I worked at this horrible place for 12 months (Feb 2012-Jan 2013) and lived in an apartment with sewage leaking into one of the rooms of my apartment from the brathroom above. Of course I kept that room locked, but I had to enter occasionally and the mere inhalation of the foetid vapours was detrimental to my health.
But because I frequently complained about that, and called 李宗菊 (she uses the English name Daisy Li), nominally a minor bureaucrat there in charge of iaising with maintenance, and her supervisor Lin Hong (who uses an English monnicker Lucy -- that is Lucy, not Lucifer, though the latter would be more appurtenant), decided to steel my 20000 RMB bonus that the city paid to each of the teachers for our work at the English Salon of Huizhou Science Museum. They said I was unccoperative and didn't qualify for the bonus because I got 79.4 points. This happened because I had 96 from the students (which counted for 20%), 80+ from the department (30%) and 70 from the two of them for "cooperation with the FAO work".

So, do not complain about the sewage atop your head, take your bronchial infection with poisonous mold in stride and you might get the bonus because the juizli and Lin Hong have the power to screw the decision of the Dean of Huizhou College and the City Hall who sent them money for me, which they have not paid me, while all the other teachers have been paid.

I call that highway brigandry.

BTW, thanks, David, for posting the first comment just based on your short visit.

(Attachment: the ceiling about which I complained "too often" during 12 months in which nothing was done about it, and therefore didn't get my bonus -- which had been paid for me by the City Hall, but 李宗菊 and Lin Hong robbed me of it)

That's quite a dramatic picture, complete with mini stalactite. Forgive me but I'm an old skeptic; pictures like that can be misleading and hide the real truth- you said, one of the rooms in your apartment; just how many did you have; especially as you didn't find the need to enter it very often, it sounds to me that that Chinese school kitted you out with a veritable palace of an apartment with many rooms? Did you have to search your estate to find the best pic?

Now this, Li Zong Ju- did you try and charm her at all, or did you just use the SH approach of grumbling and arguing the toss? You can get more out of Chinese women, by being charming- I myself have even used a few well placed leers where appropriate. Did you share a bottle of baijiu with Lin Hong- although, Hong can also be a woman- in which case, two maybe to choose from to try the manly charms-am I right or am I right?
