From the Great Northern Wilderness to the counselor teacher Ye Yuansheng

Mr. Ye Yuansheng is the first law school of Peking University teacher I touch. In February 28, 1978, after a 28 hour train up more than 3 in the morning, I arrived at the Beijing Railway Station, out of the station, see to the exit of the Peking University receive new stalls, above a banner, write "welcome the new students", here are a few table, several teachers and students are busy a. I registered his name, was placed into the bus stopped at the edge of the Peking University, to catch. At school, I was greeted with teacher Ye Yuansheng.

The next case, who have experienced the new report is very familiar to everyone. Among the students, and teachers meeting, school education, and then began to intense study. In this process, Ye Yuansheng worked as a teacher, each of our students, especially in the field to the students doing trivial, but to just to Beijing life of students is a very important service. The teacher was tied with two pigtails, dressed in an old military uniform, sometimes also beam waist with a belt, be rash and too much in haste, quick action, high efficiency. I know that she is out of the Great Northern Wilderness educated youth.

The teacher actually age also and we almost, but looks older than us much, for those of us students, like a sister to brother, sister more affectionate and considerate. For the first time in 30 years, it gave me the impression is very deep, in my sick after her for taking care of me. Because do not adapt to the northern diet, I entered the school a month, he got acute gastroenteritis. This kind of disease, a doctor of medicine is one aspect, it is more important to pay attention to diet, rest and recuperation. But at the time of the Beijing University student canteen, no such conditions. Because our breakfast is cornmeal porridge (maize porridge), noon Steamed Rice rarely, mostly Steamed buns, often is the wo Wotou by corn. For me this was used to eat a Steamed Rice and rice porridge the southerner, is indeed a very painful thing, the better is very bad.

Seeing this, I comfort leaves the teacher hand, said she was in the Great Northern Wilderness also have stomach trouble, have no what can this disease, can completely overcome it, to give me encouragement and courage. On the other hand, said he was in Shanghai, so she knows Shanghai people do not eat cornmeal porridge and steamed bread, so she just as counselors, actively and university hospital and cafeteria open communication, patient meal to me often, a patient meal note, you can eat some soft, easy to digest the noodles and rice porridge in the food hall. It is in the teacher's encouragement and care, I was able to control, physically recovered a bit.

These things although has the past 30 years, some of the circumstances may the teacher I had forgotten, but I can't forget, in my heart forever. 

Calligrapher Li Zhimin teacher

Mr. Li Zhimin, I got a teacher the most Grace be most affected, in Peking University school. In addition to English, law, Germany, Russia Chinese language, wrote "the ancient civil law" the classic works and the history of civil law, civil law research and the marriage law courses by students welcome, his calligraphy, his temperament also moved me deeply.

In fact, Li Zhimin teacher's life is very unfortunate. In 1954, he graduated from the law department of Renmin University of China, assigned to the recovering Law Department of Peking University was founded. Just began to be hard in the civil law major, he in the "daily worker" work wife Meng Zhaorong was forthright in 1957 "anti rightist" campaign is hit into the right. Miss Li was involved, he still worked at Beijing University, but she was sent back to Hebei Tangshan. Unfortunately in the great Tangshan earthquake in 1976, two sons were killed, leaving only a daughter. So, when we enter, Mr. Lee and his wife both because of separation, school assignment not to the house, they had to live in the dormitory, and we are in the same building.

The students remembered, teacher Li is a rich professional knowledge, solid, modest, gentle lofty scholars, especially his calligraphy art, at that time has reached a very high level. To me, besides these, there are a few things that I have a deeper understanding of his personality and character.

The first thing is I and the two brothers in the teacher's guidance, completed by the end of 1978 "on the sale of marriage" one article, coincides with the 1979 North held five four scientific research section, we in the symposium presented in this thesis. Results there are some teachers didn't agree with us, gives some comments on this article. I was very nervous at that time, after I asked the teacher how to do? Miss Li is very calmly said to me, do not stress, this paper detailed data, logical view, not extreme, theory circle and practice department comrades already and he said, this paper is of good quality, high level can be published in the journal.

After the seminar, we will in this article to vote for the "jurisprudence" editorial department, soon after, they received notice of editorial department, said the article was well written, will be published in the 1980 second issue. The incident left me a deep impression, recognized in the academic research, not afraid of controversy, don't be afraid of being criticized, to have a kind of self-confidence, to have their own position, do not easily give up their spend a great deal of work and acquire the viewpoints and conclusions.

