Features: The early form of the Sunflower Series for the Judicial Examination was the "Outline of the National Lawyer Qualification Examination" co-authored by Fu Ying and Wang Feng. It was internally printed in Beijing from 1997 to 2000 and was wildly popular among candidates in the capital. Due to strong demand from candidates, it was officially published in 2003. Later, the two teachers personally revised and oversaw multiple reprints. The Sunflower Series for the Judicial Examination is guided by a scientific layout and is a highly suitable series for both the judicial examination and guiding judicial practice. The core motivation behind Fu Ying and Wang Feng writing this series was to demonstrate the rigor and practicality of their work and enhance the effectiveness of the material in preparing for the exam. From the main content arrangement to the design of the format and the aesthetically pleasing cover style, the series has captivated candidates and inspired many publishers to follow suit.
One of the series, "Advanced Course for the National Judicial Examination," though named a "course," features an innovative layout and an extensive knowledge base, surpassing ordinary exam preparation books. Its professionalism is sufficient for use as a college law textbook. If students study this book diligently, accumulate knowledge, and not only master the judicial exam but also lay a solid professional foundation for future legal careers, this is because the book subtly imparts the invaluable legal thinking of a legal professional through its unique structure, narrative methods, and reasoning.
Some students complain that the series is too heavy and difficult to handle. However, it must be noted that the judicial exam has become increasingly challenging over the years and is no longer the same as the lawyer qualification exam years ago. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to pass the exam through short-term cramming. Relying on a book that simply highlights "essentials" or "key points" and expecting to pass the exam through quick study is nothing but a misguided approach. The two teachers did not cater to or encourage this wrong mindset but continued to dedicate their efforts with a scientific and pragmatic attitude. The Sunflower Series, though called the "Sunflower Bible," contains no shortcuts or tricks.
The "Advanced Course for the National Judicial Examination" includes:
- "Civil Law"
- "Criminal Law"
- "Civil Procedure Law and Arbitration Law"
- "Criminal Procedure Law"
- "Administrative Law and Administrative Procedure Law"
- "International Law · Private International Law · International Economic Law"
- "Commercial Law and Economic Law"
- "Jurisprudence · Legal History · Constitution · Legal Ethics" (8 books in total). It follows the National Judicial Examination syllabus and is based on laws, regulations, and (supplementary judicial interpretations). The content is organized by subject.
The book adopts academic consensus and creatively divides each chapter into four levels:
Level 1: Key Points Summary
This section lists the relatively important points of the chapter. The brilliance of the Key Points Summary lies in its direct focus on the chapter's core, using concise language to clarify the intrinsic logic of law and create a comprehensive learning framework. It helps students understand which knowledge to absorb to fill this framework and turn it into a firmly memorized system. Without this level, jumping directly into "key points" would yield poor results—this is the significance of the Key Points Summary.
Level 2: Relevant Legal Provisions
This section collects important legal provisions that may be tested, arranged scientifically for easy association and memorization. The Relevant Legal Provisions level organizes provisions related to the chapter based on their importance. The cited provisions include those found in general "Judicial Examination Laws and Regulations Compilation" but also those not mentioned there but crucial for solving special problems and understanding legislative intent, such as "Supreme People's Court Resolutions" and "Supreme People's Court Letters." Collecting comprehensive laws, regulations, and equally important yet overlooked "resolutions" and "letters" is a monumental task. Most judicial exam preparation books only reference the provisions in the "Judicial Examination Laws and Regulations Compilation" while ignoring equally important or even easier-to-understand "resolutions" and "letters" widely used in practice. Fu Ying and Wang Feng keenly recognized the importance of this content. Additionally, under a specific legal system, besides arranging relevant laws and regulations, provisions from closely related legal systems that are easily confused or may serve as exam points are also given thorough attention. This allows students to compare, generalize, and interconnect important knowledge, achieving twice the result with half the effort. This effort makes the Relevant Legal Provisions level more comprehensive and richer in content than ordinary "Key Legal Provisions" books while being far more concise than general "Laws and Regulations Compilations." It can fully replace both "Key Legal Provisions" and "Laws and Regulations Compilations."
Level 3: Legal Provision Commentary
This section interprets the relevant legal provisions. Based on the content of the Relevant Legal Provisions, it provides authoritative explanations of the true meaning of the provisions, avoiding misunderstandings and preventing students from getting stuck in dead ends. It also highlights easily confused or incorrect points in learning, helping students not only memorize the provisions but also understand their essence. By remembering and applying the provisions with understanding, success is inevitable.
Level 4: Chapter Puzzle Solving
This section fully understands the legislative intent and the examiner's reasoning, further clarifying the connections and applications of the provisions. The Chapter Puzzle Solving is the most valuable part of the series. It distills key points, analyzes examination directions, explains why questions are posed from this angle, and provides effective study methods for each section. It ensures that related knowledge points and easily overlooked yet important details are covered comprehensively while studying. All these are presented in concise arguments, with "Points to Note" highlighted in bold to point out easily misunderstood, overlooked, or confused aspects.
Beyond fully absorbing the strengths of other judicial exam books and avoiding pitfalls, the two teachers have uniquely excelled in language organization and narrative style, using plain yet clear language to explain complex legal issues. Their ability is truly remarkable, allowing students who have read the series to realize that law is not as obscure as commonly perceived but a sacred field filled with wisdom, mission, and allure.
