Because many people nowadays are one-sidedly pursuing the spiritual aspect of wandering, while ignoring the real wandering. It is necessary to talk about the three major characteristics of homeless people:

1. Away from home.

2. Support yourself.

3. No fixed place to live.

Don’t forget that there are many beggars in your city, and they are also wandering. They are just one of many ways to wander.

The boundaries of wandering are very vague, and it is meaningless to draw them carefully. It is generally understood that wandering around with a suitcase, having no money is called begging but it is still wandering, and making money while walking on the road is also called wandering.

It’s better to stop saying that the mind is wandering and the soul is wandering. It’s too pretentious. Wandering is the body in action, not just idle all day long to fantasize.

On the road, you will always have to suffer, and there will be many unexpected difficulties.

People who are truly wandering are eager to have a final destination, a home of their own, so they put on their backpacks and search, but most of the results are back to the starting point, that is. The home they once left. They all understand that true happiness lies at this starting point, but they have never discovered it.

Vagabond

There are two types: professional and Non-professional. Professional tramp singers are equipped with complete equipment. In addition to guitars or other musical instruments, they are also equipped with speakers, microphones, metronomes, etc. Their other name is professional singers. They also meet the three major categories of tramps. Characteristics: 1. Away from home, 2. Self-reliant, 3. No fixed place to live. Professional wandering singers usually consider where they can go to sing to get more money. Another type of wandering singer has only one instrument and no various accompanying equipment, such as a guitar, a tambourine, a harmonica, and a flute... They are more casual and free and easy than professional wandering singers. Professional singers pay more attention to the performance of the equipment, but non-professional singers only need one object to make sound. Sometimes two cans can also produce beautiful drum beats.

Wandering Painter

Needless to say, the painter requires a drawing board, a few pieces of paper, a few pencils or paints, and street portraits are relatively technically difficult.

Vendors

They make a living by selling things. The big bags behind them contain more goods than clothes. They stop and go, and you can always see them on the streets of the city. figure. Cheap goods and hard work are their portrayal.

Migrant workers

They have no business acumen, nor do they have the throats of wandering singers or the hands of wandering painters. They only have one craft, or even no craftsmanship. Working in a strange city, unloading goods at the dock today and waiting for work on the streets the next.

Regional wandering (Beidiao)

For example, "Beidiao" is also called the Beidiao clan. It specifically refers to people (including foreigners and outsiders) who come from non-Beijing areas, have non-Beijing hukou (that is, traditional Beijingers), and live and work in Beijing.
