Approximately 100 million people have migrated from rural areas to the cities of China since the transition reforms began in the late 1970s. Laws restricting internal migration still exist and limit the ability of the migrant children to get an education.  Wu Qing is presently fighting for the rights of rural-urban migration migrants to education in the city; supporting a bill that passed that gives the children the right to enter public schools without paying extra fees; helping improve schools that the migrants have set up; and registering migrants for service.
