Stories about the Law
Zhang Shuming
On the rule of law society
It has always been well known
A society that advocates and enforces the rule of law
There is nothing wrong with a society that promotes and enforces the rule of law

But a society based on the rule of law is not what it says it is
It has to be implemented on the ground
It's not something that's just for show.
It's just a perfunctory way to get by.

Everyone is equal before the law.
A prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the common people
If we do all that, we'll have a good society.
Naturally, the people will support it, and there's no need to shout hooray.

National treatment is a measure of fairness and justice.
This requires the law to protect
The right to be a human being.
That's what citizens care about most.

The politics of fooling the people, where no one is punished but the common people.
Is just a kind of feudalism and authoritarianism.
Feudal authoritarianism
How can we expect such a society to give the people their rights as human beings?

The more authoritarian a society is
The more it likes to boast of its impartiality
They always like to put on crown after crown of glamor.
They're so shamelessly flaunting themselves.


关于法律的故事
张淑明
关于法治社会
一直以来都为众人所道
一个倡导并实施法治的社会
不会有什么不好

但法治社会并不像嘴上说的那样
一定得实地实施才有作用
而不是说给人听
敷衍了事蒙混过关让人看看而已

法律面前人人平等
王子犯法与庶民同罪
都做到了就一定是个不错的社会
自然百姓也会拥护也用不着山呼万岁

国民待遇是一个公平公正的尺度
这就需要以法律来维护
做人的权利
才是公民最关心的事情

那种刑不上大夫礼不下庶人的愚民政治
只是一种将民众玩弄于股掌之中的
封建专制主义思想作祟
哪能期待这样的社会能给百姓以做人的权利

越是专治独裁的社会
越是喜欢标榜自己的公正无私
总喜欢给自己戴上一顶又一顶光彩照人的冠冕
如此的招摇过市而恬不知耻
