Features: Political scientist Xiao Gongquan, who studied reforms during the late Qing Dynasty, raised a question: If the Kang and Liang reforms lacked capable individuals, how could they be implemented? He also pointed out that every reform in Chinese history faced this issue. Xiao Gongquan's discussion of reforms focused on the political level. However, his insights are highly relevant to today's "rule of law construction" in China's legal sphere. It cannot be denied that the success and sustainability of China's rule of law in the future depend on the participation of countless legal professionals. The more legal professionals grow, mature, and succeed, the more robust, detailed, and effective the rule of law will become, like a thriving, immortal giant tree rooted in Chinese soil. For the cultivation of future legal professionals, the legal education initiatives being advanced by dedicated individuals today are of "unparalleled importance." Among the various components of legal education, law schools are universally recognized as the most crucial. However, the significance of legal education textbooks and the level of attention they receive may still be insufficient. We, at Legal Publishing House, are currently advancing an initiative—compiling teaching aids for legal education—which may be another part of legal education books that is often overlooked. Yet, compiling teaching aids for legal education is precisely an issue that should not be ignored. We understand that Chinese law school education is not a U.S.-style vocational training system. In such a system, students have at least completed their undergraduate studies, and many even have years of work experience. In contrast, the mainstream students of Chinese law schools—undergraduates—are typically 18-year-old teenagers. Law school education accompanies these young students through their precious four years of knowledge acquisition, but it must also consider their interests. Thus, while law textbooks enrich their minds with systematic theories, teaching aids complement these textbooks by engaging students' interests from various angles—through cases, regulations, reading materials, or even highly engaging formats. These young talents will one day become pillars of the rule of law. Legal Publishing House, in this process, not only wishes them success but also aims to actively support their growth.
