Features: Fourteen years ago, when I graduated from Harbin University in the "Ice City" of northern China with a master's degree in law, I had a dream—to become a judge. Nine years ago, when I became a mother, I truly became a judge. My studies in the Legal Master's program at the University of International Business and Economics and several years of judicial practice have helped me accumulate preliminary theoretical and practical foundations for writing this book. The author is a young judge at the Juvenile Court of Beijing Urban District People's Court. While presiding over cases, she has always remembered her social responsibilities in educating, reforming, and saving delinquent youth. The publication of this book embodies her years of dedication and reflects the political awareness of a people's judge. It is the first time that a judge from a juvenile court has written a monograph on legal education nationwide. Of course, as the book contains many personal insights, there are undoubtedly areas for discussion. However, the author's effort in promoting legal education is commendable, and the publication of this book will undoubtedly play a role in encouraging primary and secondary school students, their parents, and teachers to learn and apply the law.
