Actor goes undercover as beggar to pocket cash

For illustrative purposes only

An actor in China disguises himself as a beggar to collect cash from passersby.

Chinese professional actor Lu Jingang has been making a living by playing a poor beggar for the last 12 years, reporting that he has been making over 35,000 Dirhams or 70,000 Chinese Yuan monthly. This amount is in addition to the food he receives from the people he begs from.

To make his act more believable, he covers his face with dirt and wears shabby clothes, pretending to be poor.

He prefers to ask for money and food from kindhearted citizens in the renowned Qinming Shanghe Garden, a picturesque location in Henan Province.

According to Time Doctor, the average monthly salary in China is around CNY 29,000, which means that he earns way more than what people do in the country.
