You could try buying vitamin B3 at your local chemist ( I buy lots of vitamins in little white tubs, normally B complex: folic acid, B1, B2, B6, B12 for only a few yuan each which turns out to be a lot cheaper than buying multi-vit packs) I haven't seen B3 though. That or you could buy food that is rich in niacin(B3):

Niacin is found in variety of foods, including liver, chicken, beef, fish, cereal, peanuts and legumes, and is also synthesized from tryptophan, which is found in meat, dairy and eggs.

Animal products:
liver, heart and kidney
chicken
beef

fish:
tuna
salmon

Dairy:
milk
eggs

Fruits and vegetables:
avocados
dates
tomatoes
leaf vegetables
broccoli
carrots
sweet potatoes
asparagus

Seeds:
nuts
whole grain products
legumes
saltbush seeds

Fungi:
mushrooms
brewer's yeast

To ask for it just write a B cubed on a piece of paper (I mean B elevated to the third power : B^3) and a translation for vitamin which is similar sounding in Chinese, if memory serves. That how I manage to make myself understood anyway.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
