Once met a senior American Engineer in a shoe store here in Suzhou. Turns out he had only been here for 3 weeks, I cautioned him not to give money to beggars because they are often part of an organised network.

I was aghast when he told me he had given 100 RMB to a beggar on the previous day. I smiled and told him to go to the site and ask the beggar for 98 RMB in change.

True story.
