What happened was we were being harassed , meaning they did not respect my privacy , I had ask them several times to put an end to these activities and they said they could not. After some time I received and email that stated I could break the contract. I received the letter from the Gannan foreign affairs office indirecly from the school President of Gannan Normal College in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Shortly after the incident , they reported me to the Departmnet of Foreign Affairs In Nanchang City , what they said I would really like to find out. Also they kept my personal belongings for three months on top of all these happenings. After being homeless though the winter break , Spring festival and New Year we exhausted all our money on eating and hotels and again we did not have our personal things all this time. We did have the proper permits at Gannan , that would of expired August 24, 2006. After the holiday we found a job at Dayu College in Nanchang though Frank Zhang agency ( be aware of this person ) , at the beginning of our relation we told them of the incident and that we should get the proper permits for my job and after many suggestions to take care of this matter , nothing happened. Recently we were called in to the police department in Nanchang, Wanli district were we lived and then the said I was breaking the law and it turns out they told me I had to leave China in nine days from the 21st July 2006 and leave my girlfriend homeless on top of it. There must be a way I can get around this incident beings I was a victim of deceit and was not told the truth. These schools need to take there responsibilities more serious instead of putting the heat on the foreign teachers. This is a very bad way to treat foreign teachers in China. I would appreciate any help I can get .
