The salary you're quoting is definitely NOT the norm. Usually you'll see 5-6000 RMB per month, housing provided, travel bonus, end of term bonus, etc. It's good money and prices in China are very low so you can save quite a bit. This is for university jobs in rural areas. Classes will be 20-40 students and are some of the most disruptive uncooperative learners you can imagine. Most Chinese see foreigners as childish, living and breathing clowns. I've been in China many times and was only able to tolerate it at two year stretches, after that it will play havoc on your sanity.
