Tianjin cabbie clocks up the compliments

A good taxi driver might expect the occasional compliment. But Tianjin cabbie Jiang Wensheng has received more than 4,200 in 16 years from Chinese and foreign fares.

One traveler from Hong Kong wrote: "I can highly recommend Mr Jiang as a trustworthy and very experienced driver. His friendliness is overwhelming!"

Jiang, 56, has accumulated 57 notebooks filled with such messages from travelers - in a variety of languages.
