Lawyer's Benevolence-Reminds Wang Guangren, Honorary President of Shandong Lawyers Association and Director of Zhongcheng Qingtai Law Firm

today's jinan daily carried an article about director wang guangren, the original text of which is as follows:

Director Wang Guangren

The light in the study was still on, as it had been every night before.
Work materials were spread out one by one on the desk: the law firm's development plan, work summary, annual meeting speech for the next three years......
The 70-year-old man at the table reviewed word by word with a high-powered magnifying glass and revised it in a straight line. Because of his early work injury, his left eye was almost blind, and he felt dizzy after reading the text for a little longer. However, he did not pay attention to the harm to the body of this way of working, still buried in the vast amount of documents. He once explained: "Only in this way can we understand the development trend of the industry and make a good overall layout for the future."
In the last few hours of his life, Wang Guangren, honorary president of Shandong Lawyers Association and director of Zhongcheng Qingtai Law Firm, did these things.
The time is fixed in the early morning of January 29, 2018.

38 years of passion defense

In one's life, there are always several key nodes. At the age of 33, Wang Guangren made an important choice in his life.

In 1980, the new China lawyer system has just been restored. Wang Guangren, a former soldier, a doctor and a cadre of Jinan government organs, responded to the call of the state and chose a profession that was quite unfamiliar to the Chinese at that time-lawyer.
Before coming out of the sense of honor of being awarded the first batch of lawyers, Wang Guangren encountered a problem. At that time, many units and individuals thought that lawyers were defending criminals, and they were in conflict with them, and they did not know to find a lawyer when they encountered legal problems. Wang Guangren feels that it is necessary to be urgent and really help people solve problems in order to gradually expand the influence of lawyers. At that time, color TV sets were gradually popularized in China. A supply and marketing company in Jinan spent 580000 yuan to buy a batch of old color TV sets. As a result, 90% of them were waste products. The company's leaders have repeatedly negotiated to no avail and are worried: this is the profit of more than 100 employees for a year! Wang Guangren represented this case. After several months of rushing and eloquence, he recovered most of the economic losses and resolved the crisis.
The profession of a lawyer is inseparable from dealing with money and human nature, and inducements and threats are often accompanied. Once, Wang Guangren represented a case of recourse for payment. The party concerned first visited with expensive gifts. After being rejected, he took two strong men to his house and made a scene. Wang Guangren became angry and told them, "If I'm afraid of this, I won't be a lawyer!"
someone has made a film of wang guangren's acting case, entitled "defense of passion." People who know him say that Wang Guangren has defended with such passion for 38 years. He represented a number of cases of defense, agency words were included in the "national major case selection of agency words." Defining "Good Lawyer" by Action"
The wheel of time passed round and round. The young lawyers who were fledgling at that time have become senior elders, and lawyers have played an increasingly important role in promoting economic and social development and social civilization and progress. Wang Guangren's original intention of practicing has never changed, and his pursuit of being a good party member and a good lawyer has never stopped.
What is a good lawyer? Wang Guangren has his own definition: it is neither a simple superposition of the number of cases handled, nor a one-sided comparison of the depth of professional qualifications, nor a simple accumulation of income. It is a comprehensive concept composed of correct professional philosophy, correct professional ethics, excellent professional quality, and good professional reputation. It is a realm that can only be reached if lawyers are treated as careers.

In 2003, a government department in our city, as the defendant, was involved in a major foreign-related administrative compensation lawsuit. The case was the largest administrative compensation case in China at that time. Once it lost, it would not only pay a huge amount of compensation of more than 100 million yuan, but also seriously affect the reputation of the government.
At the critical moment, Wang Guangren stepped forward. He fought for more than 40 days, slept less than 5 hours a day, devoted all his energy to studying thousands of pages of materials involved in the case, and consulted a large number of laws and regulations and related works.
With Wang Guangren and his colleagues' thorough pre-trial preparation, sufficient evidence, solid legal skills and impeccable arguments, they won the first instance. Overwork caused Wang Guangren to have a large area of bleeding in the left eye. He had four operations and needed to lie prone all day within four months. In order to ensure the treatment effect, his family had to tie him to the bed. However, while he was hospitalized, the plaintiff appealed. In the worry of his family, Wang Guangren lay on the bed, studied the other party's appeal materials word by word with his assistant, and carefully deliberated and determined the second instance agent's opinion and the evidence to respond to the lawsuit. In the end, the court of second instance rejected all the plaintiff's claims. The price paid by Wang Guangren was that his left eye vision dropped to 0.08 and he could not see normally.

