Hi Jianshuo, there must be laws in your country to save and protect the Child beggars. It is really sad to see the poor children being abused.

Many years ago, I had seen a lot of Child beggars on my first trip to China after finishing high school. It was terrifying when all of them about 10 surrounded me and begged for money, later the hotel security came to the rescue.

Two years ago in Suzhou, I was told by my Taichi teacher not to give money to beggars, they were not local and some were pick-pockets. Through out my stay in Suzhou for 1 month, I was harassing by the Xinjiang kids or beggars at least 2 times per day, Whenever I need to travel further, my teacher would accompany me. Sometimes, I felt so sorry for them when my teacher was so harsh on them.

Too bad, I am not the resident here. I really want to help these poor children. Where is the "Muhammad Yunus" of China?? Where are the wealthy men?

I want to work for them if they are setting up a charity organisation to help the unfortunate. "Give them a fish they eat for a day. Teach them to fish they eat for their whole life"

Shanghai here I come! May be next year, have to save money for the airticket.
