Q: Did anyone start learning Chinese because they wanted to enjoy Chinese media?

I don't mean "the media" of course, I mean is there some body of work, be it novels, movies, music, plays, that you started learning Chinese in order to understand? I ask because lots of people learn Japanese so they can read manga or learn Italian because they want to sing opera; but does anyone learn Chinese because they want to read "Dream of the Red Chamber?" or something? I'm not saying this kind of person doesn't exist I've just never met anyone who cites something like that as their motivation for learning.

For me it was just because I had some vague idea that I wanted to be a badass who spoke Chinese, now I find myself with no quality media to consume.... without great effort, at least.

No I didn't.

I would have thought that most people learn a language so that they can communicate with other people. Anther popular reason is that their education system makes them! Au revoir.

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam bef

A:Your potential employer is right! Purpose of the Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
