hello. working for companies local/multinationals in China is only a temporary job. Most companies are always looking for someone better and cheaper to fill the job. The reason most teachers with families and now singles are looking for schools and univ. is because the security of work for at least 2 to 3.. years. So at the end 4, 5,000 rmb sounds ok for a more secure job. Good point though and best of luck. leny