The second thing is soon after, I have some feeling to read a book, completed a small paper, let the teacher to help me see, the guard. Mr. Lee see very carefully, then sent for me. See him out to lose one's beyond recognition of the article, I was a little nervous. Sure enough, he usually very easy-going, this very serious. And he said to me, you have written many articles, I'll help you changed many times, but you have some mistakes are always change don't come. For example,,,, these three words you remain unclear, with will not be correct; and as, "the so-called" means "said," can't add "behind", not as "so-called"; as, to each transition between a small title, related words to link, there should be a logical connection, internal between each paragraph, write the article was convincing.

At that time, although there are no mirror, but I feel to have a fever on the face is swollen, red. Thought from small to large, have not been so harsh criticism. On the way back, I'm a little depressed. But later, I more think more feel teacher Li said is reasonable, the people have a harvest, about Teacher Li also increasingly respect. Li was the teacher's criticism, until now also let me benefit a lot.

The third thing is a year later, Mr. Li has developed a "Marx doctrine on marriage and family law" book, published at that time more difficult, he let me in the summer vacation back to Shanghai, go to Shanghai a famous publishing house to ask, whether in the press. Back in Shanghai, I went to the director of the agency an editing room. Heard that the Beijing University student, he received me warmly. When I explained what, will miss li manuscript outline and some sample to show him, he asked me whether it is national or provincial research, or whether there is funding, teacher Li is a professor. I said this is the teacher Li Man years of achievements, not national and provincial research, also does not have the funds support, Mr. Li is not professors. Hearing this, his manner was somewhat cold. When they left, I asked, how your attitude? The manuscript can be published? He told me, they will also discuss. After returning home I immediately put this information to tell the teacher, he said it would wait. Until the end of the summer, we still did not get the reply.

On the day before returning to Beijing, I went to press, but not able to see the director, he's an editor received, I said to him, if you are not interested in this topic, the syllabus and sample back to me, I'll turn back to the teacher. He is very polite to say, they take care of the director, the topics they are considering, and did not say no. This gave me a little comfort. After returning to Beijing, I put the case detailed told Miss Li, after he listens, also very helpless, say, then we will wait. A semester has passed, still no news of what.

The winter vacation to return to Shanghai, I went to the press, this would still not be able to see the director, but the editor told me a good information, said director at the Beijing meeting, Miss Li to the director of hotel to see him a detailed interview. I'll put this news to teacher li. That night, Mr. Li is in accordance with the agreed time to the director of the hotel, but the hotel said he went out, Mr Li had to wait more than 9, more than half an hour, still did not see the director's shadow. The second day I and Mr. Lee on the phone, he did not say what, you told me not to go to press, the manuscript was put on.

This thing is very exciting to me, I was a very strong feeling, in China, an ordinary intellectuals in the society is so no place, in the cause of achievement will be how difficult. I think, in the future if you want to be engaged in this occupation, then ready to be cold-shouldered, tortured, and hard-working, firm and indomitable attitude. From then on, I to press some head less trust, a bit more alert.

Teacher Li to my academic help is unable to use language to describe, but I have not been able to repay him well. In 1982 I returned to Shanghai during the exam, read foreign legal history study in East China University Of Politics and Law, a teacher a few times in Shanghai, there are some lectures, and peer exchange calligraphy art Shanghai Univer Academy of Fine Arts. But I was limited to the financial, failed to properly treat the teacher.

In 1984 I graduate thesis research, to Beijing, also visited the teacher. The teacher is like me at Beijing University, to help me, help me to collect data, and personally some French translation into Chinese, use and reference for me to write this. Think back to the teacher of all this selfless act, I would move can not be made.

Most makes me sad is the teacher from the onset to death time is not long, but this time, I study was in Japan, I by the end of 1994 the home, the teacher has passed away to the west, I failed to see the teacher finally one side, left a lifelong regret. I still have these feelings, in front of his teacher Meng Zhaorong dare not say, for fear of her sad.

This year just to commemorate our North law department in 77 school thirty anniversary, the classmates all say you can write some of the deepest feelings in these thirty years, so I wrote the above text, to comfort the teacher the spirit of the deceased.

