Rebirth 1979: the Era of Criminal Law That I Witnessed

The rebirth of modern legal practitioners goes back to 1979, which coincides with the official implementation of the first criminal law in New China and the difficult start of the construction of the rule of law. At that time, the rules had not yet been perfected, human feelings were entangled with legal principles, severe punishment thinking was prevalent, and the rule of man and the rule of law collided fiercely. After resurrecting his life, he took root at the grassroots level and faced cases of the times with his advanced legal knowledge. Clarify the boundaries of evidence, resist torture to extract confessions, distinguish between crimes and non-crimes, and adhere to procedural justice in market disputes and vicious criminal cases. He has personally experienced turbulent transitions, witnessed the wave of crackdowns, and witnessed the legal system being improved step by step. While protecting ordinary people from being implicated in wrongful cases, we also promote the concept of the rule of law to take root in this land. The tide of the times is rolling forward. Some people are obsessed with enforcing laws and regulations to control chaos, while others are seeking to follow the law. As a grassroots legal practitioner, he witnessed a long journey from the rule of man to the rule of law.
