Q: What do you know about Phillip Short

I am watching his "documentary" on Mao and it seems full of propaganda.

I would say it is a balanced and historical documentary.

Propaganda from what side?

nevermind:

Well, from what I've read the accounts given by the peasants about how Mao was so nice to them were false. My wife actually freaked out when she heard what they were saying. He seemed to avoid talking about any of Mao's mass murders in Ruijian and such. 

 

I don't know if that was just for brevity or not. But I thought I read somewhere before Philip Short was a stooge who agreed to script approval in exchange for communsit money for his films. Was wondering if any one could confirm

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
