All the "officials" in the play have been searched out in reality, and the prototype of "Han Dong University" is unanimous: Nanjing University, a university named after the provincial capital or province. Although there are many speculations about Han Dong Province, after all, most of the shooting locations of this TV series are in Nanjing. So I thought of Nanjing University. The location in the TV series is: Sipailou Campus of Southeast University.

Others speculate that "Han Dong University" is one of the four departments of the Fifth Law School:

Fifth Academy: Beijing University of Political Science and Law (predecessor of China University of Political Science and Law), Southwest University of Political Science and Law (predecessor of Southwest University of Political Science and Law), East China University of Political Science and Law (predecessor of East China University of Political Science and Law), Zhongnan University of Political Science and Law (predecessor of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law), northwest university of politics and law (predecessor of northwest university of politics and law);

Four departments: Peking University Law Department (predecessor of Peking University Law School), Renmin University of China Law Department (predecessor of Renmin University Law School), Wuhan University Law Department (predecessor of Wuhan University Law School) and Jilin University Law Department (predecessor of Jilin University Law School).