The "father" of a young lawyer"

When talking about Shandong lawyers, you can't get around Wang Guangren; when talking about Shandong law firms, you can't get around the Zhongcheng Qingtai Law Firm founded by Wang Guangren. Today, Zhongcheng Qingtai has 11 branches, 130 partners and more than 450 outstanding practitioners. It is ranked among the "50 Bar Firms in Asia" and is known as Shandong's "aircraft carrier in the legal world" and elite lawyers. "Whampoa Military Academy".
Back in 1988, a small rented office in downtown Jinan. Four people, a bicycle and a borrowed 5000 yuan start-up capital are Jinan Foreign Law Firm, the predecessor of Zhongcheng Qingtai. There, Wang Guangren, who was appointed to set up a law firm, painted a grand blueprint to his colleagues: "We want to build a high-level, high-quality, high-efficiency, and export-oriented large-scale institute!"
Relying on unique foresight and hard work, with good reputation and high-quality service, the law institute, led by Wang Guangren, trotted along with a solid pace. At the beginning, the seemingly unreachable goal was approached and surpassed step by step--

In 1992, the city took the lead in breaking the "iron rice bowl" of the State-owned Institute, which was renamed "Zhongcheng Renhe". In that year, the business income of the whole institute doubled;

In 2000, it took the lead in transforming the state-owned firm into a partnership, becoming the "vanguard" of the city's law firm reform ";

In 2011, he joined the China World Law Firm Alliance, a multinational legal service organization, to provide global legal services to clients;

In 2015, we merged and formed Zhongcheng Qingtai Law Firm to achieve a large leap in scale development, professional construction and business income generation;

In 2017, it successfully passed the acceptance of the provincial service industry standardization pilot project and became the first lawyer industry standardization demonstration unit in Shandong;
Shandong Province, the largest scale of law firms, the top 20 national scale, business and fees increased by more than 30% per year... In the eyes of many peers, to achieve this, should be able to "relax. In Wang Guangren's eyes, their career has just started.
In order to focus more on the top-level design of the law firm and the training of young lawyers, Wang Guangren voluntarily gave up a large number of businesses with higher economic benefits. "Money can't be earned. I have a more important job, which is to bring these young people together." He said this to reporters.

"My father left us very few memories. He devoted most of his energy to his work." In the eyes of his son Wang Hui, the firm is more like Wang Guangren's home, and the young lawyers in the firm are more like his children.
Young lawyers themselves think so, and they affectionately call Wang Guangren an "old man". Speaking of the old man's love, everyone has a story. Lawyer Du Wentang said that the "old man" also collected the latest articles on the development and management of the legal profession during his recuperation, compiled them into reference materials and sent them to everyone for study. Lawyer Tang Xiangdong said that the "old man" was very serious and a summary would be revised sentence by sentence to make comments. Lawyer Zhou jiakui said that the last time we talked, the "old man" also said he would help Tibet with young lawyers......
Wang Guangren has cultivated thousands of talents. He has insisted on teaching trainee lawyers in Shandong Province for more than ten years, and many people have become backbones; he has trained more than 100 law firm directors and partners, and his footprints have spread all over Shandong and even the whole country......

Be a lawyer first.

Farewell Wang Guangren day, the cold wind. The neighborhood was filled with wreaths and there was a long line of people to see off.

The lawyers trained by the "old man" came, the heads of many well-known domestic law firms came, and the friends, clients and strangers who had been helped by him also came... Many provincial and municipal law associations and many units sent messages of condolence.

"In 2016, Director Wang helped us review the contract. Because of a punctuation mark, he repeatedly communicated with me three times and considered the pros and cons." Ms. Nie, a legal officer of an enterprise, said that this detail left a deep impression on her and she must come to send Director Wang.
Wang Guangren put forward the service standard of "excellence and perfection" as the foundation of the law firm's life. It is this seemingly harsh standard that has enabled the law firm to maintain an impressive record of "zero complaints" since its establishment. No lawyer has been reported for violating professional ethics and practice discipline, and no client has been dissatisfied with the quality of service. There was no incident that caused losses to the client due to the fault of the lawyer's work.
Geng Guoyu, vice president of the Municipal Lawyers Association and director of Zhongcheng Qingtai (Jinan) Law Firm, still remembers the first sentence Wang Guangren said to him when he first joined the company: "To be a lawyer, be a person first." In the eyes of many people, the profession of lawyer can make a lot of money. However, the social responsibility and professional mission of lawyers always carry more weight than economic interests in Wang Guangren's heart.
Since 1999, with the support of Wang Guangren, the law firm has undertaken the investigation, evidence collection and litigation of labor claims against Japan in Shandong free of charge. Many lawyers have traveled all over Qilu and have been running to this day. They took the initiative to set up voluntary legal consultation rooms in the CDPF to serve hundreds of disabled people free of charge. They set up a team of lawyers for safeguarding the rights of sanitation workers. They set up gardener awards and student awards in poor rural middle schools; they serve as legal advisers for dozens of provincial and municipal organs and organizations all the year round, and they do not take any money; they need to donate money and materials, and they always make the most money in the legal profession in Jinan. Just a few days before Wang Guangren's death, the migrant workers' rights protection public welfare lawyer service team he formed was sworn in......

"Let youth shine in entrepreneurship and let people be sublimated in dedication." The people are gone, and the words are still in my ears. Wang Guangren has fulfilled his oath with his lifelong actions-to be a lawyer without regrets in this life.
