The postgraduate entrance examination is an expedition full of glory and dreams. The high-spirited law teachers also went through the ups and downs of the postgraduate entrance examination in their youth. Among jurists, some successfully landed in the First World War through unremitting efforts, others got what they wanted in World War II, and War Three, and some missed their first choice and finally transferred to the shore... The 2023 master's degree admissions exam is about to kick off. Let us take a look at the postgraduate entrance examination stories of jurists in those years.

Zhao Lianhui: Lock the target and achieve mastery in one battle

Zhao Lianhui is a professor at the Civil and Commercial Law School of China University of Political Science and Law. He spent his master's degree at the Law School of Renmin University of China. As early as her sophomore year, Zhao Lianhui confirmed that her goal for the postgraduate entrance examination was the Renmin University Law School, where masters gathered, such as Professor Tong Rou, Professor Wang Liming, etc., who were like "god-like existences" to students who were thirsty for knowledge.

Despite the lack of resources, the desire for knowledge is always the best motivation for students to move forward. After determining the goal of taking the civil law exam, Zhao Lianhui began to collect various information about the postgraduate entrance exam and asked friends in the law department for advice on the choice of civil law textbooks. After getting Mr. Tong Rou's "Civil Law", he copied it N times, holding "the ancestor's work" and reading it at night; facing new materials that could not be found in the library, he rushed to the government reference room to search and understand the spirit of the new law; in the cold winter, he lay in front of the glass window of the school newspaper column, excerpting word by word the article about the introduction of pledge rights and mortgage rights in the new "Security Law", and he did not feel cold for more than half an hour in the snow. As the exam was approaching, Zhao Lianhui caught a cold and had a high fever. However, even though she was ill, she was still attracted by Teacher Jiang Ping's wonderful article "On the Legal Person System." Before the exam, she repeatedly copied the papers on Ten Essays on Breach of Contract by Teachers Wang Liming and Yao Hui.

Zhao Lianhui received the admission notice from the Law Department of Renmin University of China

Hard work paid off, In that era when there were no "questions", Zhao Lianhui seemed to be favored by the god of luck. - Among the two questions in the civil law , "One is to compare the difference between pledge and mortgage, and the other is to discuss the legal person system." In this way, Zhao Lianhui was admitted to the Renmin University Law School, studied under Professor Ye Lin, entered the world of civil law, and carved out her own world in the field of trust law.

Wu Xuebin: Resigning to take the postgraduate entrance examination and returning to school

If you already have a stable "iron rice bowl" job within the system, many people may not have the courage to start over. Wu Xuebin is currently a professor at Shenzhen University Law School, a senior partner at Beijing Yingke (Shenzhen) Law Firm, and an arbitrator at the Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration. In 1977, while serving in the Hubei Provincial Procuratorate, he made a resolute decision to resign from his job and return to the Central South University of Political Science and Law (now Zhongnan University of Economics and Law) to major in criminal law.

In fact, Wu Xuebin, who studied in the Law Department of Central South University as an undergraduate, has always had excellent academic performance. He is the only student in his class to win the second-class People's Scholarship for three consecutive years. He received 4 offers as soon as he graduated. Such a "record" is eye-catching even today. After working for a period of time, Wu Xuebin found that the position of Anti-Corruption Bureau was not suitable for him. "In our era, although the material conditions were very poor, there were many more opportunities for fair competition than now. There is an inevitable and proportional relationship between hard work and fruitful harvest, including the opportunity to correct mistakes." So, he made up his mind to return to school. At that time, Zhongnan University of Political Science and Law had Zhang Mingkai and other famous people in charge. More than 300 people applied for the exam, but there were only a dozen admission places. Competition was fierce. With admiration for Professor Zhang Mingkai, Wu Xuebin decided to face the difficulties.

During the days of preparing for the exam, Wu Xuebin immersed himself in review and did not dare to relax. According to his memory: "I get up at 6:00 every day and go to bed at 12:00 at night. Except for an hour's rest at noon, I am like a meditative monk, wrapped in a yellow military coat, and my daily life runs monotonously.I remember that morning, after I had studied for more than an hour, my genius began to shine. Every time I open the window and see the ice and hoarfrost on the ground, I am always touched by my dedication and spirit. " Reviewed for a hundred days, and finally got a happy ending with a leading professional score. He also became a disciple of Professor Zhang Mingkai as he wished, and then successfully entered Tsinghua University to study for a doctorate in law, embarking on an academic path.

