To be a lawyer, to be a human being first | Continues the spirit of Guangren to illuminate the road of development (III)

January 29, 2024 is the sixth year of Director Wang Guangren's death. We recall Director Wang Guangren here, continue to inherit the connotation of Guangren spirit, carry forward the fine traditions and advanced concepts of Guangren spirit, and encourage every person in Qingtai to continue to contribute to the development of the industry and society.

Life between heaven and earth, if fleeting, suddenly.

inadvertently, director wang guangren has been away from us for six years.

Six years, a long time. After six years of experience, lawyers who have just entered the profession are basically mature enough to be independent. More and more young lawyers in the firm can only feel the influence of the director on the law firm from the archival materials and cultural publicity. As long as the first batch of young lawyers with graduate degrees recruited by the director himself in that year, they have now reached the age of 40 and are starting to run for five.

Six years, and very short. As short as the old man's voice, appearance and smile are still as clear as before, and earnest teachings are still lingering in my ears. As short as talking about the sudden departure of the old man is still so sad, my heart is still very exclusive to touch this topic. As short as fragile and sad, my mood is still hard to control, and I cannot calmly write words in memory of the director.

Recall the practice process since entering the institute, and have long thoughts.

Why do we have the same affection and love for Director Wang as a loved one, with endless touch and gratitude, and still have infinite nostalgia and reverence? In addition to Director Wang's focus on the legal profession and his devotion to the development of the law firm, it should be the Director's love for us that can make us feel so much for him. It's not easy to have someone who hurts you!

I was born in the countryside, the parents are not high knowledge, cognitive limited. The process of studying before entering the institute, from applying for the Senior high school examination, dividing the liberal arts and science classes, filling in the college entrance examination, to taking the postgraduate entrance examination, choosing a major, and getting employment, the guidance and help given by parents are limited, and they are basically confused and confused. Only I can understand the confusion, hesitation and pain.

Starting from the delivery of resumes in the winter of 2005, I have forged a life relationship with Director Wang and Zhongcheng Qingtai. I just stepped out of school and came to Jinan, where there was no intersection before, and entered the lawyer industry with very high professional requirements. According to my original growth experience, it seems that it is inevitable to struggle and run into difficulties everywhere. But from entry, internship, assistant, to independent practice, joining, and entering the management team, every step of the lawyer's career is basically going smoothly. In addition to the development platform provided by the law firm, Director Wang's care, care and love are indispensable and important factors.

What kind of profession is a lawyer, the qualities and abilities needed to be a lawyer, how to do a good job in a case, how to strive for excellence, how to choose a professional direction suitable for oneself, how to maintain and expand the source of cases for clients ...... The most basic concepts and basic rules of these industries come mainly from the words and deeds of Director Wang at the beginning of his career. Director Wang will not hesitate to praise and publicly praise my occasional outstanding performance and small achievements. Director Wang will scold and scold severely when he makes mistakes, is lazy, does not take the initiative, does not use his brain, and does not enter his heart. When faced with difficulties and at a loss as to what to do, Director Wang sent care and solicitude for the first time; when he was not actively motivated and did not cherish the opportunity, Director Wang was anxious and painstaking; when he was naive and unsophisticated, Director Wang gave careful advice and distressed education... The praise and criticism over and over again seemed to emerge clearly yesterday.

As far as I am concerned, Director Wang is a stern master, spreading knowledge and giving confusion. He is also a kind elder, just like his father, who loves his children. He hopes that I will grow up and mature. He is anxious that I have insufficient understanding and is happy for my progress and development. Such a teacher, father, in a calm morning suddenly left, never again! Pain through the heart, love extremely! Six years and still can't get over it.

Director Wang's love for young people is not just for me. All the young people in the institute feel Director Wang's love.

Director Wang's love for young people has become a culture and a gene of Zhongcheng Qingtai. After Director Wang's death, the Institute has, as always, paid attention to and attached importance to the development of young people. While adhering to the tradition of caring for and caring for young people, the training and development model of young lawyers in law firms has gradually become a system. Career planning, business development, professional topics and other professional skills training, night salons, youth training camps, development forums, Guanghe Xingchen program and other comprehensive learning activities have become compulsory courses for every young lawyer and an important help for the growth of young lawyers. Director Geng Guoyu specially put forward the concept of "post-assistant", and repeatedly asked partners and team leaders to attach great importance to the development of young lawyers who have just practiced independently from the source of cases, practice, income generation and other aspects, so as to help young lawyers get through the early stage of practice smoothly. In the assessment of various departments and teams, the law firm takes the development of young lawyers as an important indicator every year. In recent years, it has revised the management methods of paralegals, the salary system for hiring lawyers, extended the term of assistants, and improved the treatment of hiring lawyers, so as to further create a good development environment for young lawyers.

