From 65438 to 0955, a new lawyer system was established in China. I was transferred from Hongkou District Court as a lawyer and became the first generation lawyer in New China. At that time, although the legal profession was a new thing, lawyers served the people and soon enjoyed a good reputation in society. Also because he participated in the defense of 1957 "Simingtang case", he won praise and attention from all walks of life.
After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, I was completely rehabilitated. 1One day in February, 979, after 22 years, I went to the defense seat again to defend a fugitive who pretended to be an educated youth. Since the lawyer system was not restored at that time, we can only skillfully use flexible wording when reporting: Comrade Li Guoji, a lawyer before the Cultural Revolution, appeared in court to defend the defendant ... "This news was broadcast by Taiwan Province Province and Japanese media half an hour later. Japanese TV station used an eye-catching headline "China has a lawyer! ".65438+In February of the same year, the Central Committee decided to restore the lawyer system, because I had returned to my old job before and became one of the earliest lawyers in China after the Third Plenary Session of the Party. This is a new starting point for my lawyer career and my second "first".
On May 28th, 1988, a plaque was put up in Shanghai Peace Hotel: Li Guoji Law Firm. This is the first law firm named after a lawyer in China, and the third "No.1" in my lawyer career.
Although I no longer work in the front line because of my age, I am still a senior consultant of Li Guoji Law Firm. I hope that Li Guoji Law Firm will reach a higher level and create greater glories.
