I make less than what the OP is going to make, and I save a minimum of $2K per month. Oftentimes it is much more. The school pays for my housing and utilities, and then I just don't spend much. However, if you like to travel, it may be difficult for you to save.

One thing that works to my benefit in my particular situation is that I am paid in $$$$ directly into my US bank account. Other money is sent home with the help of Chinese friends. It is pretty easy for them to send a thousand or two to an account in the US.

Also, I would not be surprised if you took on side jobs (the money is too good to pass up) as well as your husband doing side work. It is pretty hard to turn down ¥5-10K per month with very little work involved. With side work, I would think you could be saving $3K per month without too much trouble.