Liu Dongliang: Postgraduate entrance examination during World War II, he got his wish

Liu Dongliang is currently Professor and doctoral supervisor at the Law School of Xi'an Jiaotong University. In 1992, Liu Dongliang graduated from a secondary college in Henan Province. He came up with the idea of receiving higher education while working as a broadcaster, and was lucky enough to go to the adult education junior college class of China University of Political Science and Law to study law. In law school , he was able to swim in the ocean of knowledge like a fish in water. Not only did he pass CET-4 and CET-6 by self-study, Examination, also passed the National Lawyer Qualification Examination . So, after accumulating a certain amount of legal knowledge, he decided to take the postgraduate examination.

Liu Dongliang compiled his learning experience during preparation for the exam into a short paper and successfully submitted it to publications such as "Administration and Law" and "Economy and Law", which gave him great encouragement and motivation to move forward. That’s it, Liu Dongliang In 1997, I successfully passed the Administrative Law Graduate School of China University of Political Science and Law and came in third place, and my re-examination score was even better. However, I unexpectedly received a "Notice of Denial of Admission". The reason was that he had graduated from junior college less than two years ago and did not meet the application requirements. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for any postgraduate candidate! In the article "There are many wonderful and unexpected things in life", teacher Liu Dongliang quoted the words from "The Count of Monte Cristo" to describe his mood at that time: "God's In the second year, Liu Dongliang regrouped and successfully admitted to the postgraduate program of Zhejiang University. He also started a smooth academic career, studying for a doctorate in litigation law at China University of Political Science and Law, entering Peking University to engage in postdoctoral research, and eventually became a professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University, with many academic achievements.

In September 1994, Liu Dongliang first went to China University of Political Science and Law to study.

During Professor Liu Dongliang’s journey to take the postgraduate entrance examination, he was fully prepared, but he missed the school of his dreams because he ignored the application requirements. It was really regrettable. However, is gold and will always shine. As long as you have the strength, law school will eventually open its arms to you.

Zhu Qingyu: Regrettably, he failed to pass the exam and went ashore during World War II.

Professor Zhu Qingyu of Nanjing University is well-known in the civil law community and is a "treasure teacher" in the hearts of the majority of students. Professor Zhu Qingyu once said with a smile that he was admitted to the China University of Political Science and Law based on a "major misunderstanding", but he firmly believed in his heart that no school had the strength of civil law. It can be compared with Dharma. Because of this, the only place he chose to take the postgraduate entrance examination was CUPL, and he never considered other schools.

When he was a student, Zhu Qingyu always had a dream of being a teacher, so the postgraduate entrance examination became something he cared about. But according to Professor Zhu Qingyu’s recollection, “Before I went to college, I was very good at taking exams. After I went to college, I suddenly became very bad at taking exams, and I stumbled every time I took the exam. During the first battle, the review for the postgraduate entrance examination was extremely intense. He was in poor physical condition and could not support it one month before the exam. "I couldn't sleep all night long, and I had a splitting headache when I read a book." Others are rushing into the exam, but I am in a daze every day. " Therefore, Zhu Qingyu, who only scored more than 40 points in the political examination, regretted that he failed the exam., and had no choice but to choose to return to work in the Procuratorate in his hometown of Jiangxi. But as the only law school graduate in the hospital, his dream has not been extinguished. In the following days, he reviewed the postgraduate entrance examination books whenever he had the opportunity at work, studied in the office, and handled cases Zi also took the book with him.

After taking the postgraduate entrance examination for the second time, he finally got his wish and returned to CUPL. He completed his master's degree and doctorate in this "highest institution of legal education", and then stayed at the school to teach. He spent a total of "twenty-two years at CUPL" and laid a solid academic foundation.

