We will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.It is also a coincidence that the magazine "Procuratorial Situation" coincides with the publication of its 300th issue.In fact, "300" is just a statistical symbol, and it does not explain anything, but the content recorded in the 300 issue reflects the development and progress of China's society and the rule of law after the reform and opening up.We might as well do some historical review and make some comparisons with the status quo. Today's people often know a lot about legal knowledge.As long as they care about conflicts and contradictions in families, communities, and various social relationships, including the hot social issues caused by them, they will speak clearly and clearly from the legal level.This change in the concept of the rule of law is the most beneficial result brought to society by the reform and opening up.Just imagine, what we can talk about today after dinner is unimaginable in the first 30 years after the founding of New China.Some may only be discussing in private, and some dare not speak after closing the door.With social progress and ideological emancipation, the public opinion environment has improved, and the standards for understanding freedom of speech have also undergone new changes. A welcoming attitude.This, in the early 60's, or to be precise, at some stage would have led to catastrophe.

Today's publishing content and reporting on judicial subjects have also undergone great changes.In the era of class division in the past, criminals were our class enemies, and the public had only one attitude towards the sentenced person, which was to draw a clear line.To an editor who dresses other people's weddings, crime is dark, and reporting a case is an exposure of the dark side, without any positive value at all.When encountering a case manuscript, it is like seeing a snake or a scorpion, so avoid it for fear of being too late.The news awareness that incorporates the concept of the rule of law has now changed. People, especially the media, have realized that the media should not be keen on hyping up cases.Publications publish objective reports on some socially influential cases, with the purpose of being close to the reading needs of the masses, giving full play to the information dissemination and guiding functions of the media, and promoting judicial functions through readers' specific understanding and participation, maintaining fairness and justice, and deterring crimes and general preventive effects on society.And it's just these things that senior editors can't do.

Nowadays, the development of science and technology has made the science fiction stories we used to listen to teachers tell in class a tool for testing cases; the contribution of medical research has also helped people realize that criminals also have a tendency to be mentally unsound and have personalities. Obstacles; reviewing history, dusting off the dust of time, we can see more clearly the more authentic imprints left by our predecessors on the tortuous road; the awareness of human rights has been enhanced, at least the protection of the rights of criminals , Respect for their personality, care for their lives, the whole society is to experience it with heart, and it is full of emotion in practice.

Today's progress in the rule of law is something our ancestors could not even dream of.China is a society with a long-term farming civilization. For a long time, people's behavioral norms were adjusted by the patriarchal clan norms, moral norms and social customs norms of the farming society.In the society of reform and opening up, the adjustment of social relations must be regulated by the legal system, which is far higher than the patriarchal clan, morality, and social customs of the farming society. Some behaviors that could be adjusted through policies, morality, and social customary norms in the past are now More often than not it doesn't work.However, it is precisely because for thousands of years, our ancestors started from the desire to pursue a better life and adjusted various behaviors through a series of norms. Therefore, it is not just now that the people pursue the ideal of a society ruled by law. 60 years a Jiazi, this pursuit started from countless Jiazi, our ancestors' desire for a better life and eternal harmony in the world.This also fully demonstrates that for a long time, the working people in China have had the consciousness and tradition of pursuing the culture of the rule of law. It is precisely because of this desire for a better life that the masses of the people today have a greater sense of responsibility and mission entrusted by the times than in any historical period. sense, more enthusiastically integrated into the progress of the rule of law.Every Chinese in today's society will clearly feel that the "rule of law", a giant of the times, is closely related to our lives.She makes us awe and respect, she makes us get close to her with full of expectation, she will warmly embrace and accompany us with her powerful arms, and together we will realize the great dream of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

We are going to a new destination, and we should remember how we got here. "Procuratorate" magazine has long adhered to the mission of promoting the culture of clean government and spreading the civilization of the rule of law.Especially under the direct leadership of the party group of the competent authority of the magazine and the previous presidents Shi Zhusan, Qi Shigui, and Yu Yunbo, through the enthusiastic work of all staff, the published content is close to reality, life, and the masses, and has won a large number of readers. praise. The above review of social development and changes has been reported in more than 20 columns of the magazine.To this end, we took advantage of the 300th issue of "Procuratorial Situation" to publish the second series of "Procuratorial Situation" collections, including "Disputes over Rights and Interests", "Scientific and Technological Cases", "The Past", and "Talks of the Wind and Cloud" Book, and to commemorate our country's most important festival - the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
