Chinese beggars!

Suddenly, several Chinese beggars appeared and surrounded them. One Australian gave some money to the beggars and asked the other two to leave quickly. All of sudden, a female beggar tugged at his arm, begging him for money. This time, he refused to give her money. However, the female beggar didn’t give up. She followed behind them and kept begging until they stopped in front of a taxi. The female beggar realized that the Australians wanted to go and then held an Australian’s arms tightly. Suddenly, the Australian fainted with foams at his mouth. Then the beggar ran away.

How can this happen? because the beggar draged him tightly? I can not judge if beggars who solicit in public places are "real beggars" now. I gave them some money in past few years, mostly to disabled. But for those who tagged along, I will never compromise.

But it is very hot in summer in Beijing. The Australians might not bear the hot weather. Meanwhile, he was very angry. As a result, he fainted.

Beggars are beggars, dear Lonely, and their behaviour always like most beggars. Some beggars may be richer than you. One time in Johore (Malaysia), the immigration caught a Chinese beggar, and she had more than RMB20k with her! From her passport, she arrived in Malaysia not more than 10 days. Everywhere people are kind and give alms to the beggars, in China, India, Malaysia, Middle East countries, etc. But I seldom see beggars in Thailand.

i gave some money to "beggars" who performing in the street .but i don't think they are beggars，they are artists (although someone is the uninitiated)who earn money and their dignity.

Under the directive of someone, she would cling onto the leg of the girl until her male friend relented and paid for the flower. It's quite amusing sometimes. This can be seen in crowded area in Dongmen.
