If anyone is interested, or you know someone, pm me and I'll give you the contact information of the hiring manager. See the job posting below. This is in the community where I lived when I was in China. They are somewhat desperate right now as one teacher is leaving next week for his winter home in Mexico and the replacement teacher collapsed on his way to board the plane to Beijing and is now in hospital in Canada (hence the emphasis on "good Health" in the job requirements).
