Q: Do parents 'kick' their kids out of the house after college?

I know the more traditional generation does not, but for the modern Chinese family in Beijing or Shanghai, is it getting more common for parents to tell their kids to ship out at age 18 or after finishing college?

I am not aware of one case yet.  In fact, they not only leave college after graduation, but get married, and still live at the groom's paternal home until they can get enough saved to afford a new apartment.

Usually not. It's not uncommon to see 30 or 40 year old people still living with their parents. Even if they're married and have kids, sometimes they still live in their parent's house. Most young people willingly leave the house on their own though. They want a little independence I guess.

Indeed what the above posters have written is quite true. There is no such phenomena here of parents tossing their children out on the street at age eighteen.

Remember, the safety net of the parents in their old age is their childern.  If they do not for their children, or if the relationship with the children is vituperous, then that would endager the safety net.

Chinese society has remained exceptionally Confucian in this regard.

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
