Unbelievable, right? Xia has a legendary experience. At first, he begged just for living. You may not know that he has suffered from the rheumatoid arthritis for a long time. In order to cure his illness, his parents have spent all their savings. Last year, Xia left his home and started begging. He made a sign and hung it over his neck. On the sign, you could see he wrote some words in Chinese and English to ask for help. He even distributed name cards to other people. At night, he went to the net bar to write his blogs. His blogs recorded his begging days. Sometimes, he read English novels on the street. I guess that no beggar did these before. In recent two years, he almost has been to all big cities. Now he has his own fans. More than one million people read his blogs on the internet. In February, he finishes his book on a laptop that was given by a good guy. In September, his book was issued. He said that he wanted to be a writer. Now he has realized his dream. As a free-lance writer, he can make money to cure his illness. Good luck to him.
