Group of beggars in China leading lavish lifestyles
-
A group of beggars in Zhengzhou, China, are enjoying a lavish lifestyle at five-star hotels as well as shopping at high-end branded shops, reported Nanyang Siang Pau.
In a photo collage titled A day's life of China's professional beggar, it shows a "family of beggars" starting their day by eating hamburgers for breakfast at a fast-food restaurant; beef and beer for lunch, watermelon and popsicles for tea and dinner at a fine dining restaurant in a five-star hotel.
After dinner, they visited a Cartier shop.
The pictures were taken by a photographer who had been following three senior beggars.
The beggars would pretend to be sick and lay on the ground while another would plead to passers-by for money.
They would also feed the "sick" beggar with cold beer, poured into a bottle labelled as medicine.
It was reported that they could earn between RMB$2,000 (S$412) and RMB$3,000 a day.

Begging is a profession. Its akin to Bankers who are taking your money supposedly in good faith..

There are always this kind of people who make use of the sympathy of others to make a profit. In toa payoh I met this old guy who said his wallet was missing after a banquet and he needed 1.50 for travelling back. In good faith I gave him the money but the funny part was after 10 mins this same guy approached me with the exact story.
