  "From the back as a lawyer and politician to", we do not see this topic seems a bit sensitive, actually a bit not sensitive, because I speak of the Republic of China, with 63 years of the Republic of nothing. Today I want to tell you is the law tradition, not the republic Law tradition.

Republic of China law tradition can sort out many clues, I only had time to speak a clue for today. This clue is: from the back as a lawyer and politician to.

   I actually prefer to lawyers called apologist, Republic of China and law basically is the same point in time the. In Zhejiang province in the "Zhejiang gazette" published in Zhejiang on our list of approved formulation plea, there are well over a hundred apologist, is what we said today's lawyer. In the "Regulations" promulgated the interim attorney before the China, at least in Zhejiang province had the "Regulations" apologists method like that, so I love this statement by apologists. The lawyer is people's plea.    

     This is the year of the Shanghai Bar Association building, it is an industrial and Commercial Bank of China, but have one floor up, as the Shanghai Bar Association site exhibition hall, already open. This is a landmark building China lawyers. The Shanghai Bar Association to every member of the badges, membership certificate, Wang Zao Shi, Shi Liang, Jiang Yong, Shen Junru, they joined the bar when the registration form, together with their meeting, today can still see there. 

  In 1935, after Du Zhongyuan's free speech case happened, because the protests judicial injustice, has written more than 20 lawyers sent the Shanghai Bar Association, for illegal decision against court, the Shanghai Bar Association to accept these lawyers advice, in the name of the Shanghai Bar Association issued a letter written to the judicial yuan. In 1938, in protest against Japanese aggression China, Shanghai Bar Association for International Union telegram, calling for sanctions against japan.

   From these pictures which can draw a view, at least at a time, regardless of age or the Beiyang government, Nanjing national government era, the era of apologists, lawyers, they can protect the lawyer occupation ethics (including occupation rules, occupation, occupation honor dignity), like a guardian eyeballs. Those scum they within the legal profession, or illegal operations, lawyers' Association also sent a letter to warn or punish. (this is the Shanghai Bar Association warned a violation law documents.)

  Secondly, we can also see the lawyer is able to transcend political stance. The French students come back to doctor of law Mr. Wu Kaisheng, he Wang puppet government period served as undersecretary of foreign affairs, but we know that he made defense attorney once for many famous Chinese early Communist Party leaders, he worked as a lawyer for Chen Duxiu's son Chen Yannian, he worked as a lawyer for Chen Geng's, he also had a lawyer as the son of Liao Zhongkai Liao Chengzhi. Does he believe in communism? He won't believe. But as a lawyer, he is duty, duty.

  Not only is he, Zhang Shizhao has defended Chen Duxiu, Zhang Shizhao didn't agree with Chen Duxiu's political views? Of course not agree. We also see 21 was China first-class lawyer, lawyers, including Zhang Yaoceng, time for the "seven gentlemen" defense, their political position is not consistent, they disapprove of the "seven gentlemen" left position, partial common positions, but they still stand out and defended the "seven gentlemen". So I see that era, as a lawyer, they are able to protect their own occupation ethics, to different political beliefs, different political views who defended.

   I saw that the formation age of a traditional, is to step back and be a lawyer tradition. In the Republic of China thirty-eight years ago China before 1949, is China, retreat and a lawyer is a common phenomenon in that time, I just randomly picked out a few famous people come out, there are more than well-known lawyers have been retired from the officialdom. In the fifteen years before three time as attorney general Zhang Yaoceng lawyer, had the attorney general and Minister of education Zhang Shizhao lawyer, did Dali Dean Dong Kang, had been members of the house of Liu Chongyou, have been members of the house of Shen Junru, have been members of the deposit of Zhejiang province ruan...... This list we can always row. They are very long time is back as a lawyer.

   But I saw with the evolution of history, in the sixty-eight years after the Republic of China, 1979 after the China Taiwan appeared another phenomenon, is then politics. I just to name a few lawyers witness, the lawyer is "beautiful island" case's lawyer, Su Zhenchang, Xie Changting, Chen Shuibian, especially the Qing, Jiang Pengjian, Zhang Junxiong, and others, because at that time to defend 21 lawyers, including political proportion is very high, but these people have many later do the Republic of China "President" or "presidential candidate", "vice president" candidates, "Premier" etc.. In a hundred years, a hundred years Chinese lawyer rise and fall, this line is very clear. We have a what kind of traditional thirty-eight years ago? Traditional a retreat and lawyer, why can retreat as a lawyer, because there is a dignity as a lawyer, is a decent lawyer, so they can return and a lawyer, can do a lawyer and survival. In sixty-eight years, this group of lawyers embarked on the road of politics from 1981, have elected to the Taipei City Council member, Taiwan province. Xie Changting was born in 1946, Su Zhenchang was born in 1947, Chen Shuibian born in 1951. "Beautiful island" case occurred when, in 1979, you look at their age, Chen Shuibian the youngest was only 28 years old, the oldest, Xie Changting is only 33 years old, this group of young lawyers started because of the "beautiful island" case defense. On the road of politics from 1981, from "the senator" to the "President", the road is coming.

