Q: What does the year of the dragon mean to you?

Is the year of the dragon special or important to you in any way?

Nope, to me it is just another new year.  But that could be because I am not from this area of Earth. 
But to those born locally, it is one hell of a good year for many things, including new businesses, new jobs, and lots of taking care of opportunities.

I guess it's my lucky year, because I was born in the year of the dragon. It doesn't hold any real meaning for me, but I guess I feel a little special.

Actually, from what I have been told, your animal year is not supposed to be lucky for you. Just sayin'.

Hopefully, it won't mean I'll be terribly busy and tired, as I wouldn't want it to turn into the...year of the draggin'...

It signifies something that starts in a month from now, when you will no doubt bombard us with a barrage of dragon/spring festival threads. I can picture them now:

 

Do you know the legend of Blue Dragon?
Do you know the legend of North Sea Dragon? (ad infinitum)
What will you do for spring festival?

What have you done on previous spring festivals?
Why aren't enough stores open on Spring Festival?
And so on.

Q: Do I have to be native speaker to teach English literature?
A: You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holdi
A:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/Working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
