Practicing the principle of serving the people and building a rule of law China -5 representatives from the field of judicial administration share their stories of struggle
2025-07-09
The rule of law is an important guarantee for Chinese path to modernization. The vast number of judicial and administrative workers adhere to the rule of law for the people, conscientiously fulfill their responsibilities such as resolving conflicts and disputes, popularizing the law, and providing legal services, and have made positive contributions to maintaining national security, social stability, and improving the level of rule of law in grassroots governance. On July 8th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference for Chinese and foreign journalists on the topic of "Strugglers on the New Journey". Five representatives from the field of judicial administration shared their stories of struggle around "practicing the purpose of serving the people and building a rule of law China". At the meeting on seeking the "best solution" with sincerity, Cai Xiaofeng, the first level director of the Administrative Reconsideration Department of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Justice, presented a set of data. In 2024, there were 749600 new administrative reconsideration cases received nationwide, nearly doubling the number. More and more people choose to protect their legitimate rights and interests through administrative reconsideration in accordance with the law. In the past decade of engaging in administrative reconsideration work, Cai Xiaofeng has handled more than 1000 cases, listening to the demands of the masses, interpreting laws and reasoning, inspecting administrative behavior, supervising and correcting errors, and successfully resolving many cases. She stated that she wants to seek the "optimal solution" with sincerity. When handling cases, one should develop a keen eye for identifying problems. In the past decade, while directly correcting errors, she has issued more than 20 administrative reconsideration opinions and proposals to relevant departments. Cai Xiaofeng introduced that she also directly corrected improper administrative behavior, safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, and helped optimize the business environment by changing the amount of unreasonable penalties and making mediation agreements to order administrative agencies to shorten the public notice period of administrative penalties related to enterprises. To create a first-class business environment, a fair, efficient, and internationally recognized dispute resolution system is indispensable. Zhang Yi, an arbitrator of the Guangzhou Arbitration Commission, deeply feels this. Over the past 17 years, Zhang Yi has been engaged in frontline arbitration work and has participated in handling over 4000 arbitration cases. In his view, arbitration can provide universal, efficient, convenient, intelligent and accurate public legal services for the people. Zhang Yi stated that the field of arbitration services is very extensive, ranging from commercial disputes between multinational corporations to small disputes between property owners and property management companies, all of which may be submitted for arbitration. Once the arbitration award is made, it will have legal effect. So I have always had reverence for the quality and credibility of arbitration, and I dare not slack off at all, "Zhang Yi said. During the 5 years of serving as a professional director in the western region, I was able to interpret formal legal provisions in the language of the people by handling legal aid cases and providing legal advice; Through the promotion of legal knowledge, the laws in books are transformed into the key to solving the worries of the masses, and the hearts of the people in border areas are also strengthened with a stronger belief in the rule of law. ”Lawyer Liu Mohan from Jilin Hengfeng Law Firm said. Since 2019, Liu Morhan has successively registered to participate in the Ministry of Justice's "Tibet Aid Lawyer Service Team" and the "1+1" China Legal Aid Volunteer Action, contributing his professional expertise. As a party member lawyer, it is our responsibility and honor to respond to the call of the Party Central Committee and go to the places where our country needs it the most, using our professional knowledge to serve the people of all ethnic groups, "said Liu Morhan. Five years of public legal service work have made Liu Mohan realize that dedicating herself to the construction of the rule of law in the western region, carrying out legal education activities and volunteer service activities in ethnic areas, is the best interpretation of her youthful struggle. From the snowy plateau to the Ili River Valley, Liu Mohan has handled over 500 legal aid cases, provided legal consultation to more than 4000 people, wrote over 1000 legal documents on behalf of others, and conducted over 200 legal lectures. During the aid to Tibet and Xinjiang, Liu Mohan accumulated nearly ten million yuan in economic losses for people of all ethnic groups. In the process of promoting grassroots rule of law construction by telling legal stories in local dialects and dialects, whether it is popularizing the law or people's mediation, it is necessary to deal with the people. In this process, a down-to-earth working style is essential. In response to this, Wei Guanyuan, the director of Xicun Judicial Office of Xinrong District Judicial Bureau in Datong City, Shanxi Province, used plain language, local dialect, and stories from around him to spread legal knowledge. I have a motorcycle, which is a mobile legal propaganda station. Wherever I go, legal texts and policy illustrations are posted and discussed. ”Wei Guanyuan said. For many years, Wei Guanyuan has been riding the "Old Wei Party Member Motorcycle" to shuttle through the streets, alleys, and fields of Xicun Township, adhering to the service concept of "only entering one door, resolving thousands of family affairs" and "the masses speak and the cadres run errands". He has gained the recognition and trust of the people, and has successfully mediated more than 2400 disputes. At the meeting, Jin Qihua, the village committee director of Zhuanfosi Village in Xiadian Town, Huoqiu County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, and a "legal expert" in the village, presented a certificate of "legal expert" that he was proud of. This is a witness to his responsibility and dedication in rural rule of law construction for more than 30 years. In Jin Qihua's view, "people who understand the law" are the "caring people" and "guides" around the masses. For example, in response to the weak ability of left behind elderly people in rural areas to identify telecom fraud, Jin Qihua visited villages and households to promote anti telecom fraud knowledge, explain typical cases that occurred around the masses, and conduct anti telecom fraud tests; By educating and guiding the masses to establish a civilized new style through the "Red and White Council", the trend of high priced dowries has been effectively curbed, and weddings, funerals, and reciprocity are no longer a burden for villagers. For over 30 years, Jin Qihua has been committed to promoting legal education and governance in accordance with the law, serving and ensuring the stable development of rural areas. "When you have something to do, come to Jin Qihua" has also become a catchphrase among local residents.
