Being single with no attachments is a big bonus.

As someone who lives and works abroad, all I can say is take this opportunity and run with it. You are young and you only live once. Not only will the pay be excellent but you will likely be playing at much higher level than if you stayed at home. The experience of working abroad not only makes you appealing as a hire when you return but also by other jobs abroad.

It's a whole other level.

As for the culture, food, language, etc. I won't lie. It can be tricky. I am lucky to live in a relatively westernized part of Asia where just about everyone speaks English. Nanjing is likely to be a lot more difficult. That said, I can only imagine that while it will be difficult, you will adjust.

Read some books on Culture Shock and how to deal with it.
