I want to know if I’m the only fool who accepted an unpaid winter job

Well .. the context is I’m currently in China, Hubei province and my salary is 14,000 rmb after tax. So far I’ve not had the full pay because I came mid August. Then for this month 2000 rmb was deducted because 1000 for rent deposit and 1000 as I took a bit of money in advance. My next full pay should be November. I don’t pay rent. But my winter is unpaid .. apparently I should be getting paid for the national holidays but as the schools closed no pay. I just want to know if anyone else has accepted such an offer or am I the only idiot ??
