Q: How are tomboys viewed in China?

I think when it comes to women, the girly, cutsie, skinny, frail image prevails.  But I've also seen the exact opposite (i.e. Li Yuchun).  But how are tomboys and strong women viewed here?

People of grandparent generation don't understand the "new trend" tomboys, some girls nowadays are bold and expressive of themselves, they dress according to their characters, which is a sigh of liberation from the old tradition constraint. In the old days, women were forced to wrap their feet to limit the sizes, a woman with a favorable size of feet were considered beauty, women were considered beauty to be obedient, too. Chinese women have been repressed for too long. Now it is new era and time to be free to express themselves. New generations know little about the old tradition, so they are totally free to any direction as they like, if they like to be as handsome and cool as a man, then let it be, if they like to be cute and elegantly feminine and gentle, then be it, no much criticizing about that as long as they stay true to who they are and be responsible for their behavior...

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
