Q: Did anyone start learning Chinese because they wanted to enjoy Chinese media?

I don't mean "the media" of course, I mean is there some body of work, be it novels, movies, music, plays, that you started learning Chinese in order to understand? I ask because lots of people learn Japanese so they can read manga or learn Italian because they want to sing opera; but does anyone learn Chinese because they want to read "Dream of the Red Chamber?" or something? I'm not saying this kind of person doesn't exist I've just never met anyone who cites something like that as their motivation for learning.

 

For me it was just because I had some vague idea that I wanted to be a badass who spoke Chinese, now I find myself with no quality media to consume.... without great effort, at least.

No I didn't.

 

I would have thought that most people learn a language so that they can communicate with other people. Anther popular reason is that their education system makes them! Au revoir.

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 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
