This is fake news....
Not hard to see, you can even read the original article in google translate, which seems to be their only source and they still messed it up.
The case was 16 years start to finish, not him studying law.
He used a lawyer..... "Wang Enlin began work to protect his rights in 2006 and received assistance from the Center for Legal Assistance to Pollution Victims (CLAPV) in 2007" [1]
Sure you just want a meme to make you happy, but Reddit did this story years ago. And they have new memes that are untrue and fun there now.
The more real story here is still kinda cool [2]. But this isn't close to the truth.

- vincvinc 7y agoWhy was this comment was marked dead? I am "vouch"ing it for now because I have read Wang Enlin's story a long time ago, and though a cool story, I have doubts about this version of the story by the Independent to be a good representation.
