Begging has been a long-standing occupation in China. For years, professional beggars have been crowding busy spots like shopping areas, train stations, and airports. Some of them were professionals who arrived by car and made over 10,000 yuan each month. These beggars had various approaches, including showcasing skills, using physical disabilities, or taking on unusual appearances to stand out.
