What is his message in the painting?  “Keep your coins, I want Change” with a homeless person sitting on the street.

He told people don’t give every homeless coins, because some homeless is rich than you, Chinese is real. His change doesn’t mean change money. His change maybe means you give me some coins I give you some other things. So he want to more money. Some people that government don’t help them. So they want to change their nationality.


Maybe he is saying people should not give every homeless person coins, because some homeless people are richer than you, in China it is real. His change doesn’t mean change money. His change maybe means you give me some coins I give you some other things. Like Exchange. Maybe he wants more money, not change but large bills. Or maybe there are some people that government didn’t help. So they want to change their nationality.
