He was a famous minister in the Han
Dynasty.
History books tell a story about him.
He is a very cautious person, he will think
carefully before making a decision.
People who do not know him will think that he
is very light-hearted, but in fact his personality is very serious.
It is difficult for others to see what he
is really thinking.
He was once the highest judicial officer in
the Han Dynasty.
The cases he heard were all of the
celebrities and high officials in the capital at the time.
He will consult with the king before trying
some important cases, and he will understand the king's views during the
consultation.
If the king hates the criminal, he will use
the strictest law to judge him.
If the king likes the criminal, he will use
the most lenient law to judge that person.
One day his good friend said to him.
You should judge these criminals fairly
according to the laws of the land and not according to the king's opinion.
He replied.
Since the founding of the Han dynasty, the
laws had changed from simple to complex.
The sources of these laws have been
continually revised by the kings of successive dynasties to become what they
are today.
Each king will change the law according to
the environment of the time and adapt it to the real situation.
Each king has the absolute power to propose
and formulate laws.
So I respect the opinion of the current
king more than the letter of the law, and I think it's the right thing to do.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
Is the legal system in your country sound?
Do you agree or disagree with his ideas?
I hope this story can give you a new
harvest.

他是漢王朝一位著名的大臣。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
他是一個很謹慎的人，他要做出任何一個決定前都會先經過慎重的思考才會做決定。
跟他不熟悉的人會覺得他非常的隨和，但是其實他的性格非常嚴肅。
別人很難看出他真正的想法。
他曾經擔任漢王朝的最高司法官。
他所負責審理的案件都是當時首都中的名人大官。
他在審判一些重大的案件前會先跟國王討論，在討論的過程中他就會了解國王的看法。
如果國王討厭這個犯罪的人，他就會用最嚴格的法律去審判這個人。
如果國王喜歡這個犯罪的人，他就會用最寬容的法律去審判這個人。
有一天他的好朋友對他說。
你應該依照國家的法律公正地去審判這些犯了罪的人，你不應該依照國王的看法去作出審判。
他回答。
漢王朝從開國之來，法律條文從原本的簡單變成複雜。
這些法律條文的來源都是經過歷代的國王而不斷的修改才形成現在的樣子。
每一任的國王都會針對當時的環境去修改法律已符合真實的現況。
每一任的國王都擁有對於法律的絕對的提議與制定的權力。
因此我尊重現任國王的看法勝過尊重法律條文，我認為做法是對的。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你的國家中的法律體制是否健全呢?你認同還是不認同他的想法呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
