If small holes are not repaired, big holes will suffer. It is a metaphor that if small flaws are not corrected, big mistakes will suffer.
Wrong action and inaction
There are many truths spread among the people, such as: "If a small hole is not patched, a big hole will suffer"; "If the fence is tightened, wild dogs cannot get in". In fact, our management is amplified from the simplest principles.
The news every day is always shocking. It may be that there are many major events in the country, and there are many good and bad things. If you hear too much good things, you will not be excited; if you hear too many bad things, you will only be indignant and can only shake your head. Sometimes when chatting with friends, I often say, "People nowadays are so courageous and dare to do anything! This kind of thing happened less and less in the past. It stands to reason that the laws now are much more sound than in the past!" In a word, always Makes you think. In the war years, people often said: "Cowards fish for generals." When studying art, it is often said: "Those who are skilled in art are bold." Nowadays, we often hear: "Get rich by gambling!" But as the old saying goes: "A gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way." In this "Tao", there must be an element of courage. Being bold is a good thing, but it can also turn into a bad thing. It's the relationship between the two. There are many bold and reckless people in our society now, and they do harm without blinking an eye. Sometimes I wonder: How can this society be like this? For example, a few days ago, people found red salted eggs dyed red with "Sudan red" in other places, and people were a little surprised. The chili sauce incident that caused a lot of commotion in the newspapers last year has been going on for a while, and no one knows that "Sudan red" has a strong carcinogenic effect, which is chilling to hear. I forget what happened in the past, why did it happen again this year? So, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart: "These unscrupulous businessmen are too courageous, don't take the life and death of ordinary people in your eyes and treat it as a trivial matter." The craze for red salted eggs has not subsided, and red eggs are making waves again. Traditional Chinese people have always liked the color red, but now they have to look at the changes in red. I really don’t know how many red foods will be dyed "Sudan Red". How did this happen? Now I really understand the old saying: Businessmen are also treacherous! Are the laws not strict enough? This is not the case! The Food Safety Law is there, and merchants must study it carefully, otherwise they will not even be able to get a business license. In a word, it is the drive for profit that has darkened their conscience. Everything has to do with reckless behavior and interests that ignore the law! Behind the boldness is a lack of legal awareness, which also shows that the penalties in some areas of our laws may be too light. Everyone knows that selling 50 grams of drugs can lead to the death penalty, which can be said to be relatively severe in the world. I thought: How many people can 50 grams of drugs harm? Moreover, these people are voluntarily trying new things, buying and selling. Of course, they have to bear the consequences of this behavior. As for the "Sudan Red" incident, knowing that this substance is harmful to people and doing it deliberately is equivalent to spreading the same poison in your food. However, ordinary people spend money to buy poison but don't know it. Not only have they become "big-headed", they also have hidden dangers in their bodies. Law enforcement agencies may just fine them, close the factory for rectification, and then go back to their old business after the incident. So this kind of thing happens frequently and happens in endlessly. It can be seen that lenient sentencing in such major matters is harmful to the orderly development of the market, and also damages merchants who are not acting for legitimate interests. The Sudan Red incident has deepened consumers' concerns about food safety. An online food safety survey shows that as many as 95.37% of consumers believe that my country's food is unsafe, and 79.33% of consumers have begun to doubt the food safety of well-known brands. Eating was originally a happy thing, but now it makes people worry. Food market problems occur frequently, which undoubtedly exposes huge loopholes in supervision. There are nearly ten "grandmothers" in food safety management: agriculture, quality supervision, health, industry and commerce, commerce, drug supervision, urban management, entry-exit inspection and quarantine, education, and construction. However, ten "mother-in-laws" cannot manage a meal for the common people. These are supposed to cooperate with each other and coordinate the functional departments responsible for the safety of people's dining tables. They carry out cross-enforcement and work independently. When problems arise, they blame each other. No one can tell how big the "gaps" in the regulatory chain are.
