Shi Fumao, a 34-year-old lawyer, starts his day at 6 am, when he wakes up to go for his hour-long jog. He says the exercise is important if he wants to continue doing what he does well.

Shi isn't one of those lawyers who charge their moneyed clients hefty amounts to appear in court on behalf of them. Shi's clients are poor workers, harassed by their employers, and he fights their cases free of charge.

Over the past year, Shi has fought 32 lawsuits for 508 migrant workers, and has won 118 workers over 5 million yuan as compensation from their employers.
