 A hard work mentality

I grew up believing that the Chinese are a hard working people with no beggars on the streets. The TAZARA project demonstrated the working behaviour of the Chinese to us: they were workaholics. But I came to realise not all Chinese are workaholics. On the contrary, there are number of beggars on the subways and on the streets, plus homeless people too. Our view was that because of socialism and the hard-working nature of the Chinese, beggars and homelessness were only in the West.
