Zhou Xixian, 75, was a Chinese teacher in Huang Songyou High School. He taught Huang Songyou from the time he entered Dongfanghong Middle School in Chenghai County to the time he graduated from high school. After many years, Huang Songyou rose to the top and never forgot his teacher. When he returned to his hometown on holidays, Huang did not forget to greet his teacher, although he came and went in a hurry.

When Huang Rongsheng was promoted to vice president of the Supreme Court, he felt very gratified for the students, but then something happened to him. "This is beyond my imagination." Zhou Xixian sighed. The old man Zhou Xixian said that Huang Songyou was born in three generations of poor peasant families, and he was the youngest of several children in the family. Huang Songyou was studious, modest and prudent at school. He is a good student with excellent academic performance. He is a study committee member in his class, especially in Chinese and politics. Zhou Xixian said that Huang Songyou's composition is fluent and often quoted by others. In Chinese class, Huang Songyou always answers the teacher's questions positively and accurately. Zhou Xixian recalled that Huang Songyou was not very talkative in character. He gets to school early every day and goes home after school.

After class, Huang Songyou's specialty began to show. Zhou Xixian said that Huang Songyou often practices calligraphy. At that time, the school journals in the school were all written in Chinese calligraphy and posted on the wall. After Huang Songyou joined the school magazine, many school magazines posted on the wall came from him. Huang Songyou can both sing and play. From 65438 to 0974, Huang Songyou returned to his hometown to farm after graduating from high school. It is said that he posted a pair of couplets outside the house, "hoe the dustpan basket at sunrise and play flute, string, pipa and guzheng at night" to encourage himself. After working in the countryside, Huang Songyou didn't relax his study. 1978, the college entrance examination resumed, and Huang Songyou was admitted to the Law Department of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and his fate turned from then on. Pengpeng, a college classmate, confirmed Huang Songyou's poverty and hard work. Peng's first impression of him was that when Huang Songyou entered the university, he could clearly see that he was "from a less affluent place". Huang's second impression is that Huang Songyou practices calligraphy with waste newspapers almost every day at noon. The third impression is that Huang Songyou later became a famous singer in the whole school.

Cong, a Guangdong lawyer, is a college classmate of Huang Songyou. He commented that Huang was "very active in literature and art, but not unassuming and relatively introverted". Even after graduation, Huang Songyou was promoted quickly, but he didn't look special. When Huang Songyou was working in Guangdong, Cong visited his home. "That is also the decoration of ordinary families in Guangzhou, which is even worse." After Huang Songyou went to the Supreme Court, his old classmates went to Beijing. "As long as Huang has time, he tries his best to get together with his classmates and is very enthusiastic about them." . Many of Huang Songyou's former classmates lamented, "I don't want to talk about it any more. My classmates are very concerned about his case.". A related person working in the court system said that Huang Songyou is a scholar-type judge. Huang Songyou has written a lot, especially in the field of civil justice.

Huang Songyou is also quite confident about his research in the academic field. In the conclusion of his doctoral thesis, when talking about the research status and difficulties of civil trial power, he claimed that he was "a small' leader' of the civil trial work of the highest judicial organ, and it seems that he is duty-bound". Ironically, Huang Songyou listed two small chapters in his doctoral thesis, which were about "keeping clean and honest" and "strengthening self-cultivation". Huang Songyou wrote in his paper, "A judge is no longer an ordinary person when he wears a robe ... He should keep a certain and moderate distance from other members of society as far as possible". From 65438 to 0982, Huang Songyou graduated from Southwest University of Political Science and Law and entered the Guangdong Higher People's Court. 1997, Huang Songyou was transferred as the president of Zhanjiang Intermediate People's Court. During his stay in Zhanjiang, he organized the trial of the "9898" Zhanjiang smuggling case that shocked China and foreign countries. He was commended by the Guangdong Higher People's Court for his outstanding completion of the trial task.

1999 relying on his achievements in Guangdong, Huang Songyou left his wife and children to come to Beijing and walked into the gate of the Supreme People's Court. His profound theoretical foundation and many years of judicial practice experience made him equally outstanding in Beijing, and accordingly he was promoted to vice president of the Supreme People's Court from June 5438 to February 2002, in charge of civil trial and execution. Huang Songyou, who "moved his capital to Beijing", was sought after by the media for pushing the deterrent mechanism to be implemented throughout the country. In addition, his talkative and cheerful personality and in-depth thinking about legal business also left a deep impression on many journalists. At the same time, he insisted on writing after work and published dozens of papers and monographs. He also served as part-time professor in Tsinghua University, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, China University of Political Science and Law, National Judges College and other universities. Before being detained, Huang Songyou was an excellent "scholar" official.
