Q: What should I had done in this situation?

Today I was riding the Shanghai metro, when all of a sudden, I heard screaming through my headphones. At first I didn't react because I'm so used to little children screaming on line 1. Out of no where a man is coming my way, and he is holding on me. So I push him away, and he just keeps screaming as people move out the way. He falls towards a seat and starts to have a seizure, should I of laid him down on to something soft, or just leave him alone for the fear of being sued? (p.s. I'm not a doctor, I heard your suppose to do that when someone is going through a seizure)

Don't know man, but I often think I should get first aid training so that if I am in your situation I can do something.

DRABC.
Danger (to you others or him) 
Response (check if they will respond.)
Airway
Breathing
Circulation

If the person is having a seizure or fit they will be breathing but convulsing. Just remove them from danger and lay them on their side (safety side position) and they shoujld then get medical attention.

And yes I would almost always help.

My heart and all my years of civilized existence tell me to help. However, with recent events here, my bank account tells me to turn and run for the hills.

Honestly, I don't know.

If you have no medical experience, then the best thing for you to do is to stay out of it. A seizure is the kind of medical emergency that needs parmedics not heroes. You can maybe try and clear some space for the guy to breathe or something.. But the best thing is to stay ot of it lest the guy blames you for his seizure. So I guess you did the right thing.

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
