The first dream come true

                                                --2005Freshmen in Peking University School of law

   Through the long -- time and space, but more important is the mentality of the -- the journey, finally, you wanted to come in the Peking University. On behalf of all the teachers and students of law school welcome you, welcome you to the Peking University School of law, Peking University law people welcome you to become!

  Peking University is desirable, but she was just the first dream in your life. Now, classmates and neighbors envy and praise eyes has gone; the first autumn frost in Beijing will calm your excitement; and in this one "full of wit" campus, do not leave too much narcissism to your space. Class, occupation, examination and "irrigation", classroom, library, agricultural parks and "in a complete mess", will be packed with your schedule. What time, the beautiful lake will again hear your footsteps?

  Learning is not only reading and classes; don't put the learning as a task, or to score, in order to meet the needs of everyone there will be so blameless vanity and murdered your joy in life. I said, not the pursuit of "hard" learning, but to "find your love"; learning should be calmly, a kind of enjoyment, a kind of normal life. At the Peking University, it is possible. There are many wise teacher, not only the school, but also out of town; there are many wonderful lectures, is not only the law, and other professional. Of course, not all good, everything is satisfactory; but in any case, it will not, and should not only let you down, you can gain confidence, help you to create. You should also see, everyone around you may not one one experience is the experience you need and knowledge. A hiking and you may get a good, if not a lifetime; a conversation may let you enter a only contact on TV or books in the world, even if one day you must leave. University campus is not only a little bigger, more older students, the teacher education a little higher; one of the big differences between University and middle school is, the latter is standardized, and the former is the highly specialized division of labor; therefore, she is more like a small modern society, especially in the Peking University so comprehensive university, you have to deal with all kinds of people.

   This is particularly important for studying law. Not only because of the practice of law always need all kinds of knowledge, and compared with the natural sciences and the humanities have many different laws, in the final analysis is to deal properly with all kinds of interpersonal relationship, regulation and interpersonal conflict resolution greatly small. Legal knowledge and skills, therefore, rely on you to a greater extent, first to understand, then is the ability to deal with people and things. A good lawyer, judge the word "good" is not the word building, it is not all personal practice, it is more in the various communication and transaction processing, gradually honed the sharp, sharp, in practice and careful, of course also includes some degree, usually people down, at least keep from talking about but to do another indispensable "smooth" or as to be resourceful. (for example, at least not in such occasions telling people to "smooth".).

   This only from the social middle school. But learning is not an end in itself, or life. For many of you, especially students, has been living in the eyes of the parents, now really the first time away from home, with so much, there will be more have neither Kin nor relatives of people, which will inevitably be take an oath devoutly but harbour evil intent designs of people, this is really very difficult but you must step. Should learn to trust others, and to learn to protect themselves; learn to compete, learn cooperation; to strictly, to learn tolerance; learn to persevere, to learn to compromise; learn to listen, learn to express; learn to silently observe, also should learn to share the heart; learn to compromise the ideal Guardian contusion, beyond retain ordinary; and all of these need a no one can teach, can only rely on your own fumbling "". For you, the university is not just a knowledge or knowledge creation; with the development of Chinese society, with more and more one-child parents and society has been "off" in primary school (even from kindergarten to high school) campus, in fact, today's University has had to silently bear another important social functions: it was the last training camp before the young people into the modern social life.

   Don't think this is just for your personal life happiness and success that occupation, this is actually we this is the transformation of the development needs of the community. It is general, can text knowledge or skills are not sufficient to organize a we are willing to accept the modern society, just told parents or teachers are not enough to cope with the harsh and sometimes dangerous world of life. In addition, the books outside the classroom, each of us, especially the legal person, especially Peking University legal person, need many other things, including (but not limited to) mind, vision, imagination, compassion and on this basis it may happen to your sincere concern for the people around, and even for the whole China and the entire human race concern.

   The last sentence is not an exaggeration. Because, China society has been in the market economy and in the flow of personnel increasingly integrated -- you may bring a little accent of the Mandarin is a symbol of the world; have in Global trade, communication and even conflicts increasingly integrated -- your bed English version of Harry Potter or mobile phone in your pocket is a case in point. Not just to punish crime, not just "the struggle for the rights", even is not the main legal papers and books, today's law become more and more like a with strangers, seeking compromise, consensus, strive for win-win arena, a kind of social intercourse activity. Chinese need more calm and imaginative action law today, China legal person the world today is in need of more excellent action.

   Fortunately for you, not only because you came to the Peking University law school, because today's China, today's world. Think of how many as you like, even younger than your Chinese young blood spilled into the land and therefore only luck is not enough?. Even if not everyone can not escape the responsibility for the living and the dead, had a little accident means lucky, so does not mean that the future must have lofty -- if you too much attention test, score, go abroad, study, personal feelings and countless others but you are doomed to troubles and disputes.

   Most likely, your talent, confidence, experience and many other things are challenged here for the first time, high school or bachelor's degree duguqiubai experience will end here. You will meet many with confusion, doubt, youth with frustration and pain, maybe your first love, maybe more is love and romance. But even so, please remember: no what may be specified in your future, most can only be regarded as a "hit by youth".

   Or the last sentence, I believe, in here, you will spend maybe you're not happy, not to you the most brilliant, but must do you miss the most time!

                                            I bless you!
