Li Junming's sentence "Don't listen to falling asleep" really made many drowsy people wake up suddenly, these people were a little embarrassed, but when they found that their behavior did not attract everyone's attention, they began to fall asleep again, however; After all, there were more people in the venue who began to listen carefully to Li Junming's high-level talk:

"First of all, the reason why I am verbose on this occasion is because I suddenly feel that this topic seems to involve our future development direction, and it is very important to us, please listen quietly.

Okay, now back to the topic, a typical example of what I just said is the "Ten Commandments" in the "Old Testament", the predecessor of Christianity, the content of those precepts will not be talked about, in short, they are some basic rules of human behavior, but the Jews firmly believe that the "Ten Commandments" is a covenant between God and mankind. Got it?

Did you find out? What exactly is the law? We have always believed that the law is the will of the ruling class, the will of the rulers, and this is certainly true. However, in a world where Christian civilization is the dominant consciousness, people have long believed that the law is a covenant between man and God! It is not just the will of the rulers, nor is it the more superficial sociological meaning that was later given and alienated into the so-called will of the ruling class, the will of the state, and so on! ”

"I know, I know! This covenant is stored in the Ark of the Covenant...... There is divine power! ”

At this time, a few of the high school students finally woke up, and they interjected loudly.

"yes, there's a movie called 'The Ten Commandments.'"

"Yes, yes, I've seen it too, but I haven't understood ......"

"I do, but I'm sure only a few people do......"

"Why are they in the minority?"

"Because I watched the comments and the barrage, a group of mentally retarded people are still typing and saying something, what is this movie?"

"Okay, okay, listen to Brother Li!"

"Don't interrupt!"

"Uh, the topic is a bit far away, Brother Li, please continue to ......."

So Li Junming waited for everyone's drumming to weaken, and then continued to talk:

In short, although it may seem to us that no matter how crude and primitive the early European legal texts may be, this is not a problem, because the provisions can be gradually improved, but the sanctity of the law is never easily shaken. After all, in the context of Christianity, although in the history of Europe, many kings wanted to use royal power to change the sacred status of the law and put the law under their own power, but because the power of the church is too large, and Europe has not really been truly unified by an emperor like a 'Shenwu Emperor', so in front of the law, or in other words, in front of the church law represented by the church, those kings have never succeeded.

In the end, people still firmly believe that law can only come from God, a contract between man and God, and never from the emperors and generals who have succeeded in winning and losing.

It is precisely because of this that law has naturally become the source of social order, and with the continuous progress of civilization, it has gradually become the embodiment of social order, good customs, justice, and human conscience.

Obviously, in the context of Christianity, God is not human, but selfless and just, so these covenants between the faithful legislator and God seek justice, not human power and profit.

Of course, there are differences in the degree of selflessness and justice in different historical stages, but the general trend has always been in the direction of 'the sacred justice of the law', and history has proven this. ”

"I understand what Lawyer Li means, only by making a covenant with God, can the law be believed, the law will be unconditionally respected and obeyed, and people will be proud to abide by the law!"

"Yes, yes! This kind of thing has always happened to opportunists who have no faith. ”

"You're not right! What is an opportunist? Is there anything wrong with taking advantage of the law? If these laws are a tool used by a group of people who have become kings and defeated and who have been crowned by monkeys to rule us, and if there is a loophole, it will be fools and minions from which nothing can be recovered!! ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted angrily.

"That's right, the law is a tool for people to manipulate us, as one of the leeks, do we still have to whitewash the sickle?"

"Great! The prince will have a kind of Xiangning?! ”

"The emperor takes turns to do it, and when he comes to my house next year, what laws are not legal, if they are not broken, they will not stand! I remember the great man who said......"

"Therefore, for those who have no faith, the law is just a tool, and when the time comes, it will be round or flat, and it will be pinched according to the needs of its own rule, so it is not unholy at all......"

"Yes! For those who truly have faith, to exploit the loophole of the covenant with God? It's unimaginable......"

"So, this consequence has appeared! In a society of faith, even the king has to admit that the law is sacred and insurmountable! Because kings are men, not gods! ”

"Therefore, it is a matter of course for people to develop the idea of 'the king is under the law'."

"It feels like that's the fundamental difference between the East and the West......"

After listening to the various discussions made by everyone, Li Junming felt that although the group of people in front of him had different levels of education, they really understood the major issues of right and wrong, so he raised his voice and continued:

If, on the other hand, the law does not come from a covenant between man and God, but only by the will of the kings, then such a law will either be reduced to evil law or will be replaced by unspoken rules!

Therefore, human society under the conditions of imperial autocracy must be a typical jungle society. It is precisely because of this that in order to protect themselves and gain a sense of security, people have become a humane society with family as the emotional bond, rather than a people-oriented society under the rule of law in the general sense. So, of course, there is no such thing as 'the king is under the law'! Nor will it develop any social system that can really restrain imperial power.

This assertion has been borne out by the history of mankind and the present state of society, and it is manifested in the East as well as in the West!

Final conclusion: The so-called 'clash of civilizations' between the East and the West is a term that confuses the fundamental concept, because this conflict is, in the final analysis, a clash of systems! It's a clash of different values between different groups of people! In the real human society, there are indeed differences, mergers, and divisions and mergers between civilizations of different ethnic groups, but from the perspective of all mankind, this is just a cultural phenomenon in the process of civilization, and in the final analysis, as long as the content of civilization conforms to basic human nature, then there is no fundamental contradiction and conflict between cultures.

Therefore, the so-called 'clash of civilizations' is nothing more than a gimmick of some scholars, who may unintentionally or deliberately use this seemingly lofty term to hide from the public a very cruel truth: in fact, the real conflict occurs at the level of institutions and values! And if you delve into the deep-seated conflicts hidden behind the system and values, you can find that it is actually between different classes: conflicts of interest!

This conflict of interests occurs not only between different ethnic groups, but also between different strata within the same ethnic group, and there is no doubt that these are all in the category of conflict of interests, but in the final analysis, all this is still a question of system, that is, of values.

Therefore, the so-called clash of civilizations that you often talk about is actually a false proposition!

Well, the above is the fundamental point of view of this lawyer, please correct! ”

Li Junming finally finished his long speech.

Papapapa, there was a round of applause in the venue that was not warm, the reason why it was not enthusiastic was that reason---- although many people in the venue woke up, there were also many people who fell asleep because the topic was too deep and boring.

As the saying goes, if you are full, you don't think about it, and everyone has a meeting without a break after lunch, and sure enough, there are many people who are a little uncomfortable physiologically.

At this time, Zhu Beiguo stood up, and he followed Li Junming's words and said:

"Therefore, I strongly recommend that the Mayflower Convention should be used as an important reference material for our institution-building. These pioneers fled from England to the New World in search of hope on the Mayflower, a group of Puritans from the Old World, a people of faith who, according to my understanding of history, spiritually thought of themselves as Jews who had escaped from the cruel rule of Pharaoh in Egypt with Moses.

Because they did not want to continue to live under the rule of kings and nobles, they pinned their hopes on the opening of the new world, they hoped to live a prosperous and dignified life through their own struggles, and they did not want to be slaves of the powerful forever!

So in a word, people's values are the same.

This begs the question: what values should we have? Are the underlying values of our group aligned? If this problem can't be solved, I still suggest that Nicole regroup, and that people with the same values should be combined to cross together.

After all, only people with the same or basically the same values can achieve real and long-term cooperation, and close and high-quality cooperation is the most important guarantee for those of us who have traveled to the new world and opened up new horizons. That's why we signed a paper convention. ”