Medical Enqing: Taking the postgraduate entrance examination three times, counterattacking to realize the dream

Zhu Qingyu is not the only one who has gone from "student" to teacher on a campus. In 1991, Yao Enqing was a security guard at Taiyuan Institute of Mechanical Engineering (now North China University). Today, Teacher Yao is an associate professor of law at North China University. At that time, he was determined to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but he encountered the "Waterloo" of the postgraduate entrance examination twice in a row.

During her tenure in the Security Department, Yao Enqing studied while working, attended classes in uniform, and actively consulted teachers with books after class. Her dream of becoming a teacher became increasingly firm. He prepared for the first postgraduate entrance examination for a year and a half, but the outcome was unsatisfactory. He was 90 points away from the score line. The second postgraduate entrance examination was unfortunately failed again because he was not familiar with the teaching materials, with only a 5-point difference. Two failures in the postgraduate entrance examination did not dampen his faith. In the shock and sense of loss, he calmed down to reflect on the reasons for his failure and broke down the weaknesses one by one. "At that time, I felt that only by reviewing in earnest could I ease the pain of failure and realize my original dream." In 2003, after he took the third postgraduate examination with tears, he finally passed the master's degree in economic law at Shanxi University of Finance and Economics with a score that exceeded the admission score by 20 points.

After taking the postgraduate entrance examination three times, he realized his counterattack dream from being a campus security guard to becoming a teacher. After completing his studies, Yao Enqing chose to return to the familiar North University of China to teach. He continued to improve teaching methods, edited "Legal Experimental Tutorial", and authored "New Economic Law Tutorial" and other academic works. Today, Teacher Yao Enqing has become an academic leader in the law major of North China University, which is quite inspiring.

Tian Pingan: Missed a dream, "adjusted" to become a famous writer

According to Professor Tian Pingan, the former president of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, his path to law began with "going astray." He had wanted to be a writer or a philosopher since he was a child. When he took the college entrance examination, he did not hesitate to apply for the Chinese Department and the Philosophy Department of Peking University. In the end, he accidentally came to the Peking University Law Department and broke into the hall of law.

Tian Pingan, who first met law at Peking University , became interested in law. After that, he frequently dealt with criminal crimes while working in the public security bureau and court, and he deeply believed that he needed to further learn criminal law knowledge. Therefore, riding on the wave of the resumption of enrollment in the Political Science and Law School, Tian Pingan decided to get a graduate degree and firmly wrote "Southwestern Political Science and Law School Criminal Law Major" on the application form.

recalled the difficult conditions in the late 1970s. There was a lack of information and experience. There were no books and electronic materials that are available today, nor any systematic teaching and coaching institutions. He could only explore alone, accompanied by a kerosene lamp, racking his brains to memorize ENGLISH in a bumpy car, thinking hard about " crime constitutes ", "crime" and "punishment"... After the exam, Tian Pingan was waiting for such a notice: "Given your grades and the major you applied for, the Criminal Law major is full. If you are willing, we can transfer you to the Civil Procedure Law major." Faced with the invitation from the unfamiliar Civil Procedure Law, Mr. Tian Ping'an felt entangled, but ultimately chose to go to Geleshan to study under Professor Chang Yi, focusing on Civil Procedure Law. In 1982, he successfully graduated and became the first master's degree student in civil procedure law in New China.

In 1983, many people at the gate of Southwest University of Political Science and Law

worked hard for one goal and were unwilling to be transferred. Today, we must thank Professor Tian Pingan for his courage and perseverance at that time. If it were not for this calmness in accepting the transfer, perhaps we would regrettably miss a famous civil procedure law and a national teaching teacher, and Xinzheng would miss a good and highly respected principal. adjustment seems like a joke of fate, but it may also point to a wonderful path that you have never imagined. I hope that Professor Tian Pingan's experience can make postgraduate candidates feel more magnanimous and calm about the results.

Looking back, jurists have also gone through the difficult and tortuous road to the postgraduate entrance examination.From the dawn of dawn to the stars, in that era of simple conditions, they won the victory by writing hard and studying hard, and achieved today's academic achievements with their down-to-earth efforts step by step. I hope these inspirational postgraduate entrance examination stories can bring you some comfort. The editor also wishes the 2023 postgraduate entrance examination students to succeed in pursuing their dreams and embrace their own spring.

I wish you all good luck in taking the postgraduate entrance exam tomorrow!