My colleagues who entered the law firm at the same time or a few years later have now become the backbone of the firm's business, basically leading the business team. We all continue to love the young lawyers of the team, and regard the development of young lawyers as an important work of the team.

Director Wang has gone away from us, and we will never go back to the time when we had Director Wang, but his love for young lawyers still continues around us, and the spirit and feelings he spread and helped to infect and inspire every Zhongcheng Qingtai lawyer.

As time goes by, the young people of Zhongcheng Qingtai grow up like bamboo shoots to the sun, and they are inherited and developed under the subtle influence of the spirit of Guangren.

I officially entered Shandong Hualin Law Firm on November 14, 2012. At that time, I only knew that this was the head office in Tai'an City. The directors and lawyers were amiable and easy to get along with, but I had little understanding of some things about the law firm before this time period.

One day in early 2017, I went to the law firm's office to get an agent for a case. I was in a hurry because it was urgent. Passing by the door of the conference room, I saw that it was a meeting. At that time, I subconsciously looked in through the floor glass curtain wall of the conference room. Among the people, I only noticed a kind and powerful old man sitting in the middle of the conference table, wearing a pair of sunglasses, listening carefully to the speaker's speech-this was the only intersection between me and Director Wang Guangren.

In March 2021, at the beginning of the merger between Hualin and Zhongcheng Qingtai, I attended the meeting of all partners of Zhongcheng Qingtai held in Anji. An important agenda during the period was the inaugural meeting of the Guangren Foundation Council. I have the honor to be a representative of the Taian Institute and become one of the members of the Council. At that time, one of the things that impressed me most at the conference was that all two lawyers from the members of the Alliance of Lawyers and Zhong Chengren heard that we were going to set up a Guang Ren Fund Council and made a special trip to Anji to attend the meeting. and made it clear that we would express our nostalgia for Director Wang Guangren in this way. At that time, I was really shocked, and at the same time, I was very curious: what kind of old man and what kind of charm can make people who know him so admire him?

After the meeting, I couldn't wait to get to know Director Wang Guangren from the director of Tai 'an Institute and the old lawyers. "Being a lawyer is a noble cause." This is the sentence I heard most from lawyers who know him. The old man is selfless and noble, and will pursue the lawyer as a lifelong career, regardless of personal gain or loss. Although the understanding is relatively general, it is enough to make me shocked again. This is completely different from the image of this level of big coffee in my impression, and I vaguely feel some of the charm of the elderly.

Shortly after the meeting, I received a book entitled "Being a Lawyer Without Regrets in This Life". When I saw the picture of Director Wang Guangren on the cover of this book, I immediately saw the picture of the old man in the conference room at that time. I can't wait to open the book and get to know this legendary old man in this special way. I sincerely admire and respect the photos of the elderly since they were young, the various honors they have received, and the photos of various occasions. Among the photos of participating in the event, in addition to receiving inspections and exchanges from leaders at all levels, there are also many in-depth legal publicity of ordinary citizens. The impression is that although the elderly have made remarkable achievements in all sectors of society, they are always concerned about ordinary people. The legal rights of the people. In the following more than 100 articles, I read the sternness and kindness of the elderly; read the seriousness and persistence of the elderly for large and small cases; read the "stubbornness" of the elderly to return the entire legal opinion for a punctuation mark; read that the elderly carefully reviewed every manuscript and paid attention to the rigor of every detail; read that the elderly devoted themselves to public welfare and selfless dedication to the lawyer's career. After reading, I understood why he was wearing sunglasses when I saw him, which was the sequelae of hard work in sharing worries for the government and avoiding huge losses. After reading, I gradually understood why only decent people can shoulder the responsibilities entrusted by law and society before being a lawyer. After reading and reading, I gradually understood why so many people thanked him, remembered him and could not leave him, because he is like a strict father, with deep love and responsibility, he hopes that everyone he cares for has his own wonderful life. After reading this book, while admiring Director Wang Guangren, I have more regrets: I regret that I have only one side with his old man; I regret that I did not have the opportunity to listen to the teachings of the old man face to face; I regret that I can only use this special Way to understand and miss such a respectable and lovely old man.

