The latest menace to grace the pristine streets of China consists of little girls accosting passers-by by clinging to their legs, refusing to release them until they agree to buy flowers.
Judging by how healthy and well dressed the girl is, a lucrative profession indeed…
i would take her home
I was a TESL teacher in China and i had this similar thing happen to me all the time. They go to clubs or anywhere were you have crowds (more foreigners, the better). Usually i saw them at dancing clubs or karaoke places around 10pm-3am ish, in groups of 15+ together. Lucky some older ones spoke reasonable english, so we would treat them to juices or food down the street, but man, some of them are scary (saw 10 them ones attack a man who was 6foot 5 inches, and was very well built)
Another time:
When i was walking to KFC (which is sadly healthier than my own country it seemed, lol), a 3-4 year old went in front of me, who was wearing clothes that looked like they didn’t get cleaned for 5+ weeks, went on her knees and was waving 2 rmb in front of me. I was confused at first, since if she was begging would you wave an hand in front. I noticed on the side a woman who looked very well off (higher than middle class), was laughing on the side about 6 meters away.
I later found out this woman was this girls mother, and that she took all the money her daughter earned to buy drugs for herself……
I feel sorry for these kids since some are forced to do this, while other times they just trying raise money for their families, but they find any way to get your money, from begging, to crowding (with pickpocketing added in), to very rare case attack
Awwwwwwww. pity 🙁
*shrug* She’s small, I’d just keep going with her attached. Of course that’s probably why she/they wouldn’t try it on a guy.
The same thing happened to me when I was in Wuhan,China on vacation. This little girl who was selling roses came and hung on to me for like an hour. My friends were on the floor laughing. She held on even after I gave her money!
