The bitter cold winds followed the passing of the Spring Festival. On his way home from work, reporter Xufeng captured this unbelievable scene. A ragpicker was beating his daughter with a stick and forcing her to drag his cart full of junk while naked. The daughter was forced to her knees and cried without making a sound.
Surrounding the ragpicker were scattered bottles of liquor; he swayed left and right, standing unsteadily, clearly drunk and disoriented. But he continued to curse loudly. From his intermittent yelling, one could gather that it was probably because his daughter was incapable and unfilial that he had been forced to make a living by picking up scraps. When the kneeling daughter noticed someone taking pictures, she immediately pleaded for forgiveness from her father. The journalist called on his mobile phone to notify the 110 (emergency hotline).
Upon seeing the journalist call the police, the kneeling daughter quickly put on her clothes and left the scene, while the old man continued to yell curses at his daughter who was retreating into the distance.
