The residents believed that it was related to the pollution of the water source. The pollution was caused by two major American business groups: Grace and Beatrice Factory. Most lawyers are reluctant to take such a difficult case, but Xu Lijian saw the huge settlement money behind it and another peak of his career, so he started to investigate. He spent a lot of money and spent countless energy researching the case, but it was not as good as expected. For this he lost his fame and fortune, lost his friends, lost everything. Only when he had nothing, did he see clearly the value of the law and the true meaning of human nature, and he continued to appeal perseveringly. The eight-year-long lawsuit finally won the lawsuit.
