As a judge who has been engaged in civil trial work for a long time, in the face of all kinds of cases, in addition to carefully studying the legal provisions, objectively analyzing the complex evidence, accurately determining the facts deliberately covered up by the parties, and correctly making fair judgments, some typical cases will cause him to think more about the social significance shown in addition to the case itself.

In the process of human society moving from ignorance to civilization, in addition to the promotion of the material production base, there will always be some pioneers who are the first to realize in each era, who either lead an era with their actions or thoughts, and even influence the direction of human progress for hundreds of years and thousands of years with their profound thinking.

In the process of advancing the times, there will be some old and young people in each era, who will still sleep in the past and continue to live in the shackles set by the old rules. As a result, there will be conflicts between the old and the new in every era, but there are differences in the way of conflict, in various forms, and in different degrees of urgency.

In the transition period between the old and new social systems, there are often stormy social changes, and human beings often subvert revolutions in extreme ways to complete the alternation of the old and new eras. The transition period between the old and new systems, where the contradictions are relatively relaxed, will complete the social transformation with various reforms.

The deep-seated reason for the occurrence of some typical cases is the real-life manifestations caused by the inevitable conflict between various old and new concepts in the process of social life developing towards modern civilization.

After completing the trial of a marriage and family case, Dongfang Siyi received the parties to several more cases. Towards noon, I was about to go out to attend a work meeting with a short notice, when the office phone rang sharply again.

As soon as Dongfang Siyi picked up the phone, Sijijun's hoarse voice poured down like a torrential rain: "I said, President Dongfang, when are you going to pay off your debts?" When you call your phone, it's either busy or unanswered, and sometimes it simply shuts down. If you don't take it again, I'm going to come directly to collect the debt. Can you give me an exact time, when will I be able to deliver the manuscript? If other contributing writers drag their feet like your brother, we'll have to stop publishing. ”

Dongfang Siyi only then remembered that the draft of the weekend edition of the supplement of "Time Daily" had been delayed for two issues. The first few times Sijijun called, he was still polite, but this time he was obviously a little anxious. Dongfang Siyi turned off his mobile phone during the trial, and after receiving the information, he was supposed to go back, but when he was busy with this and that high-speed operation, he forgot about this also very important matter.

"Ah, dear Four Seasons-kun, I'm really sorry, there are so many things in my hands this month, I'm so busy all day long that I dare to put aside such an important matter as your brother, I'm really sorry. Tonight I will start working overtime all night to pay off your debts, if you are not satisfied, you will come over in person one day, I will invite you to a big meal, and I will compensate you in person. What do you think, old friend? ”

Four Seasons laughed out loud: "Hurry up and pay off the debt, and the next issue of the manuscript will count on you." A big meal? I'll keep it with you first, and I'll let you know when I want to come, and I can't afford to pay for it, including the meal you just mentioned. ”

The weekend edition of "Time Daily" has a marriage and love column every month, mainly through telling marriage and love stories, looking through social hot issues and phenomena, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting social righteousness, establishing new social trends, and publicizing the rule of law.

Dongfang Siyi is one of the special writers of the weekend edition, and the editor Sijijun has urged him several times, but because of the problem of the subject matter, Dongfang Siyi has not written for a long time. Seeing that Sijijun was a little anxious, Dongfang Siyi said: "No way, there are no particularly eye-catching cases recently, there are no new types of marriage and family cases, and there are no strange cases that can satisfy the public's curiosity, and they can't achieve the surprising effect you request." If you're in a hurry, I'll just dig out some new ideas from two old stories. ”

Sijijun reluctantly agreed: "Your brother has a way to turn stones into gold, so it's up to you to dig up something new." All in all, it should be readable, have a certain social and educational significance, and preferably be thought-provoking. ”

Dongfang Siyi said: "I'll dig it as hard as I can, I seem to have fallen into a state of sluggish thinking recently, and I always feel that I don't have the same confidence as before, and I ask for the forgiveness of Sijijun." ”

Sijijun comforted very understandingly: "You may have also fallen into a professional inertial state of thinking, I know that the civil cases accepted by the court are strange, and there are all kinds of strange things." It's just that you may have seen so much that you turn a blind eye, and it's not surprising. ”

Dongfang Siyi felt that Sijijun had guessed his current mental state correctly. Indeed, he felt more and more that there was an inevitable habitual thinking that controlled him and affected his understanding and judgment. His mind seemed to be caught in a strange circle, he wanted to jump out, but he felt powerless. He sometimes asks himself, is this also an occupational disease?

