Don't panic! There is higher incidence of liver cancer in China because a lot of people are infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV).

HBV is transmitted mainly through sex, so as long as you practice safe sex, and take your HBV vaccine shots, there is no need to worry, plus moderation in alcohol intake is a good thing, since alcohol damages the liver.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
