　　"Fairness and justice are the expectations of the people, the soul and life of justice, and the lofty value pursued by the Communist Party of China." Zhou Shuqin, representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, member of the Party Group of the People's Court of Guixi City, Jiangxi Province, and President of the Sili Court In interviews with Xinwang reporters, "fairness and justice" were mentioned many times.

　　The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to accelerate the construction of a fair, efficient and authoritative socialist judicial system, and strive to make the people feel fair and just in every judicial case.

　　Many representatives of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China who work in the judicial system believe that, as the judicial adjudication institution with the closest connection with the people, the grassroots courts handle the most cases and have the richest judicial practice. The forefront of fairness and justice.

　　Zhou Shuqin has been working in the grassroots court for 18 years, and most of her daily contacts are small lawsuits among parents. Over the years, her biggest feeling is that handling a case should not simply end with the conclusion of the case, but should start with friendship and listen to the joy of the parties. Anger, sorrow and joy, find out the "heart knot", and solve problems.

　　"People can protect their legitimate rights and interests and effectively resolve conflicts and disputes through lawsuits. Then the people will believe in the judiciary, and the judiciary will have credibility and warmth." Zhou Shuqin said.

　　In order to demonstrate the temperature of justice at the grassroots level, in September this year, in Huating Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People's Court set up the "Judge Qiao Studio Grassroots Service Point" for the first time in the countryside. The "Judge Qiao" here is the second Qiao Beihua, the top ten representative and deputy chief of the case filing division of the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People's Court.

　　As a judge with nearly 30 years of judgement and handling more than 5,000 civil disputes, Beihua Qiao knows that life is not simply black and white, right and wrong.

"The court assumes the important responsibility of resolving disputes, and participating in the governance of the source of litigation is the right thing to do. It is necessary to put the non-litigation dispute resolution mechanism in the front, and promote more legal forces to guide and divert."

　　In order to integrate into the social grassroots governance, since the establishment of the "Judge Qiao Studio" of the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate Court, it has moved forward the work of preventing the source of conflicts and resolving disputes by entering the "park", "campus", and "community".

　　"Where people's needs extend, judicial services will follow up." Qiao Beihua said.

　　To make the judiciary warm, we must not only be good at making the most of the situation, but also be good at adapting to local conditions.

　　For Chen Meirong, a representative of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and president of the Administrative Division of the Dawukou District People's Court in Shizuishan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, ethnic habits are one of the issues she needs to face when dealing with disputes.

　　"National customs have the rationality and inevitability of their existence and continued use, but some customs are inconsistent with the modern spirit of the rule of law, and some are not suitable for the needs of the development of the market economy."

　　Chen Meirong said that in the process of handling disputes, local ethnic customs must be fully respected, and attention should be paid to the effective combination of ethnic customs and national laws in judicial practice.

　　Making the judiciary stronger and warmer, and diversifying social contradictions on the front line is also promoting grass-roots social governance with the power of the rule of law.

　　The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposes to comprehensively promote scientific legislation, strict law enforcement, impartial justice, and law-abiding by all people, and comprehensively promote the rule of law in all aspects of the country's work.

　　Chen Meirong said that at the grass-roots level, through innovative judicial measures for the people, we must solve the "urgent, difficult and worrying" problems that the masses care about, and extend legal services to "the end of the grassroots."
