Stay in China on residence permit but without work visa.

I have recently quit my job in China and had a Temporary Residence Permit (1 year). My work visa has been cancelled by my employer, but my residence permit is still valid for another 6 months. I asked them what the latest date is that I need to leave China and my HR told me that the residence permit will remain valid even though the work visa has been cancelled. Therefore, I am able to legally stay in China until the residence permit runs out only I cannot work. Is it correct that if my work visa is cancelled that my residence permit can still remain valid for the remainder of the term?
