Q: Are old movies available in China?

Do they sell  old classics like Casablanca and others on DVD?

On dvd... not if you just want to walk into a store in pick it up.  But after you get settled in, you'll have your normal places to go.  And once the local dvd place knows you're a good repeat customer, you can make request and he'll have his supplier download and burn just about any dvd that you want.

Everything is available in China and I mean everything. You just need to know where to look for some things.

Or you can download Funshion, and you can download a bunch of movies for free. I know they have old movies, because I found It's a Wonderful Life on there.

There are many online sites in China where one can both watch and download old movies from the West.  Use "baidu" to do a search and you will find them.

Have you ever gone out to a DVD store at all? They sell all types of movies from old to new. If you ever have the chance go to a dvd store. The dvd street guys won't have older movies they get all the new one's. Your gonna have to find a dvd store to get an older movie.

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 student visa to labourer one 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