Before writing this article, I specifically found Director Si Jialin and wanted to learn more about Director Wang Guangren through him. The director of the department talked a lot. from the conversation with the director of the department, I understood that hualin institute could finally get together with zhongcheng qingtai institute, which could not be separated from director Wang guangren's painstaking efforts and the same and similar cultural background of the two institute. When I entered the institute in 2012, I felt that the director and senior lawyers were amiable. This feeling also exists after joining Zhongcheng Qingtai family in 2021. With common beliefs and goals, it is inevitable to come together. Although we had a brief separation during the period of Zhongchengren and the lawyer group, now Tai 'an has come together with Zhongchengqingtai in a closer way, which is also a wish of the elderly. At the end of the conversation, the director of the department summed up two poems: "to be a lawyer without regret in this life, I am lucky to be a model for a hundred years". After that, he called me several more times and repeatedly told me what I should pay attention to in this article. I also really feel the deep memory and sympathy of Director Wang Guangren.

On this memorial article, I also had an in-depth exchange with Director Yu Xuedong. Director Yu also talked to me a lot about his past with Director Wang Guangren, and he was also deeply touched. He knew that I had only one side with Director Wang Guangren, and he also knew that many young lawyers who entered the institute later than me had never met Director Wang Guangren, and that more young people would join Zhongcheng Qingtai in the future. But the spirit of Director Wang Guangren should be passed on forever. This is the core and essence of Zhongcheng Qingtai culture, and it is the spiritual motivation for our young lawyers to learn and grow.

Later, I consulted more articles and materials about Director Wang Guangren and foundRegarding the "Guangren Spirit", Director Geng gave a precise interpretation: the humanistic core of the "Guangren Spirit" lies in the cultural inheritance of "tolerance and sharing"; the foundation of the inheritance of the "Guangren Spirit" lies in the overall awareness of "responsibility"; The vitality of "Guangren Spirit" lies in the development pattern of "continuous innovation"; the social value of "Guangren Spirit" lies in the leading consciousness of "pursuing excellence. At the same time, Director Geng also asked us to learn from Director Wang Guangren's broad character of "promoting and training young people" and continue to inherit in the industry. We should learn from Director Wang Guangren's "impartial and selfless" grand public mind and enhance the credibility of management. We should learn from Director Wang Guangren's ideal and belief that "we cannot fail after being honed" and do things persistently and firmly. We should learn from Director Wang Guangren's working attitude of "keep improving, ingenuity boutique services. When Director Wang Guangren left us for six years, the "Guangren Spirit" has already deeply affected Zhongcheng Qingtai people, especially many young Zhongcheng Qingtai people who have also deeply integrated the "Guangren Spirit" into their study and work.

Serious, passionate, sincere and broad-minded, this is my intuitive impression of Director Wang Guangren's life and deeds. As a young lawyer, I also worked late into the night in the office day after day, but there always seemed to be something wrong. I seem to have just done what I should do every day. Although I also devote my energy to thinking and try my best to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, I lack the passion to treat lawyers as a career, the sincerity to put myself in when communicating with the parties, and the lack of a tolerant pattern in dealing with people. In the future, I will take the "Guangren spirit" as the guide, strive for perfection, be persistent and firm, be full of passion, and take on important tasks bravely!

We Zhongcheng Qingtai have been absorbing fresh blood, and many and more outstanding young people will join the Zhongcheng Qingtai family in the future. "Guangren spirit" will also be inherited in our body, forever. We believe that we will do a good job and live up to the ardent hopes of the elderly. The "Guangren Spirit" is like a bright light, leading Zhongcheng Qingtai, an aircraft carrier in the legal world, to ride the wind and waves and keep moving forward!

Shandong Zhongcheng Qingtai (Taian) Law Firm

Lawyer Sun Tao

Director Wang Guangren is a harsh and kind law firm leader. The reason why he is harsh is because he listened to his colleagues in Jinan Institute. The agency and defense words in his hand cannot be punctuated by a single punctuation mark. The reason why he is kind is that I have the honor to contact him, Kan Kan talks like an elder's advice to the younger generation, and a wise man's passing on scriptures to the younger generation. His words about how to be a good lawyer are like spring breeze, which solves the doubts about how to position the role of lawyer in his mind. Illuminate the road of my lawyer career, cut the wind and cut the waves, all the way forward.

