Features: This is an era-inspiring revelation that sparkles with intellectual brilliance and a social critique that echoes with cautionary voices. Chunjie City is a modern metropolis with a population of eight million. To symbolize the city's character and dignity, a strikingly prominent skyscraper—the Chunjie Intermediate People's Court—has been erected in the city center. In the eyes of the eight million people of Chunjie City, the building has become an emblem of fairness, justice, and equity. It serves as a stage where the tragedies and comedies of the era unfold one after another. With the rule of law as a rational pursuit, fairness as an emotional longing, and modern civilization as a future aspiration, the work portrays a series of distinct judges, such as Yang Tieru, Chen Molei, and Lin Zihan, and depicts the diverse and complex life forms of people ranging from the mayor to the common folk. It exposes the ugly souls of a group of corrupt officials. The work confronts society and life directly, daring to point out the complex contradictions of the era and bravely critiquing stubborn social ailments. It also conducts a meticulous analysis from a scientific legal perspective. The work strives to articulate the era with a broad vision and to peer into history, thereby that governing the country according to law is the only path for contemporary China to achieve modernization.