   I feel such a point, whether it is "back" to professional lawyer, or "and" to the public domain, they have the same place is a common bottom line, their occupation ethics that kind of care, the occupation ethics adhere to, the occupation ethics is speaking in front of the beyond the political position, not minutes, regardless of your belief in the three people's principles or communism. Of course, whether the "retreat" or "and", is the Republic of China thirty-eight years ago, or sixty-eight years after the Republic of China, is determined by the social conditions. If the society does not open election, no matter how powerful lawyers have no chance to go further in politics. So the more important is not retreat, or into, but can retreat into the. Only by establishing a respected individually, and do not allow anyone to become a normal social icons, each person can choose to retreat or into the.

   Today's China is such a Chinese between good and evil, is non, gain and loss, there can be no doubt that more and more people emphasize the gain and loss, so it is no doubt the lawyer industry, is not good and evil, only a few people will care about, most people do not care about, most people only care about gain and loss, and abortion. We can come here is particularly difficult today. Before I came here doesn't know where to go, always in the courtyard I still don't know where to go, see the "and", I know that this 8 floor. At such a time about gain and loss, we can come here, itself is a kind of choice.

   Today, the lawyer, the storm was famous, peoples attention and stand on solid ground, inch by inch, no doubt more people choose the former, I'm afraid ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent people choose sharp name, overnight, attention. But I believe that, in between these two, to stand on solid ground and violence have a common name is between the bottom line, occupation ethics, is the Republic of China era of lawyers, those who have had to defend the occupation ethics, I conclude that some basic insights and friends and predecessors share.

   I believe that not only is a traditional individual star shaped by lawyers, it is molded by unknown to the public law, the latter is the foundation, is the bottom, is constant, can be met for the former, with more chance, so I'm not too much star lawyer.

   The second sense is the history not only is composed of the high-profile event, are not composed of those high-profile legal cases, is composed of those silent and not widely concern, the latter can reflect a social reality and universal aspects of an era, more than the former.

  The third feeling is the fact judgment before the judgment of value. There are many differences Chinese, when we have a disagreement, I believe we do first fact judgment, and then to make value judgments, so Zhang Qianfan brother just said consensus may be more likely to form, only based on the fact judgment, can be a true consensus. Today more and more people are talking about China value judgment, you are left, he is right. If we have been in the entanglement of left and right, Chinese future is unable to reach a consensus, no consensus consensus today, not in the future. I am a imprint is engraved on my heart. of pessimism, and Zhang Yi and her sister, to Chinese future is not hopeful, but at the same time I was one of those who believe in god. I believe that when we despair, God will open a beat all channel for Chinese. We believe that Jesus had a word, beginning at the end of the people of God, when Chinese entered in people without hope of such a hopeless situation, when Beijing's haze to the city buried, when we see any roads have been blocked, whether God or in from all sides, have no way. This time God will personally held out his hand, give us a channel. I would like to China future in God's hands, of course, God is not personally appear, God wants to borrow the person to talk, to borrow those of us living in the world, including live on the faith of his people, including those who do not believe in him also included, as were his own he would help us, talk with us, to open road. Although the road where I don't know, but I know God's hands grasp tomorrow's road. Chinese tomorrow not in a strange place, not in a very complex, Chinese future is a bright path, but this passage today we still can't see, but I believe God is in hand, his hand was a blueprint. I'm in Beijing Road yesterday, has been on the plane to see a book called "God's blueprint", on the edge of the passenger is very curious, say you see this book, this book is so good-looking? I smiled and did not answer him. God's blueprint, which is really beautiful blueprint, beyond our imagination blueprint, in his blueprint, fairness, justice, "the Bible" tells us, in his righteousness as the surging river. Today's Chinese missing what? The most is the lack of righteousness. So I believe that the future only God himself to lead, we only do their part to. Thank you for your.
