On May 13, a young man who was sitting in front of a hand written sign in the Dazhou Central Square in Sichuan province advertised for beggar workers. The sign said that he took a training course about how to become a professional beggar in 2009 in Shanghai. After that, he begged on almost all the streets in Sichuan. He stressed that making thousands of yuan per month was not a big deal, which was better than an office job, according to Chinanews.com