Good shy by Rong teacher

The teacher by Rong, from Yunnan, was born in 1932, graduated from the law department of Renmin University of China, is a foreign legal history in the long term, as the vice president of the National Academy of foreign legal history study. He is kind, shy, honesty, tolerance, stand aloof from worldly success. I know the teacher after listening to his "foreign legal history" course.

I remember in the first class, the teacher took a map of the world, when we explain to Babylon "code of Hammurabi", by the teacher on the map as the center, with the social and historical development, establishes reasons, main contents and basic characteristics of the code, image, vivid, all of us can eat with appetite. I'm interested in foreign legal history, is from listening to the beginning by this class teacher. The examination questions, is the "Rome" of China debt and inspiration, I write more than ten thousand words, probably in the students is the longest, although now in retrospect, at that time was mainly put all sorts of things together some of the information, and not what new ideas, but the teacher gave me a a "good", I'm encouraged by, on foreign legal history is more like a.

Then, I and the teacher contact a lot, also went to his home and ask questions. The teacher love teacher Li, in the law department of Beijing University Library work, and is also a very good shy people, see I didn't speak up, face first red, then passion for me to pour tea. When I talk and by the teacher, she often sat there watching us, sometimes I don't listen to, turned her one eye, she immediately face a red, turned aside. The teacher couple very deep feelings, be deeply attached to each other, until today. Teacher Li body is weak, have for many years not to get up, the teacher gave up all activities, including up to his beloved foreign legal history conference, attend to teacher li.

The teacher's attitude is rigorous, solid professional foundation, is one of the founders of the Anglo American law and German law research field of study. After I graduated from University East China University Of Politics and Law teachers Xu Yimin foreign legal history master, is recommended by teachers, because he and Miss Xu is friend for many years. As a student, it is a professional, all these years, I and the teacher has more contact. Can say, in the field of foreign legal history in each and every one of my progress, and by the teacher help, help.

Passionate teacher Sun Guohua

Sun Guohua is our teacher, basic theory of law (then known as the "state and law theory") the first teacher of the class, several other, a teacher is Luo Yuzhong, he was a young assistant, lectures very seriously, later research has long been engaged in science and technology law, served as editor in chief of "foreign law", Dean of the Law School of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the thirty anniversary of our school, Mr. Luo Yuzhong also came, and we sat at a table, chat very happy.

Another is Jiang Tongguang teacher, the title was a lecturer, the lesson is very good, the logic is very strong, the students are very like him. But because he is in the "Cultural Revolution" have participated in Beijing University, Tsinghua University Writing Team (pen name "beam") activity, so later I just left the law department of Beijing University, now which unit work we are not clear. The Peking University Law Department in 77 school thirty anniversary celebration, the students publish "celebration," manual "in the law department of Peking University 77 grade teacher list", nor did his name, I am very sad. Because I touch and feel, ginger teacher is a good person.

Now we will talk to Sun Guohua teacher. Miss sun was giving us a lesson, but also has more than 50 years old (teacher sun was born in 1925), but he is very full of energy, a loud voice, speech in particular, and passion, talent overflowing.

About law, Marx and Engels's concept and basic theory, familiar, almost without looking at the notes. Our classmates had privately think, Chinese Marx law expert, Mr. Sun was the first person to do. Especially valuable is, Marx's law teacher sun's view, the experience of thirty years, what changes has not occurred, his faith is strong, persistent, and sincere. The summer of 1978, Renmin University of China School of law after the recovery, Mr. Sun Guohua returned to the people, he is not too to university, Peking University, we saw his opportunity is rare.

And Mr. Sun contact more work, because I am engaged in teaching and research of foreign legal history, and Marx's jurisprudence are closely related, and some important legal science basic theory seminar, I and teacher sun attended, so, we will often meet, talk to also a lot of opportunities. Of course, the first few times, on the one hand because the sun teacher taught the students more, to me the impression is not deep; on the other hand, undergraduate course graduation I entered Graduate School in Chinese politics, until graduation, nearly 10 years of time I buried in his study, basically no out of Shanghai, and academia very little contact. So, to see Miss Sun, I have to introduce myself.

