Only love can withstand the long years

2024 10/09
When the wind and water are rising, the swift current retreats bravely; At a time of bright prospects, resolutely leave. Transforming from a dominant party A to a dominant party B; From mature state-owned enterprise legal affairs to entering the legal field for the first time. For most people, getting rid of the comfort in their own world is a difficult task that requires careful consideration, but for him, this choice is a resounding work that he has been unable to forget for many years.

After 10 years of practice, he has "run with all his might" and become a highly recognized practicing lawyer by clients. With several years of unwavering perseverance, he has written with all his strength that "only love can withstand the long years". In this issue, let's get closer to Lawyer Qu Shuai, a partner at Gaopeng Law Firm.


Love is the deepest and most enduring force in a person's heart. It is not a sudden impulse, nor will it be fleeting due to the change of seasons. On the contrary, even after being tested and baptized by time, it can still continuously provide nourishment for people.


Legal belief, rooted in the heart

In 2015, based on years of accumulated legal experience, I decided to actively expand my career path and devote myself to the industry field that I have long been concerned about. Someone once asked me, is it worth choosing to step out of 'stability' during the upward phase of my career? I can only say that this decision was a result of years of waiting and a choice made in accordance with one's heart.

For me, a career that I truly love and a profession that ignites passion is not just a livelihood choice, but also a necessary condition for me to find a sense of achievement and satisfaction in my work, and a necessary path to realizing my self-worth.

I am well aware that career transition comes with great uncertainty, and I have also hesitated and been confused. But the voice deeply rooted in my heart made me let go of my fear of the future and prepare myself to face all challenges. Although this process is full of unknowns and challenges, I still firmly believe that I am capable of taking on a new role and finding my own value in a new field. I am also confident that I have found a career that I can fully devote myself to and strive for for throughout my life.


Reserve 'fuel' and embark on an exploration journey

My previous experience with the client has enabled me to gain a deeper understanding of their needs and expectations, and to identify the essence of the problem more accurately. This experience not only allowed me to accumulate rich knowledge and experience, but also became the cornerstone of my growth as a "new" lawyer.

I have always believed that every experience on the journey of life contains its unique value, and every journey is not in vain. They are like precious fuel, providing a continuous source of power for the flame of the soul, helping us to move forward, explore, and grow on the path of the future.

From students to newcomers in the workplace, from grassroots employees to social elites, we may experience multiple role transitions. However, no matter which stage of our life we are in, how our identity changes, or what role we play, only continuous learning and progress can make us firmly establish ourselves in the constantly changing society and become more comprehensive and outstanding individuals. Only those who are brave enough to face challenges, willing to accept new knowledge, and continuously learn can ride the wind and overcome the waves.


The recognition of the parties is more important than the court's judgment, and this recognition even surpasses the authority of a legal document.

The 'Way of Growth' for Lawyers - Benevolence, Righteousness, and Trust

The way and outcome of resolving disputes is not just about winning the lawsuit. The goal pursued by lawyers should not be limited to winning lawsuits, but more importantly, to assist parties in solving practical problems and bringing positive changes to their lives. "- Lawyer Qu Shuai

Victory is not just one form, it should not be limited to the outcome in court, nor is it a simple binary opposition. It can be the clever application of wisdom, the flexible display of strategies, the use of legal means to obtain better conditions for the client, or the search for a win-win solution in resolving disputes. Whether it is reducing the losses of the client, failing to fully meet the plaintiff's demands, or achieving favorable results in other aspects, these can all be seen as a victory.

As an important role in legal practice, lawyers should be based on humanistic care and guided by benevolence and love. The professional responsibility of a lawyer goes far beyond simply applying legal provisions, but also lies in caring for people. Exploring new solutions within the current legal system, selecting the most favorable solutions for parties, and assisting them in safeguarding and realizing their legitimate rights and interests within the scope permitted by law, is not only the direction we should constantly pursue and strive for, but also the ultimate goal of legal work.

Legal professionals should have faith and warmth, which is the rightful duty of justice for the people. "- Lawyer Qu Shuai

In the eyes of a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets. Similarly, a thousand lawyers will have a thousand interpretations of their profession. As the guardian of the law, the profession of a lawyer is not limited to the application and practice of legal knowledge, but also a test of personal qualities and morality. This test is the charm of lawyers and the uniqueness of this profession.

