Help me now and I’ll pay you later, says Chinese ‘graduate’ filmed begging for cash

A man claiming to be a recent university graduate has been filmed begging for money – with a promise that he will pay people back when he becomes successful – in a video clip circulating on Chinese social media.

The twenty-something man was spotted on Wednesday sitting on a pedestrian bridge in Fuzhou, Fujian province beside a handmade sign saying: “It’s better to invest your money in me than a beggar.”
