I'd have to agree. Taiyuan is a pretty cheap city to live in compared to others, at least I think so. I've been there and can attest that it is cheaper than Wuhan anyway. Therefore, to be making 12,000 in a city like that, it begs cruduality. I would also have to agree, poad of BS. Likely when you got there everything would change, and that 12,000 would become the actual 5,000, which is oh so common pay over here, for 18 to 25 hours of work.
