I prefer to engage in private corresponence.
As I explained earlier, my school email address was only an initial point of contact and I
would reply to inquiries from a private email address off the school server. Inquirers
could still remain anonymous at this stage if they choose to do so.

Sounds enticing, although I don't know how one remains anonymous by sending an email to a school server.

Anyway: I'm in. I will be contacting you soon, maintaining my anonymity.

Be forewarned, I will be posting your full correspondence with the anonymous me on this forum.

At that point we may all judge whether your intent is to recruit for BRS.

Perhaps you truly just want to warn us about the Hebei smog, the festive village nightlife, and the two hour commute to Chaoyang.
