Young women, some pregnant and others breastfeeding toddlers, who sell fake student IDs of all kinds, have become a phenomenon outside the east gate of Renmin University of China in Beijing.

Fake IDs of Peking University, Renmin University and Tsinghua are among the most frequently used, mainly to get discounts on tourist attractions.

A survey by China Youth Daily has found that most of them are aware of their delinquencies but nonetheless choose to stay active in the illegal business and use their pregnancies or motherhood to avoid punishment.

In one extreme case, a woman gave birth to six children so that she could always have one infant protector.

"She made three million over the years," one ID dealer named Wang Hong commented.

The survey also found very few of the women ever thought about the future, instead tending to "simply repeat past patterns."

北京,中国人民大学东门外,有着一道独特的“景观”。很多孕期和哺乳期的年轻妇女在街头揽活,售卖各式各样的假学生证。

北大、人大和清华的假学生证最受欢迎,主要用于景点门票打折。

《中国青年报》的一项调查显示,她们中的大多数都知道自己的行为违法,但仍然选择继续从事这一行当,而且利用她们是孕期和哺乳期妇女这一身份躲避处罚。

某个特例中,一名妇女先后生育了六个孩子,以便自己一直处于“婴儿保护伞”下。

“她这些年挣了三百万。”一位名叫王红的卖假证者告诉记者。

这项调查还显示,她们中很少有人想过未来,而更趋向“重复以前的模式”。
