Hi everybody, How is life in china?

is language a big problem ? can we manage with english ?

Strangely in China they speak Chinese not English. Many expats manage with only English but language skills are a great advantage.

You have found the right place. The people on this forum are friendly and helpful and if/when you arrive meet up with us at one, or more, of the regular Tuesday get-togethers.
