I came across this story on Instagram and had to share it with you... Wang Enlin, a villager from Heilongjiang, taught himself law to challenge the state-owned Qihua Group after it had been dumping chemical waste on his community’s farmland. With only three years of formal schooling, he began his legal self-study in his 60s. Through years of persistence, Wang uncovered that the plant had been releasing an average of 20,000 tons of chemical waste every year for 16 years, polluting more than 70 acres of farmland. His dedication in court secured compensation for every family in his village. Insights for our journey: - No matter how high your opposition builds a mountain of lies, you can destroy it with one grain of truth. - Wang proves that legal education is a superpower. - Wang also exemplifies the leadership characteristics I’ll be looking for when I begin recruiting leaders for Phoenix Micronation. It’s your turn to create a NEW post to share your own warrior story: - a time when you stood up, pushed back, or refused to be silenced - Your story may be the one that sparks another warrior’s courage Keep learning, warriors. No matter what, keep moving forward! Postnote: Research shows Wang passed away before the case was fully resolved. If that’s true, he remains a hero for trying because courage is measured in action, not outcome. Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNULjWEOyzP/?igsh=MTRpbDl6eTA2d214dQ%3D%3D