The time is forever fixed on the morning of January 29, 2018. The summary of the law firm and the revised version of the three-year plan are still on Wang Guangren's desk, but this morning, he did not appear on time at his beloved Shandong Zhongcheng Qingtai Law Firm. He's gone, leaving the lawyer career he loved all his life. Around the end of January every year, I feel inexplicable sadness, grief and sadness. How do I remember Director Wang Guangren? I want to learn from three aspects: being a human being, doing things and believing.

To be a lawyer, be a person first.

Director Wang's definition of "good lawyer. "Good lawyer" is neither a simple superposition of the number of cases handled, nor a comparison of the depth of experience, let alone the level of income. "Good lawyer" is a combination of correct professional philosophy, good professional ethics and excellent professional quality. To be a "good lawyer", we must organically combine responsibility to the client, responsibility to the law, and responsibility to the country and society. The premise of a good lawyer is first of all a good law-abiding citizen, a person with a moral bottom line and a person with political beliefs. I keep these words in my heart and put them into daily action.

Always work passion, always will be a lawyer as a noble cause

He is the first batch of lawyers to be granted the qualification of lawyer after the restoration of the lawyer system in China. He was once the story prototype of the lawyer in "passionate defense"; he has been engaged in the lawyer profession for 38 years, and the defense words and agency words of many cases have been included in the national selection of major and important cases; he has always been loyal, conscientious and selfless, He has made outstanding contributions to the development of the lawyer's career, it is a banner of the legal profession. He is always the first to go to work and the last to leave work. He regards the law firm as his own child and devotes all his feelings and efforts to the law firm. In 2003, he won a 100 million yuan lawsuit for a government department in Jinan. His left eye was tired and blind. Perennial overload work has never tirelessly realized the oath of "dedicating everything I love to the lawyer career" and "truly realizing being a lawyer without regrets in this life.

Faith firm, loyal to the party

"I am a lawyer, but I am a member of the Communist Party first." People who know Wang Guangren know that this is Wang Guangren's motto, and it is his purpose of serving the people with the overall situation in mind. In Director Wang's life, the true character of a party member is deeply imprinted in his heart, allowing him to always have the overall situation in mind, practice for the people, and be a practitioner of judicial reform and a booster of legal system construction. His loyalty to the party, his feelings of serving the people, his love and dedication, and his spirit of dedication will always be remembered by the people.

At the end of the day, we should learn and carry forward the "spirit of benevolence":"Engaging in a loving career is the luck of life, and contributing to society is the happiness of life."This is what Director Wang often said. With his actions, he practiced his pursuit of career and life. In the future, this spirit will continue to affect more people. There is still a lot of Guangren spirit: Do not forget your initiative mind, indifferent to fame and gain, willing to contribute, do practical things for the masses, solve difficult problems for the government, firm ideals and beliefs, and excellent professional quality. We draw spiritual strength from it to inspire our own development and encourage the development of the law firm to a better tomorrow.

Shandong Zhongcheng Qingtai (Liaocheng) Law Firm

Zhang Yaosheng

Every Zhongcheng Qingtai person has learned a lesson called "Guangren Spirit". It says that the lawyer profession should have the political morality of Do not forget your initiative mind and firm belief, the excellent quality of daring to take responsibility and loving home, the lofty realm of selflessness and willingness to contribute, and the broad mind and sense of responsibility of young people. It is under the guidance of the "Guangren spirit" that the people of Qingtai have been passed down from generation to generation, with the goal of becoming a "good lawyer", integrating the practice of the people into the blood, and the "Guangren spirit" is eternal.

Party member lawyer passion without regret

Director Wang Guangren has always believed that for the long-term development of law firms, they must firmly adhere to the correct political direction, adhere to the supremacy of the party's cause, the people's interests, and the constitution and law; clearly position that "lawyers are socialist legal workers with Chinese characteristics" and insist on "sharing worries for the party committee and government and satisfying the people". And creatively put forward the "political building", set up the first law firm in Shandong Party committee.

Director Wang Guangren's 38-year lawyer road is to actively seek the road of judicial reform, from state-owned assets to mixed ownership to the judicial reform of partnership, always to "establish a sense of urgency, responsibility and mission to accelerate development" to require himself and encourage the team, he believes that law firms and lawyers want to achieve long-term development, must have a career passion, clear development goals, establish a sense of innovation, improve team building, strengthen customer maintenance, expand the service market.

Director Wang Guangren always strives in the front line of lawyers with a heart full of enterprising and responsibility, and is our spiritual leader and the most concrete example.

