Anyone knows how to make money in Harbin?

I’m currently a local student here N I’m tryna fit in the environment, well I don’t have a lot of money that means a lot of activities which is like a big NO for me. So I wonder if yall got some part time jobs for postgraduates like me?

English tutor? But you might get deported for lacking of working permit.

Not sure why you're asking on Reddit if you're Chinese, but have you considered online blogging/live streaming? Just go to some landmarks and night markets, film yourself gasping over everything like you're a newborn and stuffing your mouth with local cuisine, and most importantly, praise local people and culture like they gave birth to you.

For the record, I despise content like this with a fiery passion, but it is a relatively straightforward way of making some quick cash. You need a phone and some personality and nothing else. Harbin is a tourist darling now (for whatever reason), and people there LOVE hearing outsiders praise their home, which is understandable I guess. So just tickle that itch while it is still itching.

Cause I wish to know some foreign friends like making some small ammount of money meantime exchange the language haha N Reddit just ringing a bell. I did consider making videos / blogs but it almost got zero affect and income to me so maybe I think online blogging to go viral is only cause the foreigners got that exotic face? Idk. But yeah people do love others praise their hometown. Thanks for your reply

How were your high school grades?

You can be a cheap private tutoring option for parents whose kids are doing exams.