The two stories that Dongfang Siyi wants to write are the two divorce cases that have been concluded this month. The story is not twisty, and the reasons for the divorce are particularly old-fashioned. What makes Dongfang Siyi feel a little emotional is also because they are old, the old ones have no new ideas, but they make people feel that not all the stories in the fresh time are fresh, and some of the tragedies of the past are still continuing in some places.

The main reason for this is that those concepts rooted in the old era are still stubbornly growing in places that we can't see, and have not died out on their own with the civilization and progress of society. Their roots remain uncut from the past, and some grow new tentacles.

The heroine of one of the stories is called Ayu, a professional woman with an open mind and an independent personality, and the male protagonist is called Xiao Qiang, a phoenix man who has received modern higher education, is aggressive, and has a successful career.

Ayu was originally born in the countryside, and her parents had three children, one boy and two girls, and she was the youngest. Originally, she would have finished primary school in the countryside, and perhaps secondary school, like other rural children, but the chances of going to university were very unlikely. This means that after graduating from high school, like many of her peers, she will either go home to farm or go out to work, and then get married and have children, and live her life like her own parents.

In the summer when Ayu was five years old, when she returned home in disgrace after playing crazy with her friends outside, she found that there were two unknown guests in the house, a man and a woman.

The man looked much younger than Ayu's father, wearing a dark suit and a pair of shiny black leather shoes. The woman's dress is very casual but very beautiful, and her floral dress fits very well, Ayu only thinks that she looks much better than her mother.

When Ayu saw the stranger, she wanted to get away, but the good-looking woman stopped her: "You are Ayu, right?" It's funny, so naughty, a bit like when I was a kid, I also liked to play crazy and always run home covered in mud. ”

Ayu later learns that the two guests are distant uncles and aunts who work in the city. That day, my aunt took her dirty little hand lovingly and said, "Ayu, my aunt wants to take you home, to the city, and let you study, are you willing?" Ayu agreed without thinking about it: "I do." The aunt smiled happily, and the uncle smiled happily.

Ayu followed her uncle and aunt back to the city. Because the uncle and aunt did not have their own biological children, Ayu became the adopted daughter of the uncle and aunt, and the uncle and aunt became Ayu's adoptive father and adoptive mother.

Ayu later learned that her adoptive father and adoptive mother were both senior managers working in a large state-owned M company, with her adoptive father being a member of the company's board of directors and her adoptive mother being the head of the company's logistics department.

The conditions of Ayu's new home are vastly different from the family she was born in, and her adoptive father and adoptive mother regard Ayu as a pearl in their palms. Ayu has been playful since she was a child and doesn't like to read. The adoptive father and adoptive mother tried their best to hope that she could study with peace of mind, but she just couldn't change her playful habit.

The adoptive father said, "Ayu, you have to go to college, otherwise, you will only be a blue-collar worker in the future." Ayu said with a hippie smile: "It's good to be a blue-collar worker, you don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to think about a lot of work things when you go home like Abba and Auntie." ”

After failing to get into university three times, her adoptive father and adoptive mother had to attend a technical school according to her preferences, and three years later, she graduated from the technical school and naturally became the new blue-collar employee of the large state-owned M company.

The male protagonist of this story is of course indispensable, his name is Xiao Qiang, a low-level manager who passed the exams after graduating from college and entered the M company.

Xiao Qiang has been a scholar in the eyes of his friends since he was in elementary school, and with his own efforts, at the age of twenty-two, he was admitted to the provincial key polytechnic university, and walked out of the mountain where his ancestors had lived for generations.

The outside world is wonderful, but he quickly learns after a class reunion that the wonderful world is not his own. Because he found that he was separated from the world by one invisible ticket after another. Those tickets came at a price, and he couldn't afford to pay them for the time being.

Xiao Qiang thought silently in his heart, the resilience of the mountain people allowed him to get out of the mountains, and the resilience of the mountain people would also allow him to win the tickets he needed, and let him enter the world that was closed in the door one after another. He finally calmed down, sacrificed the happy time that young people had, and put all his energy into his studies, and he was able to get the highest scholarship every year.

Four years of college life became a thing of the past in a blink of an eye, and with his own efforts, Xiao Qiang successfully entered a large state-owned M company and became a new white-collar worker. As the youngest generation of the company's management, Xiao Qiang, who is full of ambition, imagines his bright future in the future, imagines the closed doors that he once refused to enter, and imagines the infinite excitement behind those gates.

In the new world, Xiao Qiang soon became one of the young people who made a difference in Company M. The door of luck is also in his expectation, one after another is opening for him, and love is beginning to beckon him.