Education is essentially the basis for national operation provided by taxation. It is a consumer terminal with the state as the main body. Its contribution to society is achieved indirectly by improving people's quality and increasing social productivity. It does not need to be in the form of directly creating benefits. Increase finances. Many people have repeatedly emphasized that the special reality of China as a developing country is that poor countries run large-scale education and the country is short of education funds. Does this imply that the rights and interests of some disadvantaged groups must be sacrificed? Public public education should be national education. Every public school should be "national", and only national schools can educate citizens. National education has many contents, including national honor, awareness of the rule of law, citizens' rights, obligations and responsibilities, etc. The primary responsibility of education should be to educate citizens. In modern society and a civilized country, the fruits of social progress should be borne by the masses, and education should be used by all the people, in order to benefit the country and the people. Education is not the product of privilege, but is especially dominated by awareness of inequality such as identity discrimination and household registration discrimination, as well as a profit mentality. Supply should be ensured first and then choices should be provided. Changing the allocation method of educational resources is one of the effective breakthroughs in China's education reform. Only by establishing a public government at least at the provincial level and achieving an overall balance in the distribution of education finance can we achieve a true sense of civic education or national education. The problems exposed in education in the 1990s were multifaceted, such as the college entrance examination system, exam-oriented education, and the exaggerated trend of school mergers. But the most serious problems are three interrelated and mutually influencing problems: educational philosophy and system problems, educational injustice and unprecedented educational corruption. The unfair distribution of educational resources used to be mainly reflected in the huge gap in compulsory education between urban and rural areas, but by the 1990s, it was comprehensively and profoundly reflected in all stages and aspects of education. If the huge gap in compulsory education between urban and rural areas in the past was due to the constraints of national strength, then the comprehensive emergence of educational injustice in the 1990s was presupposed and reinforced by certain policies and systems. A few years ago, most of the students in the first grade of a middle school scored "×" on the true-false question of "my country has now implemented nine-year compulsory education" in the political examination. The negative judgment of the childish children is thought-provoking. What cannot but arouse moral doubts is that during the compulsory education stage, children of disadvantaged groups, especially children of migrant workers, are preset with multiple injustices. First of all, there is insufficient financial support for rural areas, and the responsibility for compulsory education for rural children is passed on to the farmers themselves. The tax burden on farmers is already too heavy. In the past ten years, the tax burden has become heavier and heavier, and the fees have become higher and higher. , or pushed to the Hope Project, coupled with high fees, it can be said that the high fees are a drop in the bucket and are not in line with the nature of compulsory education. Whether in cities or rural areas, the right to receive compulsory education has turned into a commodity exchanged with money. As a result, a large number of school-age children dropped out of school and a large number of children were out of school. This results in large numbers of school-age children being out of school, dropping out of school and effectively being excluded from school. What is particularly striking is that the barriers between urban and rural areas are tight and household registration discrimination is serious. Children of migrant workers who come to cities to make a living cannot go to school if they cannot afford the ridiculously high "sponsorship fees." Hailufeng's vegetable farmers who came to work in Shenzhen once asked the Shenzhen Municipal Education Commission for help to solve the problem of their children's schooling, but the "public servant"'s answer was: "We have no obligation to solve this problem." The "public servant"'s answer was: "We have no obligation to solve this problem." "The public servant's answer is: "We have no obligation to solve this problem. In the past ten years or so, in the intellectual world, which has been impetuous in various temptations, few people can sit on the academic bench. Many people are obsessed with material desires and fame and fortune. Driven by the dual desire, shortcuts to plagiarism and plagiarism are almost inevitable, and for people in a system where plagiarism or repetition is the norm, this path can be said to be easy to navigate. Therefore, such scandals have emerged one after another in recent years. Not surprising. However, the reason why the problem is systemic is not only because it occurs frequently, but also because the perpetrators, if they hold important positions and occupy important positions in the current system, will always be punished by the organization when their misdeeds are exposed. Protection. A few years ago, an academic official at a prestigious university plagiarized a foreigner's paper. After the incident, his position was still intact. This is proof. What is the biggest problem in Chinese education? Basic respect for people.
Coal mines keep exploding, people keep dying, and mine owners keep causing disasters. Do they have sympathy? So many ruthless killers have killed dozens or dozens of lives; so many companies have discharged toxic wastewater, causing so many people to die from cancer and other terminal diseases; so many government officials are indifferent to people's lives and suffering, etc. Wait, go check out the websites and newspapers, they are overwhelming and shocking. These are the people who graduated from our elementary schools, secondary schools or colleges! However, deep down in their hearts, there is no basic concept of respecting people at all. Think of Confucius' "Benevolent people love others" - this can be universalized! From primary school to university, is it necessary to cultivate students' unconditional respect for others? I think this is the biggest problem in our education. We talk about patriotism, but when we don’t even have basic respect for others, how can we talk about patriotism? Therefore, the concept of respecting people should be cultivated from the first grade of primary school. The most important thing is not to distinguish between good people and bad people, but basic respect for people. You don’t have to do good deeds or help others, but you must respect others. Protecting yourself is naturally right and important, but this is not inconsistent with being kind and respecting others. Unconditional respect for others is fundamental. Our educational requirements are too high and our behavioral standards are too low. Therefore, we can make such a simple summary: the reform of the university system, whether it is the reform of the teacher system, the reform of the management system, or the reform of the student system, has a basic purpose, a basic principle, and a fundamental basis. Just respect people.
Thirteen judges of the Wuhan Intermediate People's Court were suspected of accepting bribes from lawyers and bending the law for personal gain; several judges of the Yichang Intermediate People's Court were suspected of accepting bribes from lawyers and sharing "sponsorship fees" privately. These cases of judge corruption have caused strong shock in society. In response, the Supreme People's Court and the Ministry of Justice jointly issued "Several Provisions on Regulating the Relationship between Judges and Lawyers and Maintaining Judicial Fairness." The Provisions are strictly worded. The entire text uses 25 "must not" and 13 "should" to regulate the behavior of lawyers and judges in detail.
Why do judges who are familiar with the law and have the power of trial and execution collectively accept bribes from lawyers? The author believes that the reasons may be as follows.