Later, I met many times, and miss sun is more familiar, the conversation is more and more abundant. My teacher sun most admired, is he to the academic, especially Marx s legal theory rigid; two is his cheerful personality, strong body, people over the age of 80, also riding a bicycle; three is the dancing career, on life, on students' passion, singing, all kinds of activities participate actively. These, are what we should Study hard.

Zhang Guohua: the student teacher
  
About teacher Zhang Guohua, there may be many students to recall the Dean, because he served as legal system. So I am here described slightly a little short.

Zhang very dedicated, devoted to work. He served as the director of the Department of a few years, is the most beautiful time for the law department of Beijing University, is in the lead position in the legal education, in the classroom, Zhang Guohua teacher is very popular with the students. Although he is not tall, but his voice is loud, the gas is very full, full of passion. Moreover, he was in the pulpit, also often dance with joy, especially the rich body language. His language is very concise, but the full, strict, giving us the feeling is, his words more words, is wordy; but if less one, will not be complete. 
  
As for the profound erudition, Zhang, and mastery of the historical data, the character and thinking of the in-depth analysis, is in the superior, super class. Because of this, Zhang with personal charm, will be our class some students are attracted.

Wu Shuchen, Li Keqiang are his admirers. Old Wu finally embarked on the research history of legal thought Chinese Road, and not unrelated to Mr. zhang. Keqiang had once want to engage in China history of law teaching and research -- which he has said to me. And I, started on civil law, marriage law is interested, so at that time and the Civil Law Department of the Li Zhimin teacher contact. However, after listening to Mr. Zhang (including Rao Xinxian, from China, Pu Jian teacher) class, have started to legal history interested.

Rao Xinxian: interested teachers
  
Rao Xinxian (1923-2003), from Hunan, graduated from Nanjing National Chengchi University, engaged in underground work.

Style and Zhang Rao teachers are not the same, his speech has been slowly, the voice is thin, the pronunciation and intonation undulating, but because the body has been relatively weak, so the class when he most of the time are sitting talking. So, listen to Rao's class teacher, the need to slowly taste, can feel the rich connotation among them, feel his erudition, and strict logic. On the other hand, unlike Mr. Zhang Guohua, Rao teachers not Chinese history of law major. He was Nanjing City Intermediate Court judges, is responsible for the trial of criminal cases, and later on Chinese history of legal thought to be interested in, just to teach this course.

His son Rao Geping, read and study of international law students in Peking University Law Department, we know. He make a spurt of progress in the study of international law achievements, is now Chinese international law society's executive vice president. His little son Rao, after graduation in China "law" editorial department, we have had several contacts. Rao teachers like chess, is a self-cultivation good, very elegant people, give people the feeling is a bit of a modest, self-disciplined gentleman. Rao teachers was not in very good condition, especially the legs more difficult, sitting for a long time, and when I stood up also very difficult. So, every time he attended the conference, he is generally to follow, in order to take care of him.

Zhang, Rao two teachers already drive he cents to discipline, but they create a history of ideas China legal professional, has grown increasingly strong. They were single handedly nurtured "the four King Kong": Wu Shuchen, Li Guilian, Zhang Mingxin, Duan Qiu Guan, are Chinese legal thought history circles level figure. Their disciples, is all over the country all walks of life. Therefore, the two teachers if known, should be happy happy.

Not the winter scarf Pujian teacher 

Pu Jian teachers give us open is the curriculum China legal history. At that time, give us a lecture Chinese legal history teacher two people, there is a legal department deputy director Professor Xiao Yongqing -- but this time we held 77 grade school 30 anniversary celebration, playing out pamphlets on the list of the classroom teacher, teacher Xiao Yongqing to forget, this is very regrettable. I remember, when the Shaw teacher teaching Han law, Pu teachers other various dynasties law.

Pu the teachers explain profound theories in simple language, the proof is rigorous, speak peace, language humorous. But what impressed us most is not only these, but his start from winter to summer weather is hot, still the scarf around. This is not for decoration, also is not in order to give students increase knowledge feeling, but because Pu teacher severe bronchitis.

It should be said, Pu teacher at the age is not too large, is fifty years old, but he is weak constitution, especially severe bronchitis, let him eat enough bitterness. When we speak and he could hear, very anxious, very heavy breathing. I remember when I China legal history of interest, therefore, often ask him some questions, at the same time, because of Xiao Yongqing's teacher and the Department of administrative work, so some should be made by the Shaw teacher counseling problems, I will ask the teacher to pu. But to see such a hard look, the teacher, I often see him face too afraid to ask. However, Pu teacher is very strong, very optimistic, he whether this set, breathing tube to breathe, talk to, talk also lectures, guidance counseling. This often makes me very touched.

