Features: The reform and reconstruction of China's criminal appeal system will be the author's ultimate goal and focal point in researching this topic. The broader context of judicial reform and the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law will provide a favorable academic research atmosphere and space for re-examining and improving the criminal appeal system. The judiciary holds a pivotal position in a nation's social and political life, which is also the root cause of why judicial reform, particularly the reform of the trial system, is a (lit. "pulling one hair moves the whole body") issue. The reform of the appeal system also involves the reform of other related systems, impacting preliminary procedures, death penalty review procedures, and even retrial procedures. Therefore, the study of the appeal system not only has micro significance in analyzing specific issues in detail but also has macro significance in addressing the entire criminal procedure system from a partial perspective to the whole. As a result, the criminal appeal system studied within the broader context of judicial reform also involves the reintegration of a series of related procedural and institutional aspects, requiring a holistic approach to the reconstruction of the criminal appeal system.
