haven’t yet been outed by one of their own.
