I went to the Entry and Exit Administration Service Center of the Public Security Bureau of Yuxi City (“We Serve to Please”) today to complete a process that began two and a half months ago. I emerged more than an hour later with this nifty little addition to my passport:
That is a Chinese residence permit, sort of like an American green card, which allows me to live and work in China and to enter and leave the country without restriction. There’s also a bottle of Yanjing beer in the picture, which I cracked open to celebrate!
