Extended data:
2065438+February 20, 2003, 65438+2003, was selected as "People Who Influenced the Rule of Law in China in 2065438+2003" by China News Weekly.
Winner: Pu Zhiqiang, lawyer, managing partner of Beijing Huayi Law Firm.
Reason for winning the prize: He is known as the "die-hard faction" in the legal field, but he has the greatest goodwill for the improvement of the legal system. He chose a series of reeducation-through-labor cases as the starting point in a series of events that were too sharp and unbearable for morality and conscience. He tried to melt the seemingly unbreakable institutional ice with tiny goodwill. He was guarding the party's dream of rule of law and completing his "conscience work" as a legal person.
