| Is there any official agency for looking after the poor and homeless in China? Do people living ont eh streeet have support for their basic needs like water and food?
When I was in SH in October, I saw some old people picking plastic bottles and collect them for exchange at recycling station, I was saddened by the sight as some of them reminded me of my own grandparents. At times I saw they beg for people not to give them their (empty) drinking bottle), yet the youth sometimes just throws the bottle into a river or a dump delibrately! I felt pretty angrey about this. As a general rule, I only give money to the eldly beggers as they are tend to be most vulnerable, and instead of money, I always bag the left over (clean food) from a restaurant if I can't finish it, and give them to the homeless. |
