Beggars beg with QR codes. What do you think?

Now, beggars on the streets are true or false. Some professional beggars regard begging as a profession. Sometimes they reach out for money. Maybe you have used "no change" to prevaricate, but now, beggars in Jinan have used their unique skills: a beggar appeared with a basket in his hand and a QR code printed on it. Netizens exclaimed that beggars are now informationized. (Jinan Times, April 17)

When discussing this issue, our primary concern is the actual situation of these beggars, or whether they are really poor or fake poor. At present, "kowtowing in the city and going home to Gai Lou" is not uncommon. This kind of begging behavior that subverts the concept of beggars should not be allowed in a civilized society and a society ruled by law. This phenomenon should be corrected.

We should not only fail to sympathize with those swindlers and beggars who are lazy and even pretend to be disabled, but also crack down on them. Those "beggars' gangs" who manipulate minors and disabled people to beg behind the scenes should be severely punished according to law.

However, if beggars are disabled and helpless old people, they should be given sympathy and help. And in what way they collect money and goods from passers-by, they should not be demanding. It should be noted that the popularity of mobile phones to beggars, to a certain extent, is also a manifestation of social progress.

Today is the era of smart phones. According to statistics, in 216, the penetration rate of mobile phones in China exceeded 96/1 people. Moreover, mobile phone access fees and call charges are much lower than before. A beggar owning a smart phone may no longer be regarded as "high consumption" or a symbol of "wealth".

In this way, beggars who use QR codes to beg can also be regarded as a kind of "keeping pace with the times" in the information age. Beggars who use mobile phones are just a "modern version" of traditional beggars, and there is nothing strange about it. The key is not to let fake beggars wander around the city and deceive the sympathy of pedestrians.

Beggars who can't tell the truth from the false have indeed caused some adverse effects on society, and those behaviors that pester pedestrians and insist on importunate things are even more harmful to the interests of the masses. However, after these behaviors were exposed, people's assistance to beggars has also shrunk, because it is impossible to identify true and false beggars, and some people even hate all begging behaviors, which easily makes beggars who really need help be left out in the cold.
