Hi, senior bro crew ... YES, hustling is hard ah .... but as the senior samsters taught both of us (me - beggar & my younger bro - zip4671), they also started out this way & make their way up....
My take, I prefer to say that we are part of the BEGGARS' GUILD of ancient Chinese society ...
Beggars’ Guild
Beggars’ Guild (丐帮; Gàibāng) was a fraternity organisation for beggars.
The Guild was the largest organisation in the lands with over ten million of members. Its membership extended across both banks of the Yangtze River, within and beyond the Shanhai Pass to the east and Jiayu Pass to the west. With its massive membership, it had a vast spy network.
Despite being made up of beggars, the organisation was not poor. The Guild invested in many projects and properties.
The Beggar’s Guild was founded in the Han Dynasty.
Organisation
The guild master (帮主; bāngzhŭ) was the leader of the Beggars’ Guild. The guild master carried the Dog Beating Stick (打狗棒; dá gŏu bàng) as the symbol of leadership. The guild’s elders nominated candidates who qualified in terms of martial arts prowess, contributions, and standing within the guild and in the jianghu, and other factors.
The guild was organised into divisions (分舵; fēnduò). Each division operated within a certain area under the leadership of a division master (舵主; duòzhŭ).
