When we look at history, we can find that the judgment of the common people is often wrong in details, but the judgment of the whole environment is often correct.

The Past: A Chronicle of Chinese Law Schools
One sentence recommendation: won the first prize of the 7th "China Legal Education Research Achievement Award" in 2021. Through the collation and research of a large number of historical materials, the author sorts out the historical changes of several major legal education institutions in China in the past 100 years from the 1860s to the 1950s, and interprets the establishment and integration of legal education institutions, the transformation of legal education, and even the ups and downs of the personal fate of legal scholars, as well as the joys and sorrows of legal scholars. The book also includes a large number of historical photographs, which help to present a panoramic view of legal education in modern China.
Professor He Qinhua recommends: Robert Stevens has said that the history of the development of the legal profession is also the history of law schools, and the concept of law—rather the idea of law—reflects the subtle details of a country's politics and society, shapes legal education, and in turn is shaped by it. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to explore and sort out legal education, that is, the history of legal education institutions, in a down-to-earth and conscientious manner. No More: A Chronicle of Chinese Law Schools has done its part in this regard. The book traces several episodes of the development of legal education in China over the past 100 years, including historical facts, research, analysis, and questions, which are worth reading.

"Accumulation of Momentum"
Recommended words: Selected as one of the top ten rule of law books in 2023. This book takes the Organic Law of the People's Courts, the Law on Judges, and the Regulations on the Political and Legal Work of the Communist Party of China as the main line of the system, and explains how the relationship between the court system and the party, state power organs, and local party and government systems in a super-large unitary country like China that is not yet balanced and inadequate. How does the Supreme People's Court, as the supreme judicial organ, supervise and guide the more than 3,500 lower-level courts across the country, how does it realize the orderly transmission of judicial policies from the top down, and in the process "flatten" the differences in geography and development; and how does judicial adjudication and judicial reform integrate with major political principles such as the party's management of politics and law, the party's management of cadres, and democratic centralism, thus forming institutional characteristics and advantages that are different from those of other countries. In addition to introducing the current text, drafting, and operational effectiveness, this book attempts to restore the formation process of the system and trace the ins and outs of the reform.
