Features: The arduous entrepreneurship of the restoration of the Chinese legal profession over the past 20 years has nurtured a generation after generation of true lawyers, who are the backbone of our "hundred thousand troops" and the cornerstone for the continuous development of the legal system. True lawyers are like clear streams visible to the bottom, like flawless crystal with a transparent luster: they are true people, with a consistent inner and outer self, morality, and embodying the perfection and beauty of character in everything they do. True lawyers must have a childlike heart: pure and kind, helping the weak and aiding the needy; they will never collude with corrupt officials, curry favor with powerful families, or kowtow servilely; they will never abandon justice for profit, worship the "Almighty Zhao," align themselves with petty bourgeoisie, or bend the law for personal gain. They remain steadfastly with the people throughout. True lawyers are like a blazing fire, continuously shining and radiating heat from the moment it is lit until it goes out. Their skills are superb, and they speak up for justice; they are unwavering in their love and hatred, and act without hesitation out of a sense of righteousness.
