Master Translation Services in Xiamen, started by Mr. Frank Wei. MTS is the only trnaslation company in Fujian that I feel I can rely upon.Master Translation Services (How Frank Walks on Water)

Imagine loaning a 19-year-old girl with a 4th grade education 30 Yuan so she can get a job as a maid in Xiamen--and having her repay it countless times over, to every elderly person in her village, after she becomes a real estate and bio-tech tycoon! That's Ms. Yang Ying's story! Or the man who came with nothing but a sweater in a suitcase, which was stolen the first week, and is today a multimillionaire in the lighting industry.  That'the Firefly Lighting Story.  Or how about the amazing (and funny!) story of the poor man who struggled to survive, and ended up getting rich as he taught Xiamen people how to drink tea, transformed the industry, and today serves tea to premiers, presidents--and poor folks like me!  That's Huaxiang Yan Story. Or Frank Wei, the "man who walks on water!"  Click Links below for more great stories--and I'll add more as I can.