After graduating from University, about 10 years, I have never had the opportunity to go to Beijing, also did not attend the annual meeting of the China legal history opportunity, so there is no chance to meet each other and Pu teacher. But from the Beijing students there, often hear about him, said his academic achievements continuously, the body is also more and more strong, the year scarf days less. Hearing this, I feel very gratified. After the 1995 I served as vice president of East China University Of Politics and Law, out of the opportunity to meet up, meet with PU teacher has many opportunities. What impressed me most was the 1998 Chinese legal history conference.

The meeting, by Chen Jinquan of Southwest University of Political Science and Law (Institute of legal history teacher China executive president) to undertake, is one of the most romantic years in recent years a variety of academic annual meeting. We in Chongqing after the Western school-based Department report, the night on the Yangtze River Cruise, the meeting on a cruise along the Yangtze River, has been going, to the Wushan county land, continue to open. Because of the Three Gorges Project will start in second years, Wushan county will be permanently submerged in the bottom, so we attend the meeting on behalf of all took many photos. In Wushan, after the open ceremony, we went our separate ways, returned home, continue to travel to travel. I, Wang Limin (Hua Zheng vice president, learn to Chinese legal history executive president) and Pu teacher of several people, all the way to the small Three Gorges and the little Three Gorges, finally in Yichang hand. In the past few days, Pu teacher and I can talk about anything, from the family to the academic, from the Department of colleagues, to their students. Although our age are more than 30 years old, but not to the point of generation gap between us feeling. I am moved by his being open-minded, strong, good attitude, academic persistence; he certainly me these years of efforts, I think for the gas to the law department of Beijing University, won the honor for our class.

On the way back to Shanghai, the opposition of people about Pu teacher of the past, we are all feeling: nothing is constant, the society is changing, people are changing, people's physical condition is changing. In the young people who are good, if not pay attention, after the old, the body will collapse; and vice versa. Pu teacher belongs to the youth body weak, but because he is open-minded, strong, good attitude, and pay attention to maintenance, but the body is getting better results. In the little Three Gorges drifting, he is our young people have more cheerful.

From 1998 to the present, and the past ten years. Nowadays, peer and teacher Pu Jian, even smaller than his age point of legal history scholars have died. However, Pu teachers is still very healthy and active in the academic circles, it is very gratifying. It seems, next time when you see the teacher, I must ask him how to maintain the body problem.

Elegant lofty Shen Zongling teacher

Shen Zongling teacher, not tall, the people are thin, and with a strong Shanghai accent. In our law 77 class teacher, the teacher is a relatively late teaching, we read the big three on his. At that time, he gave us a lecture of the elective course "in modern western philosophy of law".

When we read two, three (1979, 1980), because the beginning of reform and opening up, the western legal system, legal thought including legal philosophy, are still very strange. 
  
There is no textbook (Beijing University Teacher Zhang Hongsheng editor of the new Chinese first textbook "the history of western legal thoughts" was published in 1983), no reference books (Shen Zongling teacher "in modern western philosophy of law" is 1984 by the legal publishing house). Although some western library collection law Master's works, such as the Duguit's "constitution", "Grotius International Code" ("the law of war and peace" interpretation), but the quantity is very limited. So when the law works and legal philosophy teacher system in the classroom teaching Western distinguished jurists, has been warmly welcomed by the students.

Because I am in the University, in the township government three years, received basic training, fast recording so, in the teaching process the teacher in, I will be almost every word are recorded. Can say, my notes of the lecture, was the most complete. It not only to the other students in the class were used, but also make it legal department of China politics teacher room some benefit.

I graduated in 1982 admitted to the Chinese government for graduate study, a law teacher to teach us to I borrowed the teacher's lecture notes, prepare lessons, write the script, and then to teach us. Of course, be honest, Shen teacher's lecture I is all recorded down, but the legal philosophy on western jurists when not deep understanding and grasp of fashion.

