Law is a science of the world. It is inseparable from empirical analysis. You cannot sit in the book of letters and build cars in closed doors. at this point.

Entering the library of the Law Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the academic atmosphere is strong, and the rows of tidy bookshelves are rich in books, which makes people feel involuntarily calm down. In the legal hall of the Law Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Tian He was constantly filled with herself, but her goal was not only in the study of the head, but to achieve faith and ambitions on a larger stage.

As the director of the National Rule of Law Index Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, a researcher at the Institute of Law, and a special professor at the School of Law of the University of China, Tian He has an excellent educational background, extraordinary talk, and prominent professional ability.

She was not in any label, and she was fearless and fearless. Adhering to the work practice of comprehensively governing the country in accordance with the law, focusing on deep issues in the development of the rule of law, and putting forward countermeasures for the construction of the rule of law in my country is her belief and persistence.

From practice, to practice

To undertake the country's research projects and buried the research projects in the Academy of Social Sciences, Tian He's daily work is always busy. And one of the major focus of her current work is the Blue Book series of rule of law. There are 9 books in this series, which are quite influential at home and abroad. "I have been engaged in the editing work of the Blue Book for more than 10 years." Tian He said. In 2006, she took over the work of the Blue Book of the rule of law, but at that time, the positioning of this series was not very clear. How can such professional books be accepted by the government, courts, and the public? Tian He started to think, "This is a difficult road, and it is also the road that has not been traveled before. We have carried out countless explorations and Research."

After taking over the Blue Book series of the rule of law, Tian He formed a team and began to discuss how to make this series enter the society. "Law research should promote social progress." She and the team studied and analyzed the practice of the first few blue books, and keenly discovered a problem: they used second -hand data and lacking first -hand data. "The second -hand data comes from the work report made by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate at the two nationwide conferences, and our blue book is mainly to interpret these two reports." However, no matter how to interpret, it is not as good as the Supreme People's Court, The Supreme People's Procuratorate is professional. “所以，我们必须开创一条新的道路。”田禾很快决定：要以研究机构的身份，也就是第三方的身份对政府、法院、检察院以及其他的一些司法机构进行评估，拿出一套Your own data, "From practice, to practice."

In 2008, Tian He set up a research room for the rule of law and began to investigate in -depth local investigations. It was not smooth at first. "Because we used to do more theoretical research, text research, and the analysis of legal provisions, it was a bit disconnected from reality. Therefore, in the place, others do not know who we are, and often confuse us with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Laws' '. "Tian He said with a smile," We realized that the original popularity of the Social Sciences Institute is not high enough, which also shows that laws are used as an applied discipline, the influence and influence on society and society The driving force needs to be strengthened. "

At the earliest, many local courts did not cooperate. Tian He and her research team encountered many difficulties. In 2006, she went to investigate a topic -regarding the situation adopted by the court of defense of the second instance of the lawyer of the death penalty case. They contacted the leaders of the local high court through the leaders of the Supreme People's Court, saying that they wanted to check the dossiers in the past, mainly to see the situation of the lawyer's defense and the defense opinions adopted, and they were also licensed. As a result, when they arrived in the court, they couldn't even enter the door. "I will never forget, how difficult it is to go out for a national academic institution to go out to investigate."

The difficult situation of "ignoring" like this has gradually improved with the efforts of Tian He and the team. "After our research and evaluation report came out, everyone can see it very objective, very constructive, and can promote the work of the District Court. So the local courts welcomed us in particular. Today, the more contact with the society, the more close the relationship is. Everyone will be very welcome whether they go to the government, the court or any domestic institution. "This makes us feel that academic research actually has a great social influence. The key is to depend on how you do, which ways, and what methods you use."

the Rainbow comes after the storm. Tian He's most impressed by the experience of contacting the Higher People's Court of Zhejiang Province in 2013. "At that time, they came directly to the law of law to see me. I happened to have something to do. It was another colleague who saw them. They said that they must ask Teacher Tian and the team to go to the Zhejiang High Court to investigate and evaluate the judicial disclosure of the 105 courts in Zhejiang in Zhejiang. The situation. "The change from" passive "to" proactive "has made Tian He pleased. Now, the influence of the Blue Book of the rule of law. "Facts prove that our way has been successful."

The footprints of Tian He and her team were printed across the country. They all enjoy a high popularity in the national courts. Everyone is inviting "Teacher Tian", "but because of the epidemic, they can only" walk around "online." Tian He regrets, but also believes that in the future, they will still have more opportunities to enter the place and come into contact with practice. Law is the science of the world

In the Blue Book series of rule of law, the most important thing is the "Rule of Law Blue Book · China Law Development Report". "We also call it the" Big Blue Book "." Tian He introduced, the second book is the "Rule of Law Blue Book · Local Law Development Report". The reason why a "place" was founded because the influence of the "Big Blue Book" was opened, and many places were willing to see and see the people of the country in many places. "So these two books are sisters, which can also be said to be spring rolls and autumn rolls." This series also includes the "Rule of Law Blue Book · China Judicial System Development Report" and "Law Blue Book · China Court of Information Development Report". "".

In Tian He's view, without informationization, there is no modernization of the court, and there is no court's trial ability and the modernization of the trial system. At the beginning of the survey, the acceptance of the court's informatization was not high. She remembered that when she first went to the Shandong Court to investigate in 2012, some leaders told her that in order to let the judges agree with the information of the court's informatization, they specially opened a training course to start with the lifestyle to let the judges agree with the informationization. Car software and food order software make them feel the convenience of informatization. " When investigating and visiting the courts across the country, she deeply felt the gap in informationization in various places. "Some are relatively backward and some are very advanced." But this "backward" and "advanced" do not completely refer to facilities, including concepts. "Although some of the facilities in the underwriting area are backward, the concept is very advanced, and they do their best. This makes me admire. Of course, in some developed areas, facilities and concepts are more advanced, which is even better." For example, Zhejiang The court has opened an internal system to Tian He and her team. "We can enter their case handling system in Beijing to check the situation of leading cadres." Moreover, after the development of the court informatization, the situation of human intervention cases dropped sharply.

Law is a science of the world. It is inseparable from empirical analysis. You cannot sit in the book of letters and build cars in closed doors. at this point. She has never been challenging throughout the line and running on the front line all year round. In 2017, she had an unexpected fracture of her left leg during the investigation, and her legs and feet were still not convenient. In addition, she did not care about the fact that she had suffered a huge pain in her body. Modify the report ... There are many jobs that should be invested. "Some people thought that after so many things and so much influential 'Tian He' must be a man." When mentioning this, Tian He laughed, "Why can't women do some shocking motivation What about it? "But she did not fully agree with the word" feminism ", and never felt that women must be higher than men." Correctly, it should be called 'equalism'. "Tian He is not a so -called" "A strong woman", but can think of others, and solve the problem from a professional perspective, full of great affinity and consent.

As she said in a message to the graduates of this year's law school, "Where the end of each person stands depends on our daily efforts and struggles; With perfect perfect, there will be some rewards; everyone you meet is worth cherishing, so that you will have brothers and friends in the world; everyone has the sun on everyone, depending on how we let ourselves shine.
