现代法治的精神在于自由,期望有现代的法治,须先有现代意识的人。当一般民众睡眼蒙胧,不知现代法治的真谛以及与申韩式法治的区别,指望法治能够实现于朝夕之间,指望自由能苟全于强权之下,无异于痴人说梦我的老朋友,清华大学法学院教授张建伟将出版文集《法律稻草人》,嘱我作序,我虽然是法律的门外汉,但还是慨然允诺。 The spirit of the modern rule of law lies in freedom, the expectation of a modern rule of law, and the need to first have a sense of modernity. I do not know the true meaning of the modern rule of law and the difference between it and the application of the rule of law in South Korea. I hope that the rule of law can be realized between the day and night, and hope that the freedom can be grasped under the power. I am an old friend of Tsinghua University Law School Professor Zhang Jianwei will publish a collection of “law scarecrow”, told me to preface, although I am a layman of the law, but still generous promises.
