Dude actually wrote a proper, coherent letter in Chinese.. if I am the teacher he is getting full marks for sure

I live poorly here.

Working conditions are not good, welfare is lacking.

But do not worry, there are only 10 serious incidents at work everyday, and I am very careful.

We opened a small stall, business is not bad.

Although I do not know English well, I can roughly understand what the white men are saying.

Hope to make a living and succeed! I will work hard here and take care of my body.

How are you guys doing?

I miss you guys a lot and hope to meet again.

Surprised that the message was accurate instead of being gibberish or even asemic.

History teacher here. If this was turned in to me, rhe first thing I'd do is laugh, then have a conversation with the student. If s/he says they'd be ok with me emailing a copy of this to their parents (I'm assuming the parents speak Chinese), then I'd just give them an A for pure gall. If the kid isn't from a Chinese-speaking family, I'd probably still give him/her kudos and then make them turn in whatever they put into Google translate to begin with. But really, this is the kind of malicious compliance I wish my students had the creativity to pull off.
