High School Research at University Lab with Language Barrier

Hi all,
I know it’s a bit late, but I’m planning on emailing some professors in physics at Tsinghua University about possible research opportunities. I’m a junior at a nearby international school, so I speak English at school. My parents are Chinese and I can speak a little and understand a little, but I speak very poorly. I’m worried that this will not be enough for research at a CHINESE university - I’m betting that some people there will at least know a little English, but I’m not sure how to approach it. I know some people in my high school (I dont know them that well though) who do research there too, but they all speak Chinese really well… I would appreciate any ideas, comments, advice! Thanks!
