Thank you so much for your advice.

I think re-attaining Chinese citizenship is the simplest way to go. Or going to Hong Kong to work is another way.


However, when you mentioned the new residency permit. I think the one you're talking about is where they changed the rule regarding the length of time that you can stay in China. The time has been prolonged to 2 years for Children over the age of 18, coming back to China to take care of their parents, who are at least 60 years old.

This is the one, is it not? Still, there is at limit and you cannot work in that situation.

Also, I am fluent in Mandarin, able to read and write. But...um....I guess that doesn't help much.
