Q: Would a big rock festival be possible in China ?

Something like the Glastonbury festival, many bands over 2-4 days, open air concert, people staying in tents on the festival area etc.

Would anyone (of the locals) want to go to such an event ?

Well... there are rock festivals. Quite a lot, too, surprisingly.

Every year I would go to the Midi festival, which is apparently the biggest in all of China, right outside Beijing, or sometimes inside. People from all over China gather, drink, listen to music, camp, and all that. It's awesome. To me it's the rocking beginning of the best time of the year: summer. And it lasts 3 days, if I remember correctly.

Then there's the other festivals, like the Strawberry fest, or the sky fest, which usually contain a different genre of music.

And yes, there is a LOT of people. Especially when Brain Failure's around.

I've never been to one in China, but it seems there are several to choose from: http://www.echinacities.com/expat-corner/2013-China-Music-Festival-Guide-May-June-Get-Ready-to-Rock

And I will also freely admit I have never heard of one single band/artist listed in that article.

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
