Judicial staffs of courts at various levels in China were inspired by the speech made ata grand gathering in Beijing to celebrate the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up on Dec 18, at which China's success over the past 40 years was summed up and major future tasks were described.

As an important component of political reform, judicial reform had been a focus of China's courts in the past 40 years.

Yan Maokun, chair of the Supreme People's Court's (SPC) Trial Supervision Tribunal, said it is the courts' duty to maintain fairness and justice to let the people feel fairness and justice in each judicial case.

According to Yan, a total of 47 unjust, false and erroneous cases, involving 95 people, had been rectified since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in 2012.

He added that courts are judicial organs to resolve disputes and must continue to be devoted to maintaining justice.

A staff member at the Second Circuit Court, Luo Dian, said the SPC's six circuit courts are the pioneer and test field of the judicial reform and he expressed his determination to serve the people by dealing with disputes efficiently.

Innovation was referred to as a key to reform and opening-up at the event.

Xiaogang village in Fengyang county, Anhui province is the birth place of China's rural reform. Yang Chunquan of the Xiaogang People's Court said the court would continue to promote the innovative spirit and adopt innovations in judicial assistance to handle cases and disputes and strengthen judicial support of rural reform and revitalization.

Guangdong province is one of the pioneer regions implementing reform and opening-up. Wu Xiang, president of the Nansha People's Court of the Guangdong Free Trade Pilot Zone, said the court will deepen legal service to the free trade zone and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Zhejiang province was one of the first regions to implement the policy. Hangzhou, capital city of the province, launched world's first Internet Court. Guo Tong, a judge at the court, expressed his determination to stick to reform and innovation and let people feel fairness and justice in each judicial case.

Some judicial staffs also shared changes they witnessed for the past 40 years.

Liu Yun, chair of the Civil Tribunal at the Hongyuan People's Court, Sichuan province, said she started to work in the court in 1988 when they needed to inspect villages on foot and sometimes they had to borrow horses from the local residents to inspect remote areas. Now, the various kinds of high-tech devices and programs used in trials have brought great convenience to the judges.

Judicial staffs have showed their determination to be devoted to China's judicial reform and will fight for the goal of letting the people feel fairness and justice in each case and contribute to the achievement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
