unless you are married to a local, your parents can only stay as long as you are (legally) working there.
if you are not married to a local, once your visa expires and you exit, your parents would have to leave too.
This is not 'retiring' to China as most people would understand it, as it is contingent on your presence.

On the contrary @Blondies, I have to say, I've negotiated with Chinese employers over my pay. I didn't really want to negotiate, but ... in 2013, I finished the contract in Xinjiang with pay at 8k per month and half pay for each of the 3-months of recess on 14 classes (45') per week, no office hours, with all standard perks included, what was my best contract at the time.

do you have evidence, or are you putting 2 and 2 together and making 5?
I don't condone any kind of abuse, but be sure that you have strong evidence before acting or accusing someone.
you say "I know of a teacher ......" meaning are you basing your suspicions on a second hand account or something you have witnessed, or is it 'drunk talk' /...

No, you won't be able to work at other companies other than only at the one which sponsored your Z visa and other permits for it!
You can legally work only at the Z visa sponsor, working anywhere else (even with the consent of your primary employer!) is illegal.

All the media that came my way over the last two years or whatever said that the point of the vaccines are to give you a much better chance of not ending up in hospital if and when you get exposed to the virus, and that you will be a lot less contagious to others.
It was clearly explained that:
1. You might have no obvious symptoms, but you could still...

I think there is a mixed bag of reactions. It is not a regional thing as much as it is a cultural thing. If you are in the city, probably nothing or very little will occur. While Xian is a smaller city than many, I am sure they are used to seeing foreigners.
In rural areas, you may be treated as a rock star by the younger generation. Parents of those kids will evaluate you...

A few years ago, Filipno teachers were beginning to find acceptance in training schools. I think there were special requirements for them to legally get to teach in China. I know that many Filipino teachers found their way into training schools in the southern regions of China.

No, I wasn't saying Trudeau is a doctor.
I'm forgetting this is a forum read by people with differing levels of English ability - my bad - I know the use of analogies can confuse some people so for those readers who somehow think my point was about Trudeau being a doctor I'll re-phrase it.
1. There's an emergency situation requiring action to deal with...

There was a recent change this past week (so I hear). 7 days hotel quarantine. The 7 days at-home restriction. Covid test within 48 hours of entry. I am not sure how many is required during the quarantines. The quarantine has been eased considerably. Unsure what will happen once cooler weather arrives in the Fall. In China, don't blink, or else policies change.
