    To turn to the legal profession, Xu Chuanxi's own explanation is: "the law is concerned with human subjects in the most involved in the discipline, practicality, is a 'knowledge' to 'line' discipline." After in-depth understanding of human society, to use the law to responsible for social participation, improve the social reality, is the pursuit of this choice.

    The development of space rich income, good social position, good living and working conditions, broad...... For the success of two words, what better interpretation? Xu Chuanxi at this time, only thirty years old.

　　Create the law school

    The campus of the China University of Political Science and Law, there is a red brick building. The guards know, on the two floor, the light is bright late one, is a dean's office. American law school a lot of pioneering work, completion is the only more than 10 square meters of old room.

    "Why did you choose to?" They calculated brushstroke Zhang: in China for 5 years, the economic losses of at least 10 million. One of his American lawyer friend that he only took 60000 yuan annual salary after returning home, could not help but to sigh: "you are really very noble!" Xu Chuanxi's explanation is: "scholars to their academic reserves and life belief based on, to determine their position...... Go abroad at the beginning, I know I will be back."

    In 1998, China University of Political Science and Law President Xu Xianming with China law education delegation, met with President Xu Chuanxi in the China law ", he is very concerned about the domestic economic, social and legal development. This heartfelt concern, indicates that the academic and practical Chinese must combine. I think at that time, he is an aspiring to return to service, serve the country's talent." The summer of 2002, the headmaster Xu Xianming thirst after talents found the short-term to visit Xu Chuanxi. When the principal Xu to invite him back is to create a comparative law as the focus, the urgent need for China's legal development of law school, Xu Chuanxi made a quick decision to return.

    One of the first year, without a penny, office expenses, adding up all the teachers and administrative staff, and he is the only person. He took out his savings in hundreds of thousands of yuan as start-up capital, his computer, printer, fax machine, telephone moved to the office, the use of years of academic contact invite Professor, specialist lectures. The procedures employed some administrative personnel without the timely implementation of, he used his savings to give them a period of wage.

    Many students don't know with her often ate lunch box Xu teacher has "so 'cattle' experience", they often see is, "Xu teacher always work for a long time in front of the computer, as if never knew fatigue". Due to long-term working at his desk and overwork, he suffered from myocarditis, many ill. The 85 year old old China comparison predecessors Mr. Pan Handian called, concerned told: "you are now doing pioneering work, is a person holding an edifice, must pay attention to the body."

Xu Chuanxi felt very happy: "Sino American law school for me is not an ordinary job, I gave it a part of my life. It is now back on track, and I hope that it gets better......"

　　The urgent need of talent cultivation

    I once had a system to teach America law and Comparative Law School of Law -- the east Wu School of law. Some Chinese are written to the world legal history such as Mei Ruao, Ni Zhengyu, jurist Li Haopei, graduated from the hospital. Unfortunately, the school was cancelled in 1952 College adjustment.

    Xu Chuanxi thinks, the countries of Anglo American law system (especially American) over the years has been in the international community to occupy a dominant position, the Anglo American law and comparative law has become maintain national, corporate and individual interests, the means necessary to enhance our international influence. For example, in recent years "Chinese manufacturing" often in the international market anti-dumping proceedings, due to the lack of this knowledge, enterprises tend to be at a loss what to do. In has occurred in 378 cases of anti-dumping case, at least 50% of the enterprises do not respond. This negative practice, make each other in our absence "trial" in the win, many enterprises have therefore been squeezed out of the international market. But American law school, is to provide a platform for the cultivation of such talents.

    Xu Chuanxi began to advocate "gnosis" teaching, namely the law school classroom to teach and the application of "true knowledge". In the teaching style, is the "original USA classroom". But in the content, is very concerned about the legal practice and theoretical thinking at home, often for the corresponding comparison and analysis, the important case of analysis, discussion...... In class, students playing the responding to the China enterprises, with English defense; under the platform, Xu Chuanxi layers of doubt, ruthless. He will young students to hone into the backbone to defend the interests of the state.

    At present, the school has 15 full-time teachers, focused almost entirely on the domestic from USA access to formal law degree, all young legal professionals to teach. USA Yale University doctor of law Hao Qian said, she has finally decided to come back, mainly due to Xu Chuanxi's excellent background and achievement, will proceed without hesitation to output, she should follow after. She remembered Xu Chuanxi's appeal, the sentence is: "the current momentum of development of domestic is not occur even in a hundred years, if we can get involved, you do something together, rather than in the abroad to earn some money, buy a car more meaningful."

    Supreme national interests

    After returning home, Xu Chuanxi successively by the relevant state ministries and commissions hired as a legal adviser or consultant. These are usually related to the state and national interests, time is pressing, the complexity of the situation, every time go to all lengths to him.

    In 2003 August, he was appointed by the State Council, as the chief legal experts attended the meeting in South Korea in the World University Sports Federation twenty-eighth plenary session. At the meeting, officials in charge Chinese sent (Zhang Xinsheng, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Education) will run for the vice chairman of the federation. Xu Chuanxi of the Federation of legal frameworks and international practice is researched in detail, and together with other members of the campaign, specifically in charge of USA, New Zealand and other major western countries delegation, to persuade. Finally, Chinese to the Federation of history the highest votes in the first round. After the meeting, the delegation had come to China seats before shaking hands with Zhang Xinsheng and Xu Chuanxi congratulated, and solemnly said, "we put China vote, we moved to China could have such a talent, there is such a strong national cohesion and".

    In 2003 October, Xu Chuanxi again to China delegation chief legal experts attended the meeting in Paris of the World Heritage Convention fourteenth session of the conference of States parties, drafting Chinese as chairman of the World Heritage Committee to submit the report on the work of the various legal documents and files, processing, "often is 2:00 seven o'clock meeting, we should do a good job in addition a document". The meeting was finished, he was surprised to find his temples, he took many white hair.

    In 2005 January, Xu Chuanxi held in Austria to attend the World University Sports Federation Executive Committee, to assist China's Harbin succeeded in turn, become the host city for the 2009 World University Winter Games. In addition, he also served as 2005 Songhua River pollution incident legal consultant, advising on Russian relations to the general office of the state council.

    For these are not paid work, Xu Chuanxi said: "in the international arena, can deeply feel the forces of national interest. In the rest of one's life for his country, is a great honor for me."

    In order to serve the country, he gave up many, have to sacrifice a lot, but still no regrets. Although in the interview process, he didn't have a lot of emotion, but after listening to his story and you will know, this looks "cool" scholars, how to have a boiling soul. (Chen Xi.
