Q: Did you ever hear that Chinese saying?

"3 women in a room are louder than a macaque"

 

I was told this quite a few times by local men. I think it tend to be true, some women in their 30s or 40s are usually extremely loud at my office, they probably think it make them look strong, in my opinion they only look like uneducated peasants. Younger women tend to be more quiet, more educated too.

 

But it might be a result of poor education rather than sex, older men, above 50, are also extremely loud.

Pretty sexist and narrow minded saying. As you point out, men are noisy as heck too. 

 

Never heard the saying though. 

Eorthisio:

Is anything from locals not sexist, racist or overall narrow minded?

I never heard that either. But I once heard "You can remove the farmer from the farm, but you can't remove the farm in the farmer's heart".

I have heard that ``one Chinese women is equal to 8 ducks quacking...`` so I think it is about the same.

A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
