Hi Rain,
I believe you are referring to JUNIOR high school students.

Let me think about the problem.

I'll e-mail you after a few days with some advice.

I have been retired since leaving your school.

About my residence permit -

I have two options to choose between:

Option 1 - 400 RMB for 180 days. Photos 25 RMB for each residence permit. No medical examination.

Option 2 - 800 RMB for 360 days, but I must undergo a medical examination first, costing about 370 RMB! And there is no refund for my wife if I pass away before a residence permit is due to expire!

Best wishes,

foxy.

Hi, foxy! I’m teaching senior high school students. Maybe a lot of Chinese students don’t like learning English just because the English books in China is not interesting. Do western students like learning Chinese? You say you’ve been retired. So it means you do not need to work now?

Okay, I understand now, SENIOR high school students, I will reply in a few days.

Please send me a photo of yourself as an attachment to your next e-mail so that I can recall who you are.

I am not allowed to teach in China as I'm over 60. The visa rules are very strict these days. Were I to be caught teaching, I'd be deported and banned from returning to China for 3 - 5 years, after having to pay a heavy fine of at least 20,000 RMB!

I receive occupational pensions from the UK, so I needn't work to survive. In any case, I am too ill to work as I have chronic heart disease. I was in hospital for 2 days shortly before my most recent birthday late last year. I have stopped drinking beer and eating meat about a month ago in an attempt to lose weight. I am losing weight, that's for sure, and it's necessary for me to do so, but I can't stop smoking!

Best wishes,

foxy.
