一、since last few weeks, i have been constantly checking my weibo and paying much
attention to the case of zhuling. she was poisoned by thallium, and that brought her
permanent paralysis. chinese people want the poisoner punished and justice done. yet
until this moment, the criminal is still at large. to fight for zhuling’s interests
and everyone’s interests as well, over 130,000 users have signed a petition at the
website of white house, demanding the us investigate a suspicious woman. it may be
unreasonable; but this is actually an outlet for the publics long-term
dissatisfaction at the absence of justice.
二、while some guilty people are free, some innocent people are prisoned for years.
in last few months, the press highlighted the events that several men spent a long
time of their life in prison as a result of miscarriages of justice. what is worse
is we don’t know exactly how many people are still suffering from it at the moment,
and how many people would.
we doubt if justice is still alive in china, we wonder if the law still protects
our people’s life and property, we question if there is still anyone who fights for
our fundamental rights.
三、however confused or inexperienced, i, a freshmen majoring in law, try to figure out these questions. the word justice is usually associated with courts of law. people might say that
justice has been done when a man’s innocence or guilt has been proved beyond doubt.
however, the reality is: we usually undertake an arduous journey seeking the truth
but we can never be sure that we will find it. and judges, however wise or eminent,
are human and can make mistakes. such disappointing reality must frustrate some
people, especially who know little about law, who naively think law can’t go wrong.
so, when something does go wrong, their faithfulness is suddenly shattered and they
will never believe in law again.
四、but i believe that law can make differences.
i admit chinese judicial system is way far from perfect, but i can also see the
remarkable progress of it. the transformation is undertaken and more rights are
entitled to people. an increasingly transparent, just and efficient image of
judicature is clearer. a proper legal framework is starting to replace the habit of
personal relationships as the principle weapon and defense the people’s interests.
all these above show that we are stepping forward.
i believe in law, and i believe it is better to fight for justice than to rail
at the ill. but truth be told, i am not really proud of it. during the economic takeoff, we
face great challenges, such as food safety, environment protection and disparity
between rich and poor. our beautiful country and our children’s futures are too high
a price to pay for economic growth.
a healthier and sustainable economic development is based on good order. and since
law is order, we should exert the influence of law on economic fields to boost the
economy and protect people’s interests at the same time.
二、a series of reports on poisonous food, especially the melamine scandal, has
