Most recruiter in China do not care whether you boy friend is in Xiamen, they just care about your qualification. But if you mention your boy friend in your cover letter, it may give them negative impression: You are going to Xiamen not for teaching, but for your boy friends. So, my suggestion is that not mention your boy friends.

Oh! They would definitely look down upon a lady who claims to have boyfriends.
