Q: How much was your Hong Bao haul this year China foreign teachers?

In Beijing I received three times more than Weihai.  My best Spring Festival in China was Beijing in 2013 when I received over 12,000 and I used half of it for a huge graduation party and going away party at the Beijing Aquarium for my students.

the new policy with corruption crackdown is not to receive any envelopes from students and foreigners usually get nothing because our grades can be changed and we are in the school strictly for entertainment and face bragging rights anyway, if you got anything, silence is golden, this corruption crackdown is not a 2 year blitz and over, its going to be a regular government oversight with a bite.

We know which accounts are the CFTU guy. We should know which account is OldMajor/ Snowballs. 

Whenever we see a post by the CFTU guy we should remind people not to click on their links.

I always thought (contemplated, too), purpose of posting 77 Qs in a row is new eChina raincoat. 

It could be easily remodeled to xxxlarge condoms, similar as 'shower curtain'.

If the majority of people don't click on the links then "he" will just do it himself...  Let's remember this guy likes carrying conversations with himself.  Best thing would be for lazy admin to nuke him on sight, which I guess won't ever happen.

I didn't get anything. I've been here three years and I only ever drew my monthly salary.

 

You probably shouldn't accept money given to you in a red envelope. It's a bit archaic...

I get nothing from work. N/A company and all. I wasnt expecting anything as im married now and we are expected to give, so we did. But as the oldest of the generation and the first married, every other sibling or cousin got to recieve. They took pity on us I guess and all still gave hongbao to us anyways. So we gave and we got. Pretty nice
Couple thousand i guess.

the FIL is being antisocial extraordinaire, so we didn't give or get get anything from most family this year. didn't even see them. but we got more than we gave from MIL's family. it's like our sons' first salary.

from teaching: nothing. my school says it has a strict no-bribe policy, but i guess i wouldn't know if chinese teachers were collecting under the table.
