Gratitude and Honor: in order to cultivate legal talents

Speech President Guo Feng -- Central University of Finance and Economics law school in the fall 2009 opening ceremony

Dear students, teachers, distinguished guests: hello!

All the teachers first I represent the law school welcomed 09 freshmen enrollment! This year the total number of undergraduates and graduate students is 250, add fresh blood to the school of law. Especially the undergraduates of grade 09 in Shahe new campus of the first phase of a 211 university should have real return to the campus, the campus will be built very beautiful, teaching building, dormitory, library, stadium, will be more than many of the University of Beijing. These modern facilities laid a good hardware foundation for the future development of teachers and students.

Just like you, every teacher thank you again and again, we would like to thank for coming today's opening ceremony, scholarships several law firms - Kevin law firm, Zhong Lun W & D law firm, lawyer Guoco Group Zhan Hao law in our hospital, and donated for Tong soft scholarship chairman Liu Zhaonian. The firm in their home are first-class law firm. However, Is it right? First-class law firms should behoove pay to set Fellowship? The answer is no.. There are more than 630 law schools nationwide, why give our fiscal law school contribution to scholarship? I think in addition to our fiscal law school teachers, students are good, worthy of them set fellowship, an important reason is that the firm has to undertake the social responsibility that a sense of mission. Not every law firms and lawyers have energy, have time engaged in public welfare activities. And, objectively speaking, the legal service market Chinese now the competition is very fierce. On the scale, the grade of the law firm, light is the rent is very high, the partners will hire a lot of lawyer assistant, and the burden of the family. So you took out some money to, is not to say that there is no pressure. In particular, the financial crisis will spread to the law firm, the real estate market, stock, enterprise not not not lawyers fees, many have not received, even appears bad debts. Bank bad debts of state verification, the lawyer who write off bad debts? Can only rely on their own. So we should cherish such a prize these law firms and lawyers to provide us with useful opportunities, we have no reason not to learn, not to make a greater contribution for after graduation is not as the national legal construction.

Now many teachers give students the message. I have been to the students said, life is to do four accumulation. Which four accumulation? One is the accumulation of knowledge, the two is the accumulation of experience, the three is the accumulation of social resources, the four is the accumulation of wealth. Life has different accumulation at different stages. You are now in the campus is the accumulation of knowledge, experience and appropriate to the accumulation point, for example, through the practice, the accumulation of social experience through some activities holiday. The accumulation of knowledge and experience is good, after graduation and then continue to have more social resources, the three accumulation are accumulated to a certain extent, the accumulation of wealth is a natural, you have accumulated more wealth, Pyramid higher. Therefore, these three years, four years time is valuable, we must seize the goal and main contradiction -- the accumulation of knowledge.

Why our scholarship "Tong soft scholarship"? I guess all 90% of the students don't know who is Tong soft, a small number of students know. Tongrou professor is a what? Why the establishment of Tong soft scholarship at the people's University and Central University of Finance and Economics law school? Tongrou professor is the founder of new Chinese civil law, Japan called him "the father Chinese civil law", "civil law China USA called him mr.". He was born in June 20, 1921, died in September 16, 1990. Tong teacher life train 200 graduate students, doctoral students, undergraduates are not statistics. As experts in civil law, has a noble character tongrou Professor, very modest, humble, never taking his authority over his students, never to the famous professor, senior professor airs. Life is hard work and plain living, say he went on a business trip to Shenzhen, into the hotel, his wife went in, security stopped, he is a very honest man. Some of his academic point of view, I don't agree with him, always argue with him, he is very tolerant. We admitted his graduate students, he is out of the question: "insurance contract Is it right? Conditional legal action? "I was wrong, he came to our school to give lectures, I argue with him, he let me think, the second day I give him to submit a small paper more than 3000 words, then I to go to school in Beijing, he asked I think no, I haven't figured out.

Tongrou at home every day to open the door to meet from all over the country to visit his young teachers and graduate students. All graduate students to do the civil law papers or young teachers have what professional services to Beijing, must to tongrou teacher family visit. The visit was his sofa sitting is broken, there is a big hole. This is very worthy of our study. Our teacher to the school, or to contact with students, not the class clapped a bottom go, busy doing their own thing, the students ask questions nor exchange time. I evaluate Tong teacher in memorial articles when said a word: do a fame around the scholar is easy, but to do a transcendental scholars to fame on the teacher that is more difficult as tong. The pursuit of utilitarian is not wrong, but we have to remember their own social responsibility, we should do everything in one's power for development, the students practice, as far as possible to help.

Tongrou professors always told us the young man said, I am your teacher, you should be standing on my shoulders, development. We had as his students out of the meeting, is reimbursed from his research funds. Tong our teacher student written papers, money to either all to us, or we adhere to it, he said, fifty fifty. Like the style, now such conditions of a market economy I feel or want to review, or want to advocate.

Therefore, we named scholarship to a generation of master Tong soft. After the examination of National People's Congress law graduate students, you have to remember, every year's civil retrial subject in an answer of oral questions is "Tong soft" two words. He is Liaoning Beizhen person, manchu. His main academic thoughts: object of Civil Law -- the relationship between commodity economy; his views on economic law; right to separation of the two viewpoints; he has trained a large number of young and middle-aged civil jurist.

Therefore, our younger generation, students remember the law circles predecessors with tongrou represented; cherish blessings, living as a national backbone of the older generation of lawyers, such as professor Jiang Ping, Professor Wang Jiafu. We of this generation have to learn from them, put our main energy is put in the scientific research and teaching work. I think this is everyone here law firm lawyers, they give us a scholarship to get a desired.

Finally, I wish you health, happiness, progress!
