Oh, the Peace Corps still has volunteers working in unis for 1200 RMB/month. In such far-flung, destitute areas as Chongqing and Lanzhou.

I am assuming that the chief beneficiaries of this charity are mid-level bureaucrats who get to pocket the cash they would have spent on a non-volunteer teacher (which they use to buy a nice apartment where they can boink their mistresses). This is why I would never do time with the Peace Corps--if I weren't already convinced that the organization does not care about the basic safety of its volunteers, I would avoid it because I could never be guaranteed that my unpaid time would be spent working with people who genuinely were in need.