The teacher usually not much, but also serious in speech and manner, more serious. Give people the feeling is relatively high, very gentle, but he is very sincere, very warm. He focus on academic writing, treat time as gold, but for our learning requirements can generally be satisfied. At that time, I had visited his home several times, to ask him some jurisprudence learning problems. Each time, he will put down the live, answered all the questions I patiently, including some now in retrospect is very childish problems.

After graduation, because not a professional teacher Shen and I do, so to meet in the conference the opportunity are not many. Occasionally there are a few times, it is far from the location nod, even if it is called. Sometimes I'm afraid of him to forget my name, shake hands just to self introduction, he immediately said: "I know, you are He Qinhua. Your mentor teacher Xu Yimin body recently?" Make me very touched. A business trip to Beijing, I have also been there several times Shen teacher's house, he was like, immersed in the book, a book. Sometimes, some dynamic will talk to me of foreign philosophy circles newest, made some of his personal evaluation of some jurists.

Shen was born in 1923, is now a 85 year old man, also had a small stroke, but he recovered well, thinking is very clear. As a student USA integrity law intellectuals, he also received unfair treatment in 1957, has been designated as a "rightist", but he was very dull, think China is a developing country, is also a transforming country, some twists and turns in politics, all is normal.

I wish this article to him, Zhu Shen teachers good health, happy life.

The glamour of teacher Gong Xiangrui 

Miss Gong Xiangrui was in Shanghai, so to speak is a port with a Shanghai accent mandarin. Teacher Gong was offered to us is the foreign constitution and comparative constitutional course, his lecture full of passion, sonorous voice, face vivid, rich, changeful, laugh roars, humorous, all can be expressed in a class, fully and delightfully, go all lengths, so we often hear one Leng one Leng, attention attracted by the past. Our team hobby photography what mountain, the various expressions of Gong of the teacher in the classroom filmed, so far to see people, all without exception be overwhelmed with admiration for.

Due to the excellent teacher Gong class effect, so a class down, the number of students in our class are attracting over. Originally interested in civil and commercial law, criminal law, legal history, such as Tao Jingzhou, Li Keqiang, Chen Xingliang, Jiang Mingan, Li Qijia, Wang Shao Guang, Liu Fengming, Wang Jianping et al., are attracted to the surrounding Gong teacher. Many people later also admired Gong teacher, he recommended to graduate studies abroad. Some of his influence, began teaching and research in constitutional law and administrative law, Jiang Mingan is a.

I was eager to return to Shanghai, not considering going abroad, on constitutional law and administrative law was not much interested, so I didn't attend the Gong teacher organization's interest groups. Therefore, and Gong teacher contact is not much, but because Shanghai is the man's sake, I also visited his home several times.

Now remember, the deepest impression is my master study in East China University Of Politics and Law, then a test method to consult him. And he said to me, he in the Chinese government did not know the teacher, but the postgraduate examination skills, interests and direction is to consider their teacher's research. He knows I want to apply for a professional teacher of Xu Yimin, he said: "you will get Xu teacher written works, published papers and mimeograph materials, lectures, get them familiar, even they are back out, you're not afraid, ensure you get high marks." Then he told me the truth: Test and research are not the same, the exam is by rote, but research can have its own independent thinking, to have their own point of view. He was very confident to say to me, you listen to me no wrong, ensure that you have. Later, I followed him to review, sure enough, got in China administrative examination first.

After graduation from the University, I and teacher gong at conferences met a few times. He felt at the time the central advocated in the reform of political system is very active, has written many articles about the western constitutionalism and rule of law. In this regard, I am very concerned, his civil service system in western countries, comparative constitutional and administrative law, as well as the western judicial system and other works, I have one one treasures.

In addition, I felt his body is very good, although a study at the university when he told me, he had a stomach bleeding, stayed in the hospital, but later recovered well. Unfortunately, not long after, he died of illness. It is a pity.

It should be said, Gong Xiangrui teacher experience is very rough. He is a British Labour leader of his students, graduated from the London School of economics and Political Sciences, and Mr. Wang Tieya are alumni, is also the time of the northern most one of the three disciples of the famous jurist Qian Duansheng (there are two is Wang Tieya, Lou Kunihiko). But he later and the relationship between money, Wang, floor three gentlemen are strained, because in 1957 "anti rightist movement", he stood out against Mr. Qian, results, three other gentlemen were divided into the right wing, but he escaped. Therefore, Gong teacher for many people despise. However, objectively speaking, in the "anti rightist movement" (including the Cultural Revolution) special period that twisted mind, wife husband, critical phenomenon meet the eye everywhere exposed children parents, Gong teachers do, may also have many helpless and difficulties.