First, a small number of judges have low professional ethics and weak awareness of integrity. These judges believe that because they often have contact with lawyers at work, they adopt and take into account lawyers' opinions in case handling, introduce the case to lawyers, and accept food and property from lawyers in order to enhance the relationship between the two parties and facilitate future work. No big deal. So is social climate. As a result, these judges use their judicial and enforcement powers to "seek rent." As for the professional ethics of judges, we can leave aside the relevant provisions of the Supreme People's Court on judges. Of course, this does not rule out the erroneous mentality of a very small number of judges, that is, the lawyer treats him "nicely" by inviting him to dinner and giving him gifts. But if you refuse to invite someone to dinner or give you a gift, you are being "serious".
Second, judges are poorly paid. An important reason why a small number of judges risk public disapproval, disciplinary action, dismissal from office, and even risk criminal liability to accept food and property from lawyers is that they are short of money. As a man of legal education, he could not fail to know that this was prohibited by his profession. However, a fact that cannot be concealed is that in most places in our country, the treatment of judges is still relatively low. Compared to other administrative staff, their incomes are in the lower middle class. Judging from the hard mental and physical labor expenditure of judges, their income and remuneration cannot be directly proportional. Some judges’ relatives are still unemployed, and some are laid off and unemployed. Once his wife and children are separated and he has no support for his old age, he suddenly feels that he cannot hold his head high in front of the material world. Coupled with the corruption of a few unscrupulous lawyers, it will naturally "fall". Although there is a risk of being investigated and punished, I always take a chance and think that "God knows, earth knows, you know, I know" and others will not find out. In real life, a judge once said this: "If I had a high income, who would eat and take from others?" This is the core of the problem, and it is not unreasonable.
Third, the team management is not strict. The reason why judges accept food and property from lawyers has something to do with the court's lax management of judges.
As the main body of management, we should be said to be "well aware" of the violations of laws and disciplines by a small number of judges. Officials who violate laws and disciplines occasionally do so. However, sometimes because there is no conclusive evidence, and sometimes due to human feelings, we generally do not take the initiative to investigate and deal with the case. Although investigations have been conducted on judges' violations of laws and disciplines reported and reported by parties or outsiders, they are often superficial in order to "protect" cadres. Or big things are reduced to small things, and small things are reduced to small things. It seems that this is indeed a temporary protection of cadres, but in fact it is condoning and harming cadres. It’s not that we don’t know the truth that “if a small hole is not repaired, a big hole will suffer” and “a embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in an ant nest”. In the long run, judges who violate laws and disciplines will only be able to feel more confident and go further than they should. There may seem to be no problems in the process of building and managing the team of judges, but in fact there are serious crises lurking. If warning education and integrity education are not carried out, problems will occur sooner or later.
Looking back, the only way to solve the problem of judges accepting bribes from lawyers is to find countermeasures for the above reasons.
Countermeasures:
First, a small number of judges have low professional ethics and weak awareness of integrity. These judges believe that because they often have contact with lawyers at work, adopting and taking into account the lawyers' opinions in case handling, introducing the case to the lawyers, and accepting food and property from the lawyers will enhance the relationship between the two parties and facilitate future work.

Third, the team management is not strict. The reason why judges accept food and property from lawyers has something to do with the court's lax management of judges. As a management agency, it should be said to be "well aware" of the violations of laws and disciplines by a small number of judges. Officials who violate laws and disciplines occasionally do so. However, sometimes because there is no conclusive evidence, and sometimes due to human feelings, we generally do not take the initiative to investigate and deal with the case.

If warning education and integrity education are not carried out, problems will occur sooner or later.
Looking back, the only way to solve the problem of judges accepting bribes from lawyers is to find countermeasures for the above reasons. The author believes that we can start from the following three aspects.
1. Strengthen ideological education, organizational education, and professional ethics education, strengthen education on outlook on life, ideals, and beliefs, establish judges’ correct outlook on rights, outlook on life, and values, and enhance judges’ awareness of dedication and integrity, Maintain the consciousness of hard work, diligence and frugality, and consciously resist the temptation of material things.
Second, act according to one’s ability and improve judges’ remuneration. Local people's governments and judge management agencies must implement "preferential treatment for police officers" and effectively solve the work and life benefits of judges and their relatives, so that judges can feel at ease and enthusiastic about trial execution work. At the same time, judges must also realize that only through their own hard work and creating conditions can they win the attention and support of superior leadership agencies and local people's governments.
Third, the judge management agencies must strengthen the management of judges. We know that "strictness is love, laxity is harm, and if you don't teach, you will become bad." Judges are also ordinary people, and they are changing all the time. The court must not only strengthen system construction, but more importantly, implement it well. If you only write disciplines and systems on paper, stick them on the wall, and talk about them, but do not implement them in actions, you will only be "Ye Gong loves dragons." The last victims are often our courts and judges. Many judges of Wuhan Intermediate Court and Yichang Intermediate Court accepted bribes from lawyers and made decisions in a perverted manner. The case was finally settled, which sounded the alarm for us. Our judges must not go astray here.
