Hey, I have a bit of a rant/vent about people's power in China. Recently I had something pretty crazy happen to me (it's my fault I'm aware but I think the consequences I faced were very severe and maybe over exaggerated). So a while ago I broke up with my ex girlfriend but she didn't want to move out and she signed the contract for the place but I paid the rent. This caused a lot of awkward moments and eventually I decided I was going to move out. However, she couldn't pay the rent so then she decided to let me live there anyways and she'd move out. I started dating again but wasn't looking for anything serious, just putting the feelers out there. During this time my ex was in the process of moving out but was doing it very slowly (I know I should've waited and this is where my mistake comes in). I met a girl when dating who was super nice, seemed like she had her life set out and was my type. We even shared similar goals. We met 4 times and she started wanting to progress after meeting once (for example she got angry I posted a picture of a duck to my WeChat moments saying I was trying to attract girls). She eventually found out through a connection that my ex was still living in my place and this made her lose her mind (rightfully so I guess). She told me she would ruin my life and so she did. She went through my social media's and all my followers messaging them lots of slander about me but she didn't stop there... She messaged as many people as she could find at my workplace with complaints. I worked as an English teacher at a training centre company. Wi 12 hours of her sending these messages I was Ca in, and fired. No 30 days notice, no explaining. Just fired. I believe this is because this girl has quite a bit of social power. She has like 10k people who follow her. But holy it sucks. They weren't kidding when they said China is all about social power and status. Really shows you can do anything. My company won't give me any cut off benefits or anything even though it was a 1 day fire with no notice. Just wanted to rant. I am not sure if I will move back to England, go to Australia or try to tough it out in China but I feel as this girl will just do the same thing again if I try to stay in China.

Hey, I have a bit of a rant/vent about people’s power in China.

Recently I had something pretty crazy happen to me (it’s my fault I’m aware but I think the consequences I faced were very severe and maybe over exaggerated).
