I wonder if I have met you in Hejin. Last academic year I was teaching at no 2 senior middle school of Hejin City and my colleague was Richard, a Ghanaian. We were teaching grade 1. A Polish girl and two Amercan men were teaching grade 2 for EV.
I had heard about the trouble in Yongji from my TA. At the end of the first term, Mayor was sent there to give one week of free teaching, to try to re-establidsh the enforced broken relationship between one of the schools there and Harry's company. However, he immediately got into hot water with the police, as he had left his passport in Lvcheng. He was forced to return there at once to fetch it to appease the Yongji PSB. I had also been told by my TA that the PSB there had refused to renew the work permit of an old foreigner with a Chinese wife, and that she was not at all happy about that. According to the PSB, the westerner was too old to teach!
