I surf Youtube for the song "Really missing you" played with Erhu (真的好想你 二胡)

And I accidentally found this: Equation, would you be kind enough to take her home, so that she won't have to beg along the streets.

Im sure the buskers will be horrified at you for referring to them as beggars.

The way the earn money are really similar. People from Vietnam and Cambodia usually aren't familiar with the term "busker", they're not much different. Look at a few buskers in Vietnam as below:

A genuine beggar will say thank you, should you give him something, a busker will give you a migraine irrespective on you giving him something
On one occasion I was walking along central downtown Auckland and came across an elderly mainland Chinese busker playing his erhu. I cant say I enjoyed the music as it sounds rather strange to me but I gave him a few coins anyway I came across him the next day in a Suburb at least 20 miles from where I first saw him, sitting there playing his erhu .. boy he gets around for a old fella.

Here in America we call them street artist or street performers. These guys moved around a lot in various hot spots around the city. They go where the crowds would be at (especially in Houston where the car is king) in ball games, music out door gatherings, and such.

well shit, this is my home town...
Well in NZ you have to have a license to be a street performer/busk. and then it was only for a limited time and a nominated place from where one would busk. In the days as a junior cop when I walked the beat I was required to check on their permits..... yada yada. In a way I sorta admire the elderly who leave their comfort zone and come out with their children to a foreign country. so I kinda looked the other way.

When the parents of the girl found her unusual, they were worried and approach doctors for help; the main problem here (my opinion) is doctors' attitude toward complaint from the parents "OK la, you worry too much la, this is normal la, blah blah blah". As a result, the girl died. Whose fault? Apparently, the doctors have to take the responsibility.
