Q: What is a good gift to buy a Chinese Mother-In-Law?

She's 86 years old and very traditional I believe...except for accepting me as one of her son-in-laws. She does not live in a major city in China and i dont want to offend her, and I would ask my wife...but i want to take other initiative this year to also surprise my wife.

What sort of things does she do daily? I know she cooks...get her some cutlery or some pots and pans she will use those everyday and that can remind her of you, but just make sure you get the good quality type.

My first thought was to suggest a basket of fruits, but then I thought there is a possibility some of the fruits may not be to her liking.  Then I came up with what I think will earn you a few points, a "red envelope".  You can buy one for around 1 Rmb, go to bank and get some new bills, and place them inside.  Then give it to her, telling her that it  is to buy something she always wanted but never could have, and it is your way of thanking her for raising such a wonderful daughter, your wife.

Good luck, partner, hope it does work.

Im with you Family is the most important thing to most of us so keep opening the door for your wife and the other ladies show great respect and gets browny points just be carefull with the fruit basket thing as a pear can be a way of telling the reciver its time to leave this place on earth best wishes

My mother in law is 60. She has a computer online but couldn't send e-mail or shop taobao because she doesn't know how to type pinyin. A character recognizing USB writing pad fixed that.

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
