Q: Where are the birds, squirrels, and rabbits?

I first came to Beijing with my father 11 years ago and remember seeing a lot of birds and squirrels and even a few rabbits in the parks.  Now I don't see any. Did they die of pollution or what?

Those that didn't die from lung cancer ended up in some hotpot. The first time I was in Beijing was 1994. 20 years later and it's now it's like next to hell. It's dirty, smog filled and absolutely crowded with cars and human traffic. I wonder why people would want to poison themselves so. If I can avoid going to Beijing I would.

Meat is for eating. Why buy expensive supermarket meat when you can save money by consuming what's left of the wildlife? I'd link to that story where locals were catching doves being released during a wedding ceremony, but I can't be bothered. "it can be eaten." I've heard of Chinese and Vietnamese getting themselves arrested for poaching pond ducks in the Netherlands. The only way they understood that they were doing something wrong was by saying that the ducks were property of the local municipality. I'm sure they're still oblivious as to why it's offensive to people.

"They ate them in hotpots". Ho ho ho, it's so funny my tummy hurts, never heard that one before.

Actually, it seems wild life presence in Beijing is improving slightly, due to reforestation projects. But it seems really fragile.

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
