If the ticket is free what can you lose?
You need a confirmed ticket. Being able to standby on a flight from China onwards will result you in either being denied boarding at your starting destination (to fly to China) or, even worse, having you sent back to your starting point once you've arrived in China. DO NOT TRY THIS, even if it might work for some people who lucked out.
