Young women, some pregnant and others breastfeeding toddlers, who sell fake student IDs of all kinds, have become a phenomenon outside the east gate of Renmin University of China in Beijing.

Fake IDs of Peking University, Renmin University and Tsinghua are among the most frequently used, mainly to get discounts on tourist attractions.

A survey by China Youth Daily has found that most of them are aware of their delinquencies but nonetheless choose to stay active in the illegal business and use their pregnancies or motherhood to avoid punishment.

In one extreme case, a woman gave birth to six children so that she could always have one infant protector.

"She made three million over the years," one ID dealer named Wang Hong commented.

The survey also found very few of the women ever thought about the future, instead tending to "simply repeat past patterns."

北京，中國人民大學東門外，有著一道獨特的“景觀”。很多孕期和哺乳期的年輕婦女在街頭攬活，售賣各式各樣的假學生證。

北大、人大和清華的假學生證最受歡迎，主要用于景點門票打折。

《中國青年報》的一項調查顯示，她們中的大多數都知道自己的行為違法，但仍然選擇繼續從事這一行當，而且利用她們是孕期和哺乳期婦女這一身份躲避處罰。

某個特例中，一名婦女先后生育了六個孩子，以便自己一直處于“嬰兒保護傘”下。

“她這些年掙了三百萬。”一位名叫王紅的賣假證者告訴記者。

這項調查還顯示，她們中很少有人想過未來，而更趨向“重復以前的模式”。
