| A Way To Go
I've also never heard of anyone getting beaten up nor "forced" to perform their contract - but there are varying degrees of what someone might call force, and in this instance I mean using any physical means. There are plenty of horror stories out there, and if you're looking to come to China, then (to save me the time of e-mailing it to you or typing it here) please read the 5 Part post I put in the Teaching and Living in China forum.
By all means, stay away from recruiters. You are so much better off on your own in that instance - and by on your own I do not mean alone, I just mean without a recruiter. Read the posts, then if you still have questions about China I'll be happy to try to answer them for you. However, I must warn you that my knowledge and experience are all based out of chengDu - been here almost four years now and so I do know some things about this particular city.
Anything I can do to help and I will if I can find a way.
