As a young, migrant carver in Shenzhen in the late-1970s, Yang Kequan's dream was to someday start a small agate workshop, where he could hire a handful of workers. Three decades later, his Yang Kee Agate Company, based in his hometown of Fuxin, employs more than 100 workers and imports materials from South Asia, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
