Grassroots justice worker in Beijing devoted to rehabilitating convicts

Before heading to work each day, Lyu Mingfeng always pins on an emblem of the Communist Party of China.

"It's been my routine for over a decade," said Lyu, who leads the justice department in Beiqijia township in Beijing's Changping district. "The emblem for me is more beautiful and shinier than any jewelry. It makes me feel a sense of mission."

Lyu, 40, originally studied mining in college, but unlike many of her classmates who pursued careers in that industry or sought opportunities in bigger cities, she returned to her hometown after graduation.
