A Little Beggar Child In China

小小乞丐

From Sina: “The Little Beggar”

These days, being a beggar has become a type of job. Large streets and small alleys, you can see them everywhere. Basically, they are all organized and disciplined. and wide in variety. The young ones organize behind the scenes so that the children and old people go beg, not for food, but for money. For some, if you give them food, not only will he refuse, he will also yell at you. The money they beg for must be handed over to those above them. Even worse, the phenomenon of holding onto young girls and not letting them go in order to successfully get money happens too often. Dealing with beggars has become a kind of burden. Dealing with one group after another, it is truly annoying. What makes people feel the most unhappy is using children only a few years old to go beg. Doing this is a kind of abuse towards children, a kind of destruction, that will result in great harm to their growth and psychological health. Because of phenomenon like this, all of society should pay more attention towards children beggars, and safeguard children’s lawful rights and interests. Towards those manipulating behind the scenes, society should also investigate responsibility, so that these children can live, learn, and grow up healthy like normal children.

Comments from Sina:

单纯的色:

Whatever allows you to live is wonderful, hehe, so why insult beggars? Why do you not talk about beggar’s helplessness?

薛风:

To be a beggar, one also needs courage, because life is shit. But with regards to underage “beggars,” the government and society should take responsibility for their duties under “the Constitution” and “Underage Protection Law”…

e抽刀断水:

Is there anyone who can save this child? What kind of person he will become in the future???

正义的阳光:

What a cute child!
What will his future be like?
Pitiful, tragic, unfortunate, detestable!

鹏程520万里:

It does not matter if he is a professional beggar or if he was forced,
a child is always innocent.
When they see this kind of situation,
I do not know what the hell our worthy government is doing.

工人的呐喊:

How will he get past this winter? Who is that man beside him? “Father”, “relative”, or “bad man”? Is there no department to verity that?…so sad.

yueyue_0105:

These days, I no longer dare to believe beggars, chasing you to beg for money. Even though he is small, he is still a little…do not say that I do not have sympathy, I have already been cheated by beggars n times.

女人就是要性感:

So sad!! What can he do after growing up? He cannot be like this his entire life!

liuhuanyu165:

Professional beggar, there is no need to pity him.
These children are also victims, the detestable thing are those adults who use sympathy as their tool for making money.
Arrest them and shoot them all.

孤独鹤:

Everything is done to survive.
What they need is not attention but help.
No one with a job, money, or works in the government goes to beg.
Help our compatriots who beg to survive.

天蓝色的彼岸:

I do not know when Chinese became like this? Is it their fault our our fault?
The world should be perfect! But what is it like in his world!?? What exactly are we doing?!!
Everyday feasting, living luxuriously, and wasting!! Indeed, living like we have no conscience!! I suddenly feel the world is like hell!!

神仙pa左手:

The smiling face in the third picture is the same innocence as so many other people’s children!! After all, he is still too young, there is much he does not know or understand…children are innocent. The government ought to start doing something, right? … (Please allow me to naively think like this, Buddha preserve me!!)…

宛心:

Talking about beggars, everyone will very naturally think of that pitiful person with dirty, ragged clothes, extending a hand to beg. A sympathetic heart, everyone has. Facing those people who have such miserable and bitter fates, there is probably no one who would not automatically reach into their pockets and feel around [for money].

tfyt1984:

…the child is innocent, even if the person next to him is his father. So why are they like this? Maybe this is the only way to survive…maybe only such an innocent child can successfully beg for money. If it was just his father by himself, would you give? He is so innocent, so cute…look at this smile…little naughty…not a thread of hypocrisy. His innocent, anxious, naughty expression is so penetrating. Maybe life is just like this. There are tens of millions of people who are all like this…

213518260:

In the whole world, only in China is the “servant” [government] living a more comfortable life than the “master” [the people]! Only in China! The feeling of “being the master of one’s house” is nothing special.

aisizanyang:

Just like me, I was born in a very poor family. When I was one years old, my father passed away! But my mother would not go be a beggar!! In my opinion, no matter what kind of people we are, we would not be beggars!! We should have our our dreams and ideals!

石头石头:

This child has no shortage of cuteness. If you change him into a set of new clothes, he would be very likable. The regret is that he has “sunk” to this level. But as a profession that is not a profession, a beggar’s existence is inevitable.

给你微笑:

There are those who use our sympathy to trick us into helping. That is why people these days have all been cheated numb!! Therefore, there are those who need our help but do not get our help.
