Hi exlife,

Maybe the picture is too big to upload. Make the picture smaller and try again.

We are waiting for your picture!

Sorry, I don't believe him, like I don't believe all the other young and physically able people but choose to sit(or knee down) beside the street and begging...

The guy in the picture is probably a professional beggar panhandling his way through life. We call them panhandlers because we are skeptical of their situation. Most of us believe their status is self imposed. This guy probably loves China because he thinks he'll find some place to buy high quality opium.

In the United States, it is true that some panhandlers make more money than working people.

I saw two children begging on the streets of Shanghai in 1978. When I approached to give the children ten yuan, the local people crowded me out.

Many beggars approached me this time in both Shenyang and Beijing. I guess they could see my big heart. My lady friend would not allow me to give them money.

...maybe he's there to stake out his territory before the 2008 Olympics!

Hopefully he'll have a run in with the police.
