The original intention of stepping into the altar
Since she was a child, Zhang Mei has witnessed her father's selfless fraternity and dedication to medical ethics. She clearly remembers that whenever she passed by the small courtyard of the farmhouse and saw a white cloth hanging at the door, her father would immediately stop his hurried steps, quickly open the medicine box, and go to visit.
Those who need medical treatment due to injuries and illnesses are often unable to afford even the most basic medical expenses. However, my father never hesitated to take their pulse warmly and kindly, and did his best to fund some medical expenses.
Sometimes, even in the bitter cold and heat, my father would go to the villagers' homes on time to provide door-to-door service, as if this was his most important and fulfilling responsibility.
What makes Zhang Mei even more admirable is that her father always carries a thin small notebook with him, which carefully records the name, address and condition of every patient who needs to be treated by him.
Even if it was just a small cataract operation, my father would go to the county seat dozens of miles away and be extremely careful to do a good job for the patient.
Time and again, with a high sense of responsibility and professionalism, my father provided meticulous care for the villagers against his will. This spirit of selfless dedication shook Zhang Mei's heart.
She secretly made up her mind that no matter what profession she would engage in in the future, she would put the people first and serve the people wholeheartedly.
After graduating from university, Zhang Mei got her wish to work in the court system, starting her long and glorious judicial career. As a grassroots judge, she has witnessed too many villagers fighting over trivial matters, and they do not hesitate to resort to the law for a little money and power.
Mediation experience
In the face of the grassroots masses who are entangled in trivial matters, Zhang Mei secretly determined to do her best to resolve more contradictions and disputes through mediation, so as to reduce the economic burden of the people's "lawsuits".
She created the four-step mediation method of "looking, hearing and asking", and tried to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, so that both parties can unload their bodies and patiently pour out their inner troubles to themselves.
Zhang Mei will listen carefully to their narratives, groping for every clue in her mind, trying to find the intersection of the interests of both sides. After finding a point of convergence, she will guide the two parties to make concessions and reach a settlement.
During the whole process, Zhang Mei seemed very friendly, and used her warm words like a spring breeze to melt the mustard of both sides again and again, dissolving their estrangement.
Among them, the most unforgettable thing for Zhang Mei is the couple who decided to divorce. Husband Dalin still has close ties with his ex-wife, which makes his wife Xiaofang angry, and she filed for divorce in a fit of anger.
Zhang Mei saw that the couple's relationship was about to break up, and if the divorce judgment was simply made, it would bring endless conflicts to both parties.
So, she first apologized and invited Xiaofang into the "listening room", and listened carefully to the helplessness of this sad wife.
Xiaofang's red and swollen eyes and choked voice made Zhang Mei regret. When Xiaofang finished confiding her heart, Zhang Mei invited Dalin in non-stop and asked him to listen to his wife's complaint in person.
Dalin has repeatedly explained that he and his ex-wife have only been connected with the intention of helping others, and have not had the idea of reconnecting with her. In the end, under Zhang Mei's repeated guidance, the couple, who were already on the verge of breakdown, finally regained the warmth of love and decided to reconcile.
Now, in the blink of an eye, they are full of children and grandchildren, and the family is happy.
For more than 20 years, Zhang Mei has adhered to this people-oriented mediation concept and won the trust and love of the masses with her friendly and friendly attitude. In her office, she often has flowers and pennants given to her by the parties to express their gratitude to this "caring person" judge.
Judicial Practice
In 2014, Zhang Mei entered the Cangzhou Intermediate People's Court to work, and the intensity of her work is increasing day by day. Every year she has to deal with more than 350 cases of all kinds, a number of ambassadors smacked.
In the face of such tremendous work pressure, many judges will more or less cope with things, but Zhang Mei has never been like this.
For her, every case is sacred and dignified, and it needs to be treated with care and careful trial. She always painstakingly finds out the ins and outs of each case, carefully analyzes the pros and cons, and then persuades the parties to reconcile step by step, putting herself in their shoes.
At one point, she successfully mediated a tense neighborhood dispute. Originally, the two neighbors were conflicted and turned against each other for a trivial matter, and they also built a high wall to separate their homes from each other.
The two sides do not share the same day, and neither of them wants to take the first step towards reconciliation.
At first, neither side was willing to back down half a point, but in the face of Zhang Mei's sincere and enthusiastic persuasion, they finally softened their hearts. Under her guidance, the two families demolished the high walls that caused the conflict, leveled the farmland that blocked access, and became good neighbors again.
Before leaving, they bowed and thanked Zhang Mei again and again to express their gratitude to her. This scene was deeply imprinted in Zhang Mei's heart, and it also strengthened her determination to insist on mediation as always.
Whenever there are parties waiting in the court, Zhang Mei always considerately arranges food and drink for them. When she encounters some people who are in difficulty in life, she will also silently give financial assistance.
Once, when the weather was not beautiful and the rain was pouring down, Zhang Mei didn't say a word, and lent her only umbrella to the party waiting in the yard.
Such a heart-warming gesture made many people deeply moved by this amiable judge. Although she was overwhelmed by the flood of cases, she never perfunctory to any case and client.
After so many years of hard work, it finally bore fruit in 2021. This year, Zhang Mei was exceptionally promoted to the president of the case filing tribunal and was in charge of court affairs.
The Cangzhou Intermediate People's Court even elaborately produced a micro-film based on her mediation case. The film vividly recreates the days and nights when she continued to work hard while others were sleeping.
In order to completely resolve the contradictions and disputes, she had to stay up all night until dawn, and waited until the two sides reconciled before she could stop. This micro-film shows Zhang Mei's dedication to work and selfless care for the people.
Uphold integrity and fairness
No matter what difficulties and obstacles she faced, Zhang Mei unswervingly adhered to the belief in integrity and fairness, interpreting the ethics and demeanor that a people's judge should have.
It is this kind of upright integrity that is upright and upright for fear of telling lies that has won Zhang Mei many honors such as "Double Hundred Judge", "Provincial Outstanding Judge", "Provincial Case Handling Model", "National 38 Red Flag Bearer" and so on.
In her heart, behind these honors, they are also full of learning and admiration for her father's perseverance, integrity, and dedication.
Zhang Mei clearly remembers that when she was a child, she witnessed her father's singing and crying deeds. My father was a well-known outstanding representative in the township, and whenever there was a major matter to be discussed, the people in the village would come to him for advice as soon as possible.
At home, his father enjoyed great prestige, and the clansmen would take the initiative to seek his mediation wisdom when they encountered disputes.
All this is because my father has always been an "upright and just man". He used his words and deeds to teach this integrity firmly in Zhang Mei's heart.
Zhang Mei knows very well that once even a judicial person cannot uphold fairness and fairness, it will be the simple and unpretentious ordinary people who will be harmed in the end.
Therefore, whether in life or work, Zhang Mei is determined to abide by the party constitution and party rules, and plays a vanguard and exemplary role as a Communist Party member. From the grassroots court step by step to the position of the president of today's case filing court, she has used her practical actions to show the feelings that a public servant of the people should have.
It is with this selfless enthusiasm for the people and the persistent pursuit of the cause that Zhang Mei has won many heavyweight awards, including the highest honor "National 38 Red Flag Bearer".
However, in her own opinion, all these honors are not as good as the affirmation and love of the people. Whenever she saw the flowers and pennants sent by the parties to the case, she felt a surge of warmth and pride in her heart.
