Creative beggar

I mean, if you saw a guy choking himself to death on the street, wouldn't you give him some change?

The boy, who called himself Li, tied a metal cord around his neck. Tying the other end of the cord to a nearby tree, he repeatedly leaned forward, tightening the noose and choking himself until he was on the verge of passing out.

Li said he hoped the dramatic display would convince astonished onlookers to put money in his begging bowl.
