The Center was founded by Mr Leping Huang, a lawyer and expert in Chinese labor law who has received many awards and prizes recognizing his achievements in the field of labor rights. Mr Huang recognized the importance of labor rights and the urgent need to improve Chinese labor law after himself experiencing an injury at work.
