Q: Any official recognition of today's 100th anniversary of the abdication of the last Chinese Emperor?

Considering China's 5000 year history includes 2000+ years of Imperial rule, and over 200 years rule by the Manchu,  I was curious if this is recognised as a significant event.

They usually don't recognize the last Chinese Emperor in the way you think. In any society that had emperors or kings they don't celebrate them that much. Remember a lot of kings had enemies and even inside their own kingdom people use to try to poison them. They made a movie about the last emperor which was the little baby and I found out that the baby had gotten kidnapped by the japanese. That is sad! So no they don't!

I can see the logic behind 'celebrating' it... finally rid of that oppressive monarchy system and all that came with it.

Perhaps they just don't like losers??

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
