Cheng Shaoyong is from Longyao County, Hebei Province. He has a sense of justice since childhood and likes to stand up for injustice. When encountering unfair things or seeing weak people being bullied, he can't help but help. "This is a kind of fate." He smiled and said that it may be a subconscious influence. Under the advice of his teachers and parents, he resolutely chose to study law in college. "At that time, his understanding of law was relatively simple. He felt that he could master a skill and settle down, and use legal weapons to eliminate violence and safeguard good, punish evil and promote good, and achieve social fairness and justice."
In 2006, after graduating from Southwest University of Political Science and Law, Cheng Shaoyong accidentally saw the Shenzhen court system recruiting judge assistants. In 2007, he passed the civil service examination and joined the Bao'an District People's Court. He is now a judge and a fourth-level senior judge of the Financial Court of the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court. "Shenzhen is an open, inclusive and vibrant special zone city, with a developed economy and a good legal environment. I think it can better realize my career ideals and life dreams here." Over the years, Cheng Shaoyong has been deeply involved in judicial case handling, project research, comprehensive material writing and other fields, with outstanding achievements, and has successively won the honors of advanced individuals, outstanding Communist Party members, individual third-class merits, and third-class merits in special research work in courts.
diligent, pragmatic and abiding by the responsibilities of judges
"There is a popular saying on the Internet that you are not handling a case, but other people's lives." In Cheng Shaoyong's view, the personality of a judge is the ultimate guarantee of justice. Choosing the profession of a judge means choosing loneliness. He said that if you want to become a judge who is upright and impartial in law, you must be cautious, endure loneliness, withstand temptation, and ensure that the judicial power is exercised independently, fairly and efficiently in accordance with the law.
In the past 15 years since he entered the court, he has been tempered at multiple levels and positions such as the criminal trial courts of grassroots courts, people's courts, intermediate court research offices, and financial courts. He has always insisted on being responsible for the law, facts, and parties involved, as if walking on thin ice and facing the abyss, handle every case rigorously and standardizedly, write every judgment document, and strive to defend the law and analyze the disputes and stop disputes.
Behind each judicial case, a family is involved, and even affects the life direction of the parties involved. When recalling various cases in the past, Cheng Shaoyong said that there was a case of compensation for personal injury in . "The case balanced the interests of both parties to the greatest extent through mediation, and realized the case was settled, which also made him feel a sense of professional accomplishment." Because his adult daughter fell to the building on the third floor of a hotel and died, the old father complained to the court in tears, believing that the hotel did not have a guardrail and lacked surveillance equipment, he asked the hotel to bear the compensation liability. The hotel owner said that there were no guardrails installed on the lower floors, which was due to the need for fire escape, and the hotel rented a place to operate. The business was bleak due to the fall incident and was on the verge of closure. Considering that the parties involved did not have fundamental conflicts of interest and were all unfortunate, in order to promote harmonious resolution of the dispute, Cheng Shaoyong patiently mediated, which eventually prompted the two parties to reach a settlement. For humanitarian considerations, the hotel gave 20,000 yuan in cash compensation on the spot.
In a telecommunications service contract dispute case, the parties had a dispute over how to determine the billing unit for abnormal telephone charges, but there was no clear provision in the relevant laws. After reviewing a large number of information and cases, Cheng Shaoyong identified that group users who open multiple phone numbers should use a single phone number as a billing unit for abnormal and huge phone bills and make full sense. Based on this, the telecommunications operation service providers are ordered to bear corresponding responsibilities, provide reference for similar cases, and also provide communication operators with correct fulfillment of abnormal and huge phone bill reminders, effectively avoid wasting communication resources, and clarify the behavior rules.
"Judicial judgments should not only play the role of dispute resolution, but also play a standardized and leading role, declare behavioral rules, stabilize social expectations, and lead social trends."Since he became a judge, Cheng Shaoyong's presiding case has covered many types such as personal injury compensation, sales contracts, lease contracts, , labor disputes, equity transfer, factoring, bills, insurance, financial loans and guarantees. One of the judgment documents was awarded the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court's annual outstanding judgment documents, and an individual won the 2016 special commendation for case clearance work.
