　　"During my experience here I have not only been introduced to legal work and research, but have gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of operating as an NGO in China. Working in an environment with such generous people – who are genuinely passionate about improving their society – has also strengthened my desire to work in this field. I highly recommend an internship at Zhicheng to anyone looking for a non-profit legal experience in China, or in general."
