Can anyone confirm? Thought I could apply the fare of the return as credit to a new ticket but that's not what it seems like.
Do I understand correctly that you cancelled only half of a round-trip fare? This isn't going to give you any residual value, because the fare for YWG-PVG-YWG (what you paid) is likely much less than YWG-PVG (what you flew). There's no fare difference in your favour to be returned or credited.
