 |  |  |  | Hello Lee Kong, I think the whole sentence means: xiàn zài zhēnde	gāi shàng nǎ zhǎo qián qù 现在真的该上哪找钱	去
 “Realy where do we look for(search 找) money(找钱 as one word means change!) from now.ie Where do we look for money.
 该上 is not one word actually but two,  上 being part of the structure 上哪	去  where …. go to.去denoting a direction away from the speaker.
 Hope I have ilucidated your question …
 Hope I am right Benny.. 万事如意 陆蓝克 |  |  |

 |  |  |  | Hi Roland, This is a very professional answer to this structure. Literally “该上 = should go…..”. The structure here is “上哪去….+ verb”. Benny
