Pugilistic world performers are all eastern beggars.
The young beggars of the city are all western managers.
Some have been unfortunate since childhood; others have been kidnapped.
Those young beggars with weaker dispositions endure humiliation all their lives and must hand over even the copper coin they beg, managing at best a communal meal, eventually dying in disease and cold.
Some clench their teeth and forge a bloody path, becoming managers and enforcers within the Beggar Gang, possessing some spare cash and overseeing other beggars daily.
Take, for example, this group of young beggars supervised by a few elder, burly beggars clad in tattered clothes who are noticeably more muscular and even secretly armed.
They are responsible for managing the young beggars.
Those who manage to break free are invariably cruel and ruthless.
On an ordinary day, they often bully those who come from outside seeking a living.
