"The cunning rabbit has three points, how often is life!" 2023 year of the rabbit is a year of change. Under the double superposition effect of the basic national policy of common prosperity and the rapid increase of practicing lawyers, the pace of the de-elite of lawyers is accelerating. To welcome the year of Jiachen Dragon in the midst of treacherous clouds, we need to think more deeply about our mission, vision, values and cultural background in order to dispel confusion.

"Let light come from darkness, and let wisdom be a model." "Sheng" has the meaning of light and glory, "Dian" takes the words of a model, and the name of "Sheng Dian" rests on the ardent hope of becoming a dazzling model of the industry. In this case, "Sheng" is glorious, "Dian" takes the meaning of laws and regulations, the name of "Shengdian" carries the ambition of Guangyao Law, and "being the light of the rule of law" is the glorious mission of Shengdian Law Firm. Trickle into a river, accumulate a little, every Shengdian is a beam of light, the light of the rule of law!

The light of the code is converted by shining the law and helping the construction of the rule of law, and its method and path are attributed to "lawyers should safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, safeguard the correct implementation of the law, and safeguard social fairness and justice." To better safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties can be described as the primary task of lawyers. "Adhere to the leading law firm to safeguard the rights and interests of clients with exquisite professionalism" should be regarded as the vision of Shengdian. "Exquisite professional as a pearl, shining, is the industry's leading light." If the legitimate rights and interests of customers are the foundation of life, then exquisite professionalism is the foundation of safety and the pole of light, and leadership is the basic symbol of the industry model.

The adherence to the mission, the achievement of the vision, and the training of superb professional skills are all inseparable from the help and promotion of values. "Reason is a beacon, logic is a compass, and only by respecting reason can we cross the ocean of thinking and clarify the legal route." Rationality and logic are the keynote of human wisdom. Respect for rationality can ensure clear logic. "Respect for reason" can be the first value and the fundamental mechanism of professional excellence. "The law is not enough to protect the rights and interests of clients automatically. Lawyers need to use legal norms with wisdom and skills to take care of the explicit and potential rights and interests of clients and shine the efficacy of the law. This is the second value" Ming Law ". "Taking facts as the basis and law as the criterion" is the basic principle of law application and the methodology of "Ming Law", which can be attributed to the third value of "seeking truth", that is, to be sincere, to seek truth, and to gain true knowledge. It is the so-called, true, the heart can be righteous and sincere, can be the truth of the facts, can be known and the rules of the law. "Pragmatism is a solid shield for lawyers, using practical actions to dispel the fog of law." The practice of lawyers is not based on pedagogy but on pragmatism. They respect the truth, do practical things, seek practical results, and do solid work under the condition of respecting the objective reality in order to achieve the actual effect of "clear law" -- effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of clients. Therefore, "pragmatism" is the path of "clear law.

The shaping and sublimation of values cannot be separated from the edification and infection of the cultural atmosphere, or the mutual rendering of the two. "Honesty is the cornerstone of friendship, and honesty is the only way to establish cooperative relations." Take the truth as the body, then take honesty as the foundation, observe oneself sincerely, practice honestly, treat others sincerely, this is "sincerity". Shengdian's English name "SD & PARTNERS" originally means cooperation and partnership. It promotes internal and external cooperation, strengthens partnership with customers and colleagues, and seeks common ground while reserving differences. This is "cooperation". Equality is one of the core values of socialism. Everyone is equal before the system, approachable, normal mentality, and peaceful communication. This is the cultural base color of "peace. To create and maintain the basic color of "peace", we should take the construction and improvement of the system as the guarantee, and give priority to the system to serve people, not to control people by people.

In a situation of great changes unseen in a century and an industry volume unseen in a decade, we should, like great writers, draw a healthy and harmonious picture of the rule of law with mission and vision as the pen. Tagore said: "live as a beam of light, because you do not know who will take your light out of the darkness." Adhere to the correct values, jointly create a healthy and harmonious cultural atmosphere, with exquisite professionalism as the heat and light pole, every Shengdian can become a beam of light of the rule of law, warm themselves, illuminate partners, and then focus into blazing, and help the world!
