The little girl said, "Why do they be beggars?"

Mom said, "Because they are poor and have no money."

The little girl said, "Why are they poor?"

Mom stopped talking and didn't know how to answer.

The little girl said again: "Where is their home?"

silence……

No city will prohibit begging.

A textile female worker who was off the night shift once saw a horrified scene: at the intersection where she was going home, more than 20 men in black appeared. They were weirdly posing, some were lying and sleeping, some were sitting on the ground and shaking their heads, some stood and stared at the sky in a daze, some were muttering, some were shouting, all of them were ragged and smelly.

Beneath civilization and under the soil of society, there is another world.

A 76-year-old man pretended to be a beggar and begged for two months undercover, spending more than 10,000 yuan at his own expense, uncovering the dark stories of murdering and coercing stray children to beg. The investigation notes he wrote were long-form instructions from the state leaders. This respectable old man is Cao Dacheng, a retired cadre living in Shenzhen.

In his investigation notes, we can see that beggars have become professional, organized, grouped, and have a gangster color. They gather together according to their hometowns and draw the land as boundaries. If someone infringes on their territory, a group fight will break out.

Every city has urban villages, low houses, dilapidated streets, and garbage everywhere. When you walk in, you will see a few thin and dirty children hitting a clay pot with branches. When you leave, the children are still knocking.

There are a large number of beggars renting in Yuexi New Village, Tangxia Village, Huacheng.

This is a corner that cannot be despised. The filth gathers here and the dregs settle here. Let us jump into this septic tank and walk into the depths of these people's souls. Various odors are mixed together, and we can only see the bizarre dark scene, some are like humans, and some are not human-shaped. They crawl in groups and gather into a monster: the Beggars' Sect.

They are also a link in social order.

When begging is no longer because of poverty but because of laziness. When begging becomes a profession, any logic becomes a mess here, and self-esteem has no place to stand here. They are also somewhat light when they get together. In the interval between two deceptions, so many eyes that have never shed tears flash with greed and yearning for life. Apply self-made sores during the day to ask for money, and at night to turn into robbers to rob money. Sewage flows in and out, and these parasites with sound limbs walk from dark nests to the streets and alleys of the city. Roundworms can also turn into pythons, and they swallow more things than we think. People keep falling into this group, taking other people's sympathy and compassion as their source of life, starting with laziness and ignorance as their end.

Of course, there are also some real beggars who are not for life but for survival, for example, people with disabilities.

The following section of Lotus Falling is sung by an old beggar, which means that these words come from the inner world of a beggar.

He was paralyzed from his lower limbs and had a homemade car with both hands, as if the sea was around him.

He begged along the street with quick steps every day.

(White) Come here, come here again!

The sun shines on the western wall,

Looking at my torn clothes.

Beggar clothes, beggar hat.

It's the same thing as last year.

The bamboo boards shattered the streets,

Worship the Three Deeds and the Nine Rates.

Bamboo boards, come into the street,

Good deals on one street and two roads.

Gold sign, silver sign,

I haven't come these days

All walks of life make a fortune.

If you want to worship, I will worship you from house to house.

It’s not a surprise to worship the God of Wealth.

There are rules in the family and principles in the conduct,

Now the streets are not easy to ask.

I'll go to the vegetable market first.

Go and go, go and go,

I met an old man selling green onions.

Big brother, sell green onions,

You made contributions when you were young.

Brother, you are not simple.

I'll praise you.

Big brother, don't be deaf, don't be blurred,

Can live two hundred and eighteen.

Talk about scallions,

One head is white and the other is blue,

The beard is messy below,

Just like Jiang Jie left Nanjing.

Bring more, sell fast,

Three ditches and two ridges are not enough to sell,

It can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan a day.

Sell ​​for money, build the house,

It’s best to marry a wife for the eldest son.

Build an east house, another living room,

We must set up the incense platform.

Gaomen Tower, Daiyanggou,

The sycamore tree planted outside the wall,

It is easy to walk on my grandson's journey to study.

It must be the honest official who kept his name.

(White) Big brother, how many cents do you give me?

(White) Zhong, I just sold it for more than eight yuan, I will give you 50 cents.

Bend down and go and get the money.

The eldest sister next to me is selling lotus roots.

(Blanc) Big Brother, stop singing, I came late with my child and it hasn't opened the market yet.

I will take care of the people who go out.

The eldest sister led a college student.

Don't bother if you don't sell it.

Brothers advertising for promotion.

Beijing, Shanghai,

Harbin, Yantai,

There are also those who return to Macau,

Don't buy others to buy yours.

The lotus root is white, so easy to sell.

It's not enough to sell if you bring less.

Sell ​​hard, sell cleanly,

Sold without a ounce of left,

I can't carry the money I sell,

You rent a three-wheeled triple home.

(Bai) This big brother, I wouldn't give it to you. You sang well. Oh, I'll give you a penny first, let's go!

Walking through one after another,

I met the elder brother and praised him.

This big brother is not bad.

Riding a rickshaw to sell celery.

This bike is light at both ends.

You don't ride both ends.

Say celery, celery,

Stir-fried pork shredded pork slices,
