One leaf, one sand, one world "feelings

In the past few days, Lawyer Deng's defense statement "One Leaf, One Sand, One World" quickly became popular on WeChat Moments. When I first read this article, I felt that Attorney Deng’s writing skills were excellent. As a senior writer, I felt deeply. Infected by his own emotions, he was also amazed. So it is natural to think of Cui Yingjie's defense many years ago, which was equally wonderful and is quoted here:

Trading people and selling pulp was a legitimate occupation in ancient times. My client came to the city, was forced by life, and worked in such a humble and poor job, living in embarrassment and earning a meager income. But he is always kind and honest. No matter how society hurts him, he neither steals nor robs, nor does he survive by hurting others. I solemnly ask you in court, when a person's job is broken and he is forced into a desperate situation, will you be calmer and more patient than my client?

Of course, both Cui Yingjie and Zhang Koukou were executed. I believe that from a legal perspective, this verdict is beyond reproach.

Speaking of this, I even thought of the famous female assassin Shi Jianqiao during the Republic of China. In order to avenge her father Shi Congbin (also recorded as uncle in historical materials), she prepared carefully for 10 years and died in Tianjin in 1935. On top of the lay Buddhist temple, he killed Sun Chuanfang with his own hands. He was initially betrayed and imprisoned for seven years. However, under the tremendous pressure of national public opinion, he served less than a year before being pardoned and released. In 1957, he was elected as a member of the Beijing CPPCC. There is no doubt that this is already a legend, and all kinds of literature and art can be used as material, enough to arouse public attention and even sympathy.

These three stories are all typical blood revenge stories, but there are two outcomes. In modern society, revenge for any reason is strictly prohibited and will be punished with the severest punishment by the law. Here, I cannot help but appreciate that some countries have abolished the death penalty, but this is not the focus of this article, so I will not expand on it.

What I want to say is, don’t be easily swayed by your emotions. When you see or hear certain rumors or events, don’t jump to conclusions easily. If you have the conditions, it’s best to get to the bottom of it and learn more about each issue. information. Only in this way can we avoid generalizing and drawing wrong conclusions. Public sentiment is easily manipulated and exploited.

Not being swayed by emotions is a basic principle of scientific spirit. And I believe in the spirit of science.

This is the basic principle of scientific spirit.
