1, Xia Haibo, 1982 was born in the countryside of Tianmen city, Hubei province. He was admitted to Tianmen middle school, a key high school in Hubei province, with an excellent score of 1998, and was praised as "a prospective student of Peking University Tsinghua" by his teacher. 1999 unfortunately suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. His parents treated him for eight years, and he was bankrupt and heavily in debt. On July 24th, 2006, he didn't want to drag his family down any more. He quietly came to the streets of Wuhan to beg, and since then he has started a wandering life.

Due to physical reasons, he didn't squat or kneel on the way to beg. There is a bilingual card "begging" hanging in front of him. On the way to begging, he insisted on writing a blog and learning English. In August 2007, he was praised as "the best beggar in history" by online media. His business card says "Looking for the most awesome beggar in history". In March 2008, he devoted himself to completing the first autobiographical novel Begging Diary in Chengdu, which was published by Wuhan Publishing House in September 2008.
