Hey, you can apply for a Q type if your wife is a Chinese. The required documents are your passport, filled application form, a recent passport photo, an invitation letter from your wife, your marriage certificate and a copy of her ID card. However, I am afraid that you may not apply in mainland China. You should get back to your country to apply this.

Q1 is issued to relatives of Chinese citizens applying to enter and reside in China for purposes of family reunion, and to those who apply for family reunion of foreigners with Permanent Residency in China, as well as to persons applying to enter and reside in China for foster care, adoption and other reasons; Q2 is issued to relatives of Chinese citizens or foreigners with permanent residence in China for a short period of stay (less than 6 months).

I think you may not meet the requirements for applying the Q type.
