How is this story uniquely Chinese or even interesting? Your heart's in the right place, but beggars are everywhere dude. In Sociology class in college I do remember reading that upwards of 90% of homeless people world-wide are women and children. 70% of those have a mental or physical handicap. Why not talk about how the Chinese discard their handicap relatives. A practice dating back to when productivity was emphasized and your family members were only as good as their ability to make money working in the factory. Now that's uniquely Chinese.
