Even if you marry to a Chinese, you will only be allowed to stay in China for 180 days at most for each entry.  However, it's possible for you to be granted by local Entry & Exit Department either a family visit visa that is valid for one year at most or a residence permit that is valid for one or two years after your visa expires.
