The image of lawyers in people's minds has always been clever, and they seem to be able to say black to white and dead to live. But in fact, lawyers are only practitioners of the law, and they use their professional knowledge to provide legal protection for everyone.
But why is the image of a lawyer so far different from that of judges and prosecutors in everyone's mind? On the one hand, it is because lawyers always seem to stand against judges and prosecutors, defending the "evil people" in people's hearts.
But in this respect, lawyers are not exonerating these "evil people" in the eyes of everyone, but only protecting their rights.
On the other hand, it may be because there are always some lawyers who really disregard right and wrong for the sake of profit, and speak cleverly and eloquently. They have broken the bottom line of lawyers, smeared the entire legal profession, as a lawyer, the most important thing is to defend justice, maintain the authority and dignity of the law.
The protagonist who is called today is a lawyer, but he is not a lawyer loved by the people, but a lawyer who is insulted by the whole people, he is Jiang Yiping. He studied the law, but he did not use it on the right path, but disregarded the facts and exonerated some sinners.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the original Jiang Yiping was also righteous</h1>
Jiang Yiping was born into a family of lawyers, and his father was a well-known lawyer. Growing up in the family of law, he was gradually conquered by the law, hoping that he could be like his father, uphold justice for the people, and implement the welfare of the law to the whole society.
Jiang Yiping was a brilliant student and a talented lawyer, studying first at St. John's University in Shanghai and then at Fudan University.
Even in such a prestigious school, his grades are still in the front. At that time, his future was bright, he was a good student in the eyes of the teacher, and a proud son in the eyes of his father.
In 1927, the diplomacy of the Paris Peace Conference failed, causing strong opposition from the Chinese, and many students marched in the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the government and their own political demands. But the government at the time was weak externally and strong internally, and they arrested all the unarmed students in an attempt to silence them by force.
But by then, the Ideological Enlightenment had risen, and the people were no longer ignorant, knowing that if Chinese could not be tough on the international level, they would lose their right to speak forever. The students who are arrested are not afraid of power, and they will never bow their heads in the face of right and wrong.
Jiang Yiping was very touched to see the state of the students, and he took the initiative to defend the students who were in prison, and used his professional knowledge to save them from the fire and water.
Evil does not suppress justice, and at Jiang Yiping's insistence, the government had to release the imprisoned students. And Jiang Yiping went away without charging a penny. At that time, he was a rising star in everyone's hearts.
After defending the students, Jiang Yiping has his own reputation in Shanghai and is respected by everyone. Many people came to him and asked him to defend, and for a time Jiang Yiping also became a prominent figure in the Shanghai legal circles.
Although at the beginning, his heart was pure, he indulged in the lights and wine for too long, and gradually lost his direction and forgot his original dream.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > defended Ninji Gangcun and became a street rat</h1>
Lost in money, Jiang Yiping forgot that he was the guardian of justice, and he gradually stopped defending justice, but defended money. After he became famous, many high-ranking officials and nobles came to him to defend him in order to cover up his crimes. And he always had a way to help them get away with it.
The most terrible thing about people is desire, and Jiang Yiping, who has got these, still does not feel satisfied, he wants more, including fame and money.
To this end, he gave up his marriage and married the daughter of a chaebol in Shanghai at that time. The girl was a full ten years older than him, not that the age difference hindered love, but from the perspective of his subsequent love life, he married this girl because of his fame.
With the support of his father-in-law, Jiang Yiping is more like a fish, and he is mixed in various scenes of paper drunken gold fans. Although Shanghai had fallen at that time, many people could not even guarantee the most basic right to life, and he was not affected in any way.
During the war years, it was not affected in any way and even lived better. He has sold out his country and joined the enemy in their happiness, whose happiness is based on the flesh and blood of the people.
It is hard to imagine that the lawyer who once defended the student without charging a penny is now so cold-blooded that the corpses scattered through the mountains cannot wake him up.
Jiang Yiping maintained such a life until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the celebration of the whole country, but on this happy day, he could not feel any excitement. Because at this time, he accepted the commission of the Kuomintang to defend the prisoner of war, Ninji Gangmura, and defended his innocence.
What kind of person is Ninji Okamura? He guided the 128 Incident and officially opened the Shanghai Battlefield. He ignored the lives of ordinary Chinese people and turned a deaf ear to the Nanjing Massacre. He established the puppet state of Manchukuo and adopted the method of using Chinese to control China, so that Chinese killed Chinese.
Putting aside his aggression against our country, just taking his disregard for life and being cruel and cold-blooded, it is worth the death penalty, not to mention that these acts are all done to China and to our brothers and sisters. As a Chinese, how can we possibly forgive him?
But Jiang Yiping wants to defend him without guilt and clear him of all his crimes, is this not an enemy of the people? His father personally called him to ask him not to follow up on the lawsuit, but he did not listen to the advice and insisted on doing so. For this reason, his father severed ties with him.
Until the court, Jiang Yiping calmly ignored the crimes of Ninji Okamura and praised him for the good deeds he had done for China. Eventually, Okamura was acquitted and returned to Japan.
Perhaps his acquittal was not something that Jiang Yiping could control, but he had already lost the trust of the people when he disregarded the facts, regardless of the facts.
At this time, Jiang Yiping has changed from a guardian of justice in people's hearts to a national betrayer who does not distinguish between black and white.
As a Chinese, he will never be forgiven for ignoring the aggression suffered by his country, ignoring the humiliation suffered by his brothers and sisters, obliterating the sins of the Japanese, and letting him go unpunished. At that time, Jiang Yiping was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="21" > his later life was dismal, and his family was ruined and no one cared</h1>
Jiang Yiping thought that if he always followed the pace of the Kuomintang, he would never be abandoned, but he did not know that when he lost his value, he was an outcast and would never be valued again.
Jiang Yiping defended Okamura Ningji and severed the father-son relationship with his father, and his marriage, which was originally for the sake of profit, ended because of interests, leaving no offspring.
In his later years, Jiang Yiping had been single and had a bleak life, and he followed the Kuomintang to Taiwan, but was abandoned by the Kuomintang when he turned around. Without fame, without money, without his family, without trust, Jiang Yiping spent his life atonement for his defense, but in the end he did not win the forgiveness of the people.