Teacher Gong on the new China constitutionalism and rule of law development, and made many contributions. Because of this, I write down these words to show the spirit of the deceased to the festival, mr..

To study the teacher Wang Zhe in Moscow 

Wang Zhe teacher, has long been engaged in the history of western legal thoughts and Russian philosophy of law teaching and research work, is one of China's history of western legal thought subject pioneers and builders. Before we entered the University, teacher Wang has taken the lead in the opening of Western political and legal thought history curriculum, in 1979 he presided over the preparation of "the history of Western political thought" as the formal teaching internal issue, the book lays a good foundation for the unified teaching material "the history of western legal thoughts" publishing, is from the curriculum name to content system are other universities of similar material model, laid a foundation for the construction of the discipline. Teacher Wang is the first, the first doctoral tutor professor.

In my impression, teacher Wang work be conscientious and do one's best, love of teaching, academic, caring for his disciples, incentives, direct culture Chinese higher legal talents devoted all his life. Doctor I read Teacher Wang, he also encouraged the results. In 1995, I served as vice president of the Chinese government, according to the education policy, the doctoral training model is more suitable for me, just sign up in the north.

In this way, I became the history of western legal thought PhD student. Teacher Wang working ability is very strong, high efficiency, under his guidance, I read smoothly. 3 years later, in January 16, 1998, I attended the doctoral dissertation of Peking University Law Department organization.

That day, the whole city of Beijing snow, the temperature dropped to the lowest point since the beginning of winter, but in the small conference room north building of law, it is spring. In her teacher Wang, by Professor Xiao Yuyun of the department chairman, said Professor Zhao Zhenjiang, Wang Zhe, Rong, by Li Guilian, and the Renmin University of China law professor Lv Shilun, a former member of the forest Rongnian Defense Committee, unanimously passed my PhD thesis "the origin and evolution of European private law.".

The reply process, full of honest, friendly, humorous atmosphere. Because the question a lot, and I'm a little nervous, error, but I am very sincere. For example, in the question and answer the historical school course of legal development of, I missed the "stage of development of law law" (this is the reply after brother Zheng Ge told me). The most laughable is, when Xiao teacher as chairman of three questions, because this is the last mention, I also prepare the final answer, but in the end he forgot to answer these three questions. The respondent at the end, Ms. Wang did not continue to ask, have a meal together, all the teachers didn't mention. Until a person back to the hotel, I remember.

Now in retrospect, it does not mean that the north of the doctoral dissertation requirement is not strict, but reflects a tolerance. Then one time with Miss Wang chat, he said that in fact the teachers (including the Shaw teacher) did not forget, they just see me most of the questions have been answered very well, so I no longer mention.

Then, every time I go to Beijing, will find the chance to go to the north to visit Mr. Wang Zhe. At this time, the teacher has been suffering from bronchitis is very serious, speak more difficult, it will be very slow. When he saw me always very excited, will say more long time. He talked more, is that I have a good state of mind. He said, when the president, responsibility is major, can "progress" is good, without the opportunity also does not matter, correct mentality, the main energy used in management of school, good school, let the teachers and students benefit. Every time I listen to feel a lot of harvest, the mood also greatly improved.

Fourteen forty-seven on December 18, 2007, Mr. Wang Zhe is in Beijing's death, at the age of 76. This year, for me, perhaps is really unfortunate years, another one of my Mentors (MSc) -- East China University of politics and law professor Xu Yimin in July 26th was also away from us. Infinite melancholy, sad, also some solace: many disciples teacher training has been shown in motherland each work outstanding, is for the country, as people's hard dedication. In this case, the teacher's academic life and ideal of life and the pursuit of, have been preserved, and to carry forward.

Wang Zhe, Hebei people, born in 1932, the autumn of 1954 the Soviet Union national law department of Moscow State University, graduating in 1959 after returning home, work in the legal department of Peking University. From 1979 to 1981 were selected to the Yugoslavia Belgrade University as a visiting scholar, retired in 2002.
