Recently, many Chinese expose, in the streets of Melbourne, Australia, startled the Chinese aunt "professional begging"! Kneel, kowtow, hand in hand bow, skillful movement, not a few. According to people familiar with the matter, many local people have contributed generously.
Melbourne street startled Chinese begging aunt
According to the Australian website, Ms. Wang said that on the evening of May 5, on the sidewalk at the intersection of Elizabeth St and Bourke St in downtown Melbourne, a Chinese aunt was seen kneeling on the ground, with some change in a box in front of her. The other box, with a few pink macarons, continued to beg for money from passers-by.
When Ms. Wang saw a sympathy in her heart, then there was worry and doubt: why did aunt not choose the roadside road, but was in the middle of the intersection of the road, which not only affected the normal passage of pedestrians? And it's not safe for the old lady herself?
Then, out of concern, Ms. Wang said to her aunt, "I can help you a little bit, but I hope you move to the side of the road right away and don't affect pedestrians walking. Why are you begging on the street?"
My aunt replied, "I came to Australia for a trip. I lost my wallet and couldn't go back all of a sudden. So I went to the street to beg, hoping to get help from everyone and save some ticket money to go back."
So Ms. Wang went up and asked, "which travel agency are you with? since you are traveling with a travel agency, the accommodation and ticket are arranged. Can you tell me which travel agency I am with? can I help you?"
Aunt did not answer a word to this kind of help question. At this time, Ms. Wang noticed that the aunt's kneeling is not directly kneeling underground, but a special mat!
During the conversation between Ms. Wang and her aunt, Chinese pedestrians passing by told them that the aunt wanted to cheat money! After hearing this, there was a burst of pain and anger in Ms. Wang's heart! I think Auntie's shameless begging behavior is in fact a disgrace to the face of the Chinese Australians!
It is not the first time that Chinese begging mothers have appeared on the streets of Melbourne. In April 2019, there were netizens, expose, and beggars on their knees near AusPost, near the junction of Elizabeth St and Lonsdale St.
The aunt was wearing a black plastic bag and a black knitted hat on her head. A piece of paper in front of her looked particularly bright. On this A4 paper, the following is written in English:
“Due to the husband suffering from leukemia，has Kean in bed only good in tention person to hey,to save his life.The good life of peace,thank you.”
Because his husband is suffering from leukemia and is sick in bed, he needs a good person to donate to help. A good man has a safe life. Thank you.
The aunt, dressed in a black plastic bag with a black knitted hat on her head, bowed on her knees and kowtowed and begged.
Aunt kneel on the side of the road, has been kowtowing frequently, the movement is very frequent. So some locals came forward and stuffed their change with their aunt. Aunt would say "Thank you". Part of the money was put in her pocket, and part of the change was put in the hat.
There are a lot of Chinese Internet users who see the back:
"if you are willing to fall, you are not worthy of sympathy!"
"the frequency and durability of this kowtow is professional at first sight."
"these swindlers don't dare to be compassionate. It's really hateful."
"in fact, there should be no begging in Australia, because if there is no money to rent house, government, temporary accommodation will be arranged. If there is no food, volunteers will distribute coffee, tea, sandwiches and other food near train station every night. If you are ill, locals with Medicare, tourists should take out travel insurance. So basically you don't have to trust anyone begging. "
Some Chinese have also seen such Chinese begging aunts in different areas. "I saw them in front of RMIT in the afternoon."
"I also saw one downstairs in QV the other day, and there was one under the Asian Champions League."
"there are traffic lights at Burwood train station, too. I want to know how they got here."
Not only Melbourne exploded the Chinese begging regiment, but also Sydney fell seriously! Near Martin Square in Sydney, a number of Chinese aunts begging on their knees also appeared in October 2018.
The way aunts beg is roughly the same, as this piece of paper says:
"my husband died of liver cancer, my son died in car accident, and I was ill. My grandson needs money to support our lives and needs money to support our lives. Thank you."

The compassionate Aussies have also been unable to see such a miserable encounter with the mother, some of the passersby extended their hands and gave them some change.
Chinese "professional beggars" spread to many countries, suspected to have behind-the-scenes manipulators
In the past two years, the Chinese begging aunts who appeared frequently in the two cities have made many Chinese feel puzzled and confused, and some people feel that they have really disgraced the Chinese people! In fact, in some countries around the world, there have been Chinese beggars, and there is a purpose and gane.
Chinese professional beggars arrested for cheating and begging in Thailand
At the end of 2018, the Thai Immigration Agency and the police arrest six Chinese "professional beggars" on suspicion of begging at scenic spots pretending to be disabled, in violation of the local law.
Most of these "professional beggars" are young men and women, 4 men and 2 women, the oldest 46 years old and the youngest 21 years old. They beg at tourist attractions in Thailand during the day and meet at night, earning no less than 2000 baht a day.
In addition to begging, six was acciused overstayed and will be subject to further investigation by the Immigration Agency. It is reported that although these people beg for small income, but each day they need to pay 1000 baht "profit" to the home. It looks like a serious professional gane crime.
There are also professional Chinese beggars in Malaysia.
In recent years, Malaysian media have begun to take up tourist attractions and early-night markets by professional begging from China.
According to local media reports, these professional beggars from China came to Malaysia to beg, mainly because of the kindness of Malaysian Chinese, without language barriers, the low cost of living, and deducting round-trip air tickets. After visa fees and basic living expenses, you can still earn a small sum of money.
Local media followed two beggars and found about 30 disabled and disfigured beggars gathered at a cheap hotel on factory street in Kuala Lumboz. After a leader appeared for hours and collected cash from the crowd, the beggar went back to his room to rest.
One of the beggars said in an interview that he was born with healthy limbs, but after being abducted at a young age, the criminal gane maimed him and imprisoned him for many years, only to take him abroad to beg. He also revealed that only "senior" beggars trusted by the leaders can go abroad.
With regard to income, the beggar said: "the amount of income depends on the degree of disability we have, and the more serious we are, the more sympathetic we are to tourists. We can make 4800 yuan a day on weekends," the beggar said.
