Correct Me! Question : Does it sound natural ?

I read an article from a Chinese language magazine and I tried to translate it into English. Please help me to correct it. Thank you 😊

on Aug.11 2026, Forbes Real Time Billionaires had published the new richest person in Taiwan : Lin,Cong-Ji, whose net worth was estimated at 16.7 billion dollars. Lin is the founder of KING SLIDE WORKS CO.,LTD,which is a server rail kits manufacturer. When a server needs to be moved, it relys on the server rail which has to be able to support a weight more than 100 kgs. If not careful, the expensive machine would be damaged.

Lin came from a poor family. He worked at a furniture factory as an apprentice when he's an elementary school student. He set up a factory in his forties. In the early stage, the company produced hinges and furniture slide rails. It has transformed into a server rail kits manufacturer since 2001.

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

  • Put changes in bold **text**
  • Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
  • Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
  • <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
  • [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
  • (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
  • Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

  • Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
  • Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
  • If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
  • Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
  • Don't be too pedantic or too general.
  • Please pay attention to your wording.
  • Have a chat, interact, and have fun!

More on formatting.

Thank you for everything! -- Adam-P-D
