Because I am not fluent in Chinese, I always show Chinese what I want. When talking to butchers and buying meat on outside market, I sound like a caw, pig or sheep: meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Butchers always give me piece of meat according to my sound. Sometimes, they even greet me with: hrrkhrrkhrrkhkhrrrkhr.

 

You could easy find shoeshine place in Shanghai, but you must hit the road with shoe brush in you hand. Just make few strokes with brush over your shoes.

I am sure, if Chinese get the point of your Q, they will direct you to the right place.

 

If Chinese offer you to clean their shoes instead, your 'Chinese' is not good enough, and  you should take extra afternoon lessons.

No idea about Shanghai, but in my little town, you can find the people with the portable shoe shine kit/box waiting outside the bus station or roaming around any outside open-air type restaurants.

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
