Lihua Tong - Public Interest Lawyer and Advocate; Legislator; Founder, Director and CEO, Beijing Zhicheng Public Interest Law Firm 佟丽华－ 北京致诚公益律师楼，公益律师，主任，创办人，首席行政官

Finalist: ACAA - Australia China Alumni of the Year Award

University of Technology Sydney Alumnus

Beijing based

Mr Tong is a Public Interest Lawyer and the leading advocate in China for children's, women's and migrant workers’ rights. In 1999, he personally funded and established the Beijing Children’s Legal Aid and Research Centre, which is the first non-governmental organisation dedicated to providing pro bono legal services to children in China.
Driven by his passion to help and his appreciation of the need for legal assistance for migrant workers and women in China, he subsequently expanded the organisation’s operations and renamed it Zhicheng Public Interest Lawyers (Zhicheng). Today Zhicheng is the premier law NGO in the People’s Republic of China comprising of the largest network of subsidiaries located across 33 cities. The organisation’s services have expanded to include the protection of farmers’ rights and criminal legal aid.
His outstanding achievements are well evidenced by the over 80 national and international awards he has received since 2000. These include: China’s Top Ten Outstanding Juvenile Protection Citizens; China’s Top Ten Outstanding Workers’ Rights Protection Attorneys; China’s Top Ten Legal Practitioners; China’s Top Ten Public Interest Advocates; China Outstanding Youth Medal; China Outstanding May Day Medal and the National Model Worker. Mr Tong was the winner of the 2012 International Bar Association Pro bono Award received for demonstrating an exceptional level of commitment and dedication to the provision of free legal services and access to justice.
Mr Tong’s achievements extend beyond founding the largest and most influential NGO in China, which to this day continues to help thousands of people. His most enduring accomplishment is his ability to persuade Chinese authorities to appreciate and accept the need for an independent NGO dedicated to helping an otherwise voiceless segment of the population.
Mr Tong has made important contributions to the community both nationally and internationally. He has become the most well-known personality in matters concerning NGO and people empowerment in China. Since 2008 he has been invited to participate in the annual China-EU Judicial Seminar and present on the reforms regarding the protection of children's and migrant workers’ rights. Mr Tong has been working closely with the Australian Human Rights Commission to exchange ideas on the development of Chinese civil society.
In November 2013 he was invited to the United States to take part in the sixth round of exchanges between legal experts from China and the US, where he presented his views on the current status and developments of the rule of law in China.
Diplomats and members of the international civil society community regularly refer to Mr Tong’s views and the work of his organisation as good indicators of reform. Mr Tong has contributed to a better understanding of civil society organisations in China.
