A lot of women and children are summoned by traffickers who use them to make money. It's very shady. But there are also some beggars who live the life of Riley. They clearly have the ability to work, but they come out to work as professional beggars.

是啊！当时上海连签证都不要，外国人能自由出入。好多在国外混得平平的人，在上海白手起家，成了大资本家。相比之下，国内来上海讨生活的人就艰苦多了。好多人都是生活在最底层的苦力或是小商贩。

Yeah! At that time, you didn't even need a visa to come to Shanghai. Foreigners could come and go at will. A lot of people who were just muddling along came here from abroad. Starting from scratch, they became big capitalists. In comparison, Chinese who came to Shanghai to make their living had it a lot tougher. A lot of people lived on the lowest level of society, doing hard manual labor or working as small merchants.

你本身就智商捉急，被人贩子卖了还帮人数钱的主，感情这事儿您就别瞎操心了。只是得警惕任何时候都小心别上当受骗了。

I think I should be worried about your IQ, you've fallen for his line hook, line and sinker and even thanked him for his trouble. You worry yourself over nothing when it comes to relationships. You should just be cautious at all times not to be fooled.

看来你学日语还挺认真的！我觉得这几年汉语来自日语的词汇特别多，比如：量贩店、料理、人气、写真等等。不过我觉得这些词还是带有挺重的日本气息。

Looks like you've studied Japanese very diligently! I think in the last few years a lot of words have come into Chinese from the Japanese. For example: wholesale stores, cuisine, popularity, portrait and so on. But I think these words have a very strong Japanese flavor.

说法多着呢。有人说，后事没处理好，或者死得冤枉的人就会变成僵尸。也有人说，其实僵尸是被搬运过程中的尸体，路边的人看了还以为僵尸在走路。还有人说僵尸是真人扮的，为了贩毒。

There are a lot of explanations. Some people say that people who aren't buried properly, or who die for no purpose, become zombies. Some people say that zombies are actually corpses in the middle of the moving process. [If people died far from home, they would be shipped back in groups, all in a standing position. People seeing them sometimes thought that they were walking - Ed.] Then some people say that zombies are real people in costume, who do it to sell drugs.
