The behaviour artist (R), identified as Bi Te, is on a mobile phone talk as several beggars rest on doorsteps in in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi province on Tuesday, Oct. 10 2006. The beggars were paid 20 yuan (US$2.5) an hour by the behaviour artist to perform the job, holding up signs to recruit female models for a company.
