Nader, are you talking about (Chinese) New Year that comes with Spring Festival or are you talking about (Western) New Year? Depending upon your answer, I will be able to provide you with more info. Thanks!

Thanks guys above now I think that I understand his question.

Voltasingh, traditionally, little children DO wear special clothes for the Chinese New Year / Spring Festival. The custom may be on the wane in the bigger cities but considering that 2/3's of China is still smaller cities and rural, in these places, the little ones are decked out with clothes like this. it is considered "auspicious" to have the little ones dressed in new and bright clothing, particularly clothes that are red:

So you're saying that, traditionally, farmer children wore traditional empress clothes, in a colour it was illegal by pain of death for anyone but the royal family and royal guard to wear?

Well, obviously.

Kchur, what I am saying is this:

(1) The OP asked about costumes for New Year's for little children.

(2) We are talking about this year, not the Qing dynasty.

Have a good evening Kchur. Sorry that you are not here in China anymore.

Show me a pic of a bunch of farmer kids in royal clothing, and not just something you pulled off an image search.

Q: Can a Z visa holder do graduate studies in China while working?

A: Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside

A:Good question! I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
