The school got in touch with me today, and there's nothing to worry about. I'm not going to leave China for 30 days, and I'll get a new visa in the summer without any problem.
Thank you all for your help, information and support.
All the best for the upcoming holiday!

your job here is (supposedly) teach english. not make waves with local authorities or local people. once you understand that your life might change for the better while in china. |
Making waves is an interesting way of putting it. To my knowledge, FTs that are involved in recruiting sometimes "make waves" around. Once, I applied for a uni post that had a FT offering some beautiful waves for the campus and its program, although it was simply a cra**. One of my current coworkers makes some very similar waves around. The uni recruiting department would not offer my email adress as they aren't sure what i would say, or what "waves" i would make. Many real FTs that aren't bias and that only do the teaching know well enough what their jobs are on mainland. They know very well what their lives have been. In China, FTs know well what "their lives might change for" if they read/listened to such posts as the one above. We sure aren't locals and we most likely never will be as this country isn't warming up towards us at all. On the contrary, it is getting as cold as the Siberian tundra. So, should we move there with all of our homes and furniture that we have bought locally and with all of our children and local wifies and their brothers, sisters, cousins, parents and grandparents too??? As for our "changing lives", we sure are more hustled now than before. If that's better than let's hope more FTs will flock to the destination coded above. Full Stop. |
