Jiang Ping: the political reform should first constitution

-- inSpeech at the ceremony Cai Dingjian Constitution Education Fund

After professor Cai Dingjian died, I have a piece of paper in the "financial" magazine, I say me and Cai Dingjian is the relationship between teachers and students, and comrades in arms relationship.

The relationship between teachers and students is very simple.Or Liu Xinghong, or Cai Dingjian, is our school seven nineTheThe first batch of students.Liu Xinghong after graduation,Then leave;Cai Dingjian was the first to leave, and finally returned to the China University of Political Science and Law.So the two of them with the China University of Political Science and Law is closely related to. Cai DingjianTheThe constitution foundation can be located at China University of Political Science and Law, is we developed an excellent constitutionTheScholars, also can say is we to add a great glory of China University of Political Science and Law.

Why do I say with Cai Dingjian and comrade in arms? Because I have engaged in the civil law, the strict sense is a private law;But Professor Cai Dingjian is engaged in the constitution, while the constitution a sense of public law. It is two is quite far away from a field, and we became a trench comrades.

That is when I study in the private law, more and more feel,Privacy protection is very important, cannot do without the public power;Or, in the case of Chinese right now, largely public power infringing.So advocates constitutionalism, in a sense, but also to protect the privacy of an absolute need.So from this perspective, we can go together. Or that I later studies, also more consideration to our country constitutional requirements. So in this sense, should say is a comrade in arms.

Later professor Cai Dingjian died, can be said that there is a phenomenon, called "Cai Dingjian phenomenon".What is the "Cai Dingjian phenomenon"? I remember the last time I talked about the memorial serviceThisA problem. I said that some people, life's great reputation, but the deadTheIn the futureItHis influence, as he lived so big;And some people, he is not very prominent, or his reputation is not particularly prominent, but he died later of society caused by theTheVibration is relatively large. I said that Professor Cai Dingjian is what I say thatThisPhenomenon, or I'll call the phenomenonIsA "Cai Dingjian phenomenon".

Cai Dingjian was a jurist, but after he died, not only in the lawHomeA shock, but also in other areas, even in the social lifeNoodles, also caused great repercussions.SoAt this point, I feel the need to put his thinking and his social phenomenon caused by the vibration, it should be is a good summary.

So now put his career,An education fund to a scholarship, put itHere, this is a very valuable. Because this approach can generationMoreEndure, put Cai Dingjian in the kind of perseverance, engaged in the cause of this optimistic spirit, the theory and practice combined closelyThisSpirit, generations,Is very good.

I had a feeling of the past, I often felt,Teach the people is easy and not easy. Why is easy? As long as you according to constitutional provisions, it is very easyNo, not at all?Why not easily? Because the constitution is a sensitive social issues, or affect a key issue system.We should make the reform of political system, should first start from the constitution. Our Constitution if not able to reform, our system will not be able to get much improvement.So in this sense, the in a sense is a"Penalty zone".

We don't have to mention now"Constitutionalism";We can't speak of some important problems of the violation of human rights;We are now talking about"Constitutional review", does not have a scientific system; we now"Constitutional Litigation"Belonging to, or"Penalty zone". In this case it should be said,The constitution to speak up is very difficult.

In this case, I think Professor Cai Dingjian size in the constitutional issues graspHave toGood.He neither constitutional avoidance inside the Constitution's most acute problem, he can put some phenomena in the Constitution and in real life closely linked, this is the need of high art.That is to say, not only for the present incumbent accommodate, but not beyond his level of tolerance.

I think at this point, weFuture law hope lies in talents cultivation. Not long ago,There is a university asked me to write a few words of encouragement, can doLanguage. I wrote eight words:"The rule of the world, talent first". "Rule the world" is our ideal, is our goal;But to truly achieve the "rule of law", the "people first", must be trained to the rule of law concept constructedSuchScholars, students, is?With this, our rule of law is the hope.

I think Professor Cai DingjianTheConstitution Education Fund, and to this end, in order to cultivate the talents of constitutional government in our country;WhileChinese hope lies in the amount of these talents, and they can not grasp Chinese future destiny.

So, although I was engaged in private law, although there is also a"Jiang Ping scholarship"It is true, but IIsFeel it in your heart,ChinaTheThe hope is that constitutionalism, constitutionalism is China hopeTheTalent cultivation.Thank you.
