A Chinese farmer who quit school in the third grade spent 16 years teaching himself law to sue a chemical company for polluting his village. Wang Enlin couldn’t afford to buy all the law books, so he studied at a local bookstore. He paid the store in bags of corn to let him sit and read, copied all the information by hand and learned what he could with the help of a dictionary. He won the case in 2017.
