Can I ask where in China you are? Christianity is surprisingly gaining acceptance and popularity in China quite quickly. If you are here in Beijing, here are a few churches that you can attend: http://www.chinaculture.org/gb/en_aboutchina/2003-09/24/content_25554.htm

I suppose you could go to youtube, I like the Latin mass so I will give you the website for the Latin Mass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enWiFcsBqIE You could also, say Mass propers which are the liturgical readings and communion prayers. http://uvoc.org/Propers/Propers_2008/Propers_Calendar.html http://angelqueen.org/missal/ And I would also suggest saying Spiritual Communions since you cannot receive the Eucharist. http://www.fisheaters.com/TLMmissingmass.html I hope all this helps.

I would think that the Chinese government would block such websites. There is little or no freedom of religion in China. The neighborhood Catholic Churches in China are under the authority of the Chinese government, not the Pope. The Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association is a division of the People's Republic of China's Religious Affairs Bureau to exercise state supervision over mainland China's Catholics. The Communist Party of China wants no organization in mainland China owing allegiance to "foreign influence", in this case, every other Catholic on the planet including the Pope. Ever since it's creation in the 1950's, the Catholic Church has deplored the attitude and activities of the Association and declared the bishops who participated in consecrating new bishops selected by the Association to be excommunicated. It is estimated that there are 13 million Catholics in China, 8 million following the underground church still loyal to Rome and 5 million following the officially sanctioned Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association. With love in Christ.
