In old China, there was a profession called begging, which occurred in various cities and villages, and formed a unique group - "beggar gangs". This "gang" has its own organizational form and operating rules.
Most of the members of the "beggars" come from poor families in rural or urban areas. They do not have a stable income from their jobs and can only make ends meet by begging. They often have nothing to do and their lives are very difficult. In this case, joining the "beggar gang" became one of their options.
The "Beggar Gang" does not just join to become a part of it. If you want to join, you must go through rigorous testing and training. New members need to be trained in some basic begging techniques, such as how to attract people's attention, how to subtly ask people for money, etc. At the same time, there are certain rules and disciplines to observe, such as not stealing food or property from other beggars, and not physically attacking others.
Once you become a member of the "Beggar Gang", you need to act in accordance with the order of the gang. These orders include: respect for elders, obedience to leaders, joint distribution of begging proceeds, and so on. In order to maintain consistency within the gang, there will also be a special person responsible for managing and coordinating all aspects of affairs.
Although on the surface, the "beggar gang" seems to be a self-governing and self-governing group, but in reality it is influenced by various forces. On the one hand, the government and all sectors of society are trying their best to solve this problem by providing more employment opportunities and social protection measures. On the other hand, criminals often take advantage of this group of people to engage in theft and other illegal activities.
The "beggar gang" is a unique phenomenon in the old Chinese society, reflecting some of the problems of the society at that time. Much has changed, but we still need to focus on those who are living in difficult circumstances and provide them with help and support.