Career is heaven, mission is soul

Director Wang Guangren mentioned in "career is the mission of heaven is the soul" that "lawyers should take professional mission as the soul", that is, lawyers should take safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, safeguarding the correct implementation of the law, and safeguarding social fairness and justice as the professional mission of lawyers. He regards lawyers as a lofty cause, and every legal person undertakes a sacred mission. Only by taking the cause as the sky and the mission as the soul can we be worthy of the party, the country, the people, the law, and the new era.

We were born in the best of times. Churchill once said, "The price of greatness is responsibility." Director Wang Guangren always believes that responsibility makes the future, and takes pride in the responsibility. He once took "Ren Achieves the Future" as the theme of the 2014 Zhongcheng Law Firm Summary and Commendation Conference. Wang shared with his colleagues in the law firm the importance of responsibility from four aspects: responsibility can be used for responsibility, responsibility can stimulate potential, responsibility can be pursued for perfection, and responsibility can be sure to succeed. Words and language are powerful. Through continuous progressive expression, Director Wang Guangren tells every legal person that only under the drive of responsibility can he have a sense of mission and belonging, and finally succeed through due diligence and excellence in his work.

Director Wang Guangren began to join the ranks of lawyers in 1980 and experienced hardships that many young lawyers could not imagine. Those days of sharing the sorrow and struggle with the times, those days of shouldering the mission and keeping their feet on the ground, finally transformed and sublimated into the "spirit of Guangren". From the speech and encouragement left to us by Director Wang Guangren, we can see the expectations of an old elder who is concerned about the development of the country and the growth of lawyers for the development of the industry, the future of the law firm and the growth of young people.

The original intention has not been changed to contribute to society.

I had the honor to read a report manuscript "Devote everything to the lawyer career" made by Director Wang Guangren in 1998. At that time, the director was 51 years old and practiced for 18 years. At that time, he said: when we are handling legal business, if we are not responsible for the duties of lawyers and the entrustment of clients, we are actually not responsible for ourselves. For a lawyer, if we lose good professional ethics, without the trust of the people, such a lawyer has no future; at that time, he did: he served as the perennial legal adviser of Jinan disabled Persons' Federation and Shandong disabled Persons' Federation for free, provided legal services for the disabled free of charge, subsidized out-of-school children, and helped many children return to school......

In 2018, Director Wang Guangren was 71 years old and practiced for 38 years. He devoted his life to the lawyer profession and was still working until the last moment of his life. Responsibility, commitment, diligence, hard work, passion, dedication ...... These descriptions are not enough to describe him, he once said, "It is glorious to engage in the legal profession, in order to be competent for this sacred profession, you should be selfless in everything you do. Only by recognizing the meaning of the profession can you devote yourself to it." Although Director Wang Guangren has always regarded the legal profession as the most glorious and sacred profession, he has never placed himself on a high ground and separated himself from the masses of the people. Instead, he has always struggled on the front line of the law and worked hard. For 38 years, I have tried my best to be perfect and keep improving in every case I handled. I once lost my left eye and refused to rest because of overwork.

Director Wang Guangren, with a love dedicated to the country, society, and the people, fulfills the oath of "being a lawyer without regrets in this life". To this day, the "Guangren spirit" is still a beacon in the lawyer industry, guiding Countless legal people struggle and struggle in the future with the ideal of "people's lawyers for the people.

Look at the industry and look after learning.

Director Wang Guangren's life is a life full of faith and love for the lawyer profession, and a life full of expectations and support for young people. When he taught young lawyers who were sworn in in in 2016, he said: I hope that all young lawyers will strive to become talents and figures, and become indispensable people in every unit. Over the past 38 years, Director Wang Guangren has been working hard to train young lawyers, insisting on teaching trainee lawyers in Shandong Province for more than ten years, and training thousands of outstanding talents for the industry.

Under the implementation of Director Wang Guangren's "people-oriented" concept, all branches of Zhongcheng Qingtai attach great importance to the cultivation of talents. Starting from 2022, Zhongcheng Qingtai's "Guanghe Xingchen" youth growth plan will be launched to strengthen the talent development and cultivation of young lawyers and lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of Zhongcheng Qingtai. The "spirit of Guangren" is passed down from generation to generation.

Wang Yangming's last words on his deathbed, "this heart is bright, but also what to say" confirms Director Wang Guangren's life. This heart is open and bright, and he is completely dedicated to the sacred lawyer profession without complaint or regret. Sir through the ages, Yide forever.