To become a highly respected lawyer, one needs to go through a long and profound period of self-cultivation. Among them, the most fundamental and indispensable is the unique 'righteousness' of lawyers - a firm loyalty and persistent pursuit of the law, clients, and personal professional beliefs. This loyalty is reflected in the logical arguments presented in every defense, the rigorous and meticulous handling of every case, and the courage to speak out in the face of injustice. Although the law may be cold and rigorous, lawyers should be warm and full of humanity.


I aspire to become a steadfast guardian in the eyes of my clients, not just a lawyer who can accurately measure justice and fairness on the balance of the law. "- Lawyer Qu Shuai

The fairness and authority of the law are not only manifested in grand legal rulings and reforms, but also deeply embedded in seemingly small but crucial details. As a legal practitioner, I often carefully search for clues of justice in the complex details, striving to withstand the rigorous test of time and law in every detail.

I am well aware that every decision I make is like a weight on a delicate balance, influencing the course of the case and even potentially changing the fate of the parties involved. I am also well aware that I represent those who entrust their fate to me, and their trust and expectations are like a heavy burden weighing on my shoulders, making me never slack off.

The most exquisite language art of lawyers is reflected in these cases that embody wisdom and hard work. This dedication and focus on legal affairs is the best way and means to do a good job as a lawyer. I hope to use my actions to make every party feel the warmth and power of the law, so that they can have confidence and courage to pursue justice and fairness when facing difficulties.


The 'Way of Being a Lawyer' - Professionalism can go from heaven to earth, but practicing must be down-to-earth

No one will deliberately ask you to do anything, and you can choose not to submit a perfect answer sheet. The key is what kind of self you want to be. Talent may help you become an outstanding lawyer, but if not, diligence and hard work can also make you a decent lawyer. "- Lawyer Qu Shuai

In this industry full of challenges and opportunities, every step is full of possibilities for exploration and discovery. Taking my years of experience in commercial litigation and corporate compliance as an example, even if I have been through numerous battles, I may still encounter unprecedented challenges in the next case.

The legal profession is an industry that requires long-term practice and accumulation, and it is an industry that requires patient precipitation and self-improvement. Here, there is no overnight success, nor is there a once and for all comfort. It requires every practitioner to possess extraordinary patience and perseverance, slowly settling in the current of the industry and constantly honing their willpower and skills. At the same time, this is also an industry that requires continuous insight into the future and forward-looking vision.

Emerging fields require deeper cultivation and meticulous work. "- Lawyer Qu Shuai

In today's rapidly changing era, emerging fields have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, injecting strong impetus into social progress and becoming important engines for promoting economic development. In recent years, the two emerging fields that I have actively explored and deeply cultivated - plant varieties and low altitude economy - are the new opportunities and challenges generated by the integration of market changes and laws.

However, the rise of emerging fields often comes with a high degree of uncertainty and complexity, and the theoretical foundations, technological implementations, and market prospects behind them are full of uncertainty, with not many successful experiences for us to learn from.

It requires us to have enough patience and perseverance to face challenges and difficulties, to have enough courage and wisdom to seize opportunities and changes, and more importantly, to have enough sense of responsibility and mission to promote social progress and development. Therefore, in order to establish a foothold in emerging fields, one not only needs to possess profound professional qualities, but also needs to have a firm heart, a resolute heart even if it is unprecedented.

April showers bring May flowers. The path of growth for lawyers is no exception.

Passing the judicial examination is undoubtedly a key milestone in the journey of the legal profession, but the true exploration and discovery have just begun. Becoming a lawyer is not the end, but the starting point of a broader learning journey. Every lawyer should always maintain a passion for learning and the courage to innovate. This process of constantly challenging and surpassing oneself is the charm and joy of practicing law, and it is precisely these uncertainties that constitute the most precious wealth in our career. It keeps us always curious, always filled with awe and longing for the unknown world, always full of spirit and prepared.

The legal profession not only requires professional legal knowledge and skills, but also a sense of responsibility to empathize with others. This sense of responsibility goes beyond considering personal interests and is also the cornerstone for lawyers to win social respect and client trust.
