Comments on Buskers of Beijing
Very impressive video...
I just feel for them but don't know what to say.
生活有很多种，这是其中的一种。
很感动。挺不容易的。以后一定要给点。
This is the only exception I make for giving out money in China. I encourage this kind of performance, it gives life to the streets. Beggars get nothing. Beggars who picked up an instrument which they play horribly just so it doesn't look like they are begging... they get nothing as well.
If you play well, can carry a tune and just so happen to be where I am, I will give out cash every time. Usually a 10 or a 20, simply because I support these guys who make life here a bit more pleasant.
