The legal eagle flying the flag for equality

As a lawyer, Nafisa Nihmat is determined to present a fully-rounded picture of a new generation of highly educated young people from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, as Cui Jia reports from Shanghai.

Nafisa Nihmat moved to Shanghai to study law because she wanted to emulate the female lawyer in a book she read when she was in junior high school.

Now, as an associate at a leading law firm in the city, the native of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region is determined that everyone, including top officials, should understand the importance of handling Xinjiang-related issues in accordance with the law.
