Character evaluation

Xu zhangrun: China's modern law originated from the reform in the late Qing Dynasty. Up to now, it has gone through five dynasties. However, looking back at the Centennial gathering, throughout the 20th century, Mr. Wu Gongjing Xiong was the only Chinese jurist who really enjoyed world-class reputation. When we look back a hundred years later, we can see the way of the world, the meaning of the law, and the heart of the people. It's still the Duke Wu who is looking forward to the couple.
