Over the years, our lawyers Dong Yiming, Zhou Jiakui and other lawyers participated in the "Chinese World War II Labor Claims Lawyers Group against Japan", which has overcome multiple difficulties and has repeatedly represented private "forced labor" claims against Japan in public interest litigation. It has made important contributions to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of domestic victims. This selection is not only a manifestation of the social responsibility of our lawyers, but also an interpretation of the professional significance of lawyers. In the future, Zhongcheng Qingtai lawyers will continue to uphold the public welfare feelings of giving back to the society, earnestly handle every public welfare case, practice the practice concept of "rule of law for the people" in specific cases, and realize the sacred duty of legal workers to enforce the law for the people.
