It is a modern-day version of David and Goliath - one man facing down the mighty Ministry of Railways in court over a ticketing dispute.
Yet, Yang Jinzhu has no desire for fame or fortune; he just wants the authority to publish its policy on seating passengers in dining carriages.
The 41-year-old unveiled his case against the ministry at Beijing No 1 Intermediate People's Court on Tuesday, claiming that the sale of tickets for catering cars puts lives at risk and infringes passengers' rights.
