I have always been reluctant to comment on cases without clear conclusions. A quick search shows that the last time I wrote about such a topic was back in 2011 (Litigants Should Not Attack Courts and Judges as a Way to Vent After Losing a Case). The reason is simple: I am neither a party to the case nor a case-handling officer, so my analysis of the case is inevitably biased. Relying on one-sided information or fragmented truths from the internet makes it impossible to conduct an objective analysis, and I can only be led astray by the information provider.

After my father-in-law passed away in 2019, my mother-in-law lived with us for just over a year before returning alone to her hometown. Now in her 70s, she is fortunate to be in relatively good health and can manage living on her own. Additionally, thanks to my two brothers-in-law who work in the area, they can often help out at her place when needed.

Recently, Typhoon Gaemi has caused severe impacts in Hunan Province. Although the typhoon’s center did not pass through Hunan, the heavy rainfall brought by the typhoon poured down heavily in the region.

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee proposed many reform measures to improve the socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics. Among them, in the aspect of perfecting the mechanisms for fair law enforcement and justice, there are several key reform tasks, including the separation of trial and execution.

Recently, I was seconded to participate in the case review work of the political and legal system. The main task of my working group was to review appeal cases handled by the prosecutorial organs, most of which were legal and litigation-related petition cases. We spent a full five days reviewing 70 cases handled by the prosecutorial organs.

Recently, the story of Yang Jinwen, a Zhejiang University graduate, has gone viral online. At the graduation ceremony, he declared, “Go where the motherland needs you most,” and then promptly applied to study for a Master of Laws in the United States. Many netizens have criticized him as a “two-faced person,” focusing on emotional reactions rather than the substance of his decision. While we cannot verify his true intentions, and perhaps it is unnecessary to do so, studying law in the U.S. is indeed aligned with the idea of “going where the motherland needs you most.”

In the summer of 2007, when I first watched the movie Transformers, I was struck by a particular detail: after the male lead got into college, his father took him to a used car dealership where they bought a 1974 Chevrolet Camaro for $4,000, which was roughly equivalent to a month’s salary for an average American worker.

Recently, I conducted some research on local corporate law enforcement and judicial cases, uncovering several legally intriguing situations that might offer insights into current corporate compliance management.
