Your only option is to fork-off! You can do it twice!
Ever heard of the movie "Midnight Express" ? This is how your "midnight school" scheme might end-up. If you feel miserable, well, leaving and loosing part of income sounds like a small sacrifice to get your life back 
If you do a midnight run, you will be screwed on your pay and release/reference letter ergo you have nothing to lose. Confront them and make it clear that, if they don't stick with the contractual obligations agreed, you will go anyway and then take up the matter with SAFEA.
As long as you aren't figuratively married to the idea of living and working in China (or literally married to a chinese woman!)...no reason not to leave if you are very unhappy.
Tons of green pastures out there.
With your bad grammar and punctuation, you should be paid less!
At my (private) midnight English Language School in Fukang, my (mostly female) students are required to come to the midnight classes in pajamas, only. No bras or undies, shaved armpits, too
