For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Though I am not the organizer, but the person in charge of this game is very close to me.  I will be very happy to bridge your questions to the organizer, or help you as much as I can.

Comment by Leo on April 25, 2014 at 20:02

Dear Vinz, the requirement number 1 is you should be a foreigner, not a Chinese. Number 2, for registration, you'd better to sign up under the name of an organization in which you are working with or associated. For example, a foreign teacher in Jilin University should goes to Jilin University and ask the school to make proper arrangement; an overseas technician or staff working in FAW-VW should goes to the office of FAW-VW. The organizer has sent official note to most of the employer which involved foreigners.  In case you are not employed, you can form a team with some other friends, let's say "Team of Changchun Friends".  You may think requirement number 2 does not make any sense, but it is not. Before the game starts, all the information related to the "who play what in where and with whom" will be released on the "meeting of team leaders", if you do not have an organization, you may likely to miss those information.

My question is : Except for my passport, what do I need to join the shooting competition?

Comment by Leo on April 24, 2014 at 8:55

Hi, Vinz, could you please state your ask again, what is the specific requirements you refers to?  I will be very happy to transfer the question to the person in charge.

Comment by Chris Knight on April 24, 2014 at 6:50

Yes ... unless of course, you have run out of your anti-depression medication. LOL

Comment by Vinz on April 24, 2014 at 6:21

Leo, I remember that for the last events, there were discussions about the requirements to take part in the shooting category. What is the result of all this? Can anybody attend?

Comment by Leo on April 10, 2014 at 13:12

Ha, dear friend, they are still thinking about what kind of staff could become the winning souvenirs for this year's event, but not finalized yet. It depends on the budget... 

Comment by Chris Knight on April 10, 2014 at 12:41

Leo, do they still have bicycles for 1st place? If so, can I get something else instead? I already got one last year!
