Women’s Day

Today, Guangzhou saw the long-lost sunlight. On this bright spring day, the women of Longan Guangzhou shine brightly. They are empathetic and strive to help women who suffer from domestic violence. They change careers in middle age, learning new knowledge to control their own lives. They live with love, balancing work and family. For decades, they have pursued a hobby, for “self-joy” and “self-improvement”…

When we support other women, we also build better foundations for the future world.

I still remember in 2015, probably around March, I handled a case of a woman who was beaten by her husband. Due to family matters, the man and woman had a conflict, and suddenly he cut her left wrist with a knife. After being evaluated by the public security authorities, it was considered minor injury. The man was also placed under administrative detention. That night, the woman left the shared residence and asked us to make requests with the man regarding divorce and compensation for mental distress.

After accepting the case, we obtained evidence from the public security authorities regarding the man’s administrative detention (including police records, interview transcripts, witness testimony, etc.) and submitted medical records to prove that the man had beaten the woman more than once. In the first trial, the man denied having beaten the woman before, and believed that the administrative detention was just a mutual fight between the two, not evidence of domestic violence. The man was very aggressive and emotional in court. Our client was very afraid of further retaliation from the man after the trial. After the trial, we still asked the bailiff for help to ensure that the man and his family left before we could leave.

Now, looking back, it’s a little scary. Fortunately, the court later recognized the fact of the man’s domestic violence and supported the woman’s request for compensation for mental distress, which made us feel that everything was worth it.

In my 12 years of practice, I have handled many cases. Maybe because I am a woman too, when women seek my help due to family issues, I can feel empathy and be more willing to stand in the women’s perspective to protect their interests. Just like the popular saying these years: girls help girls!

Her strength – to be oneself, to become one’s own light

At the crossroads of my 35th year, I made a decision: to quit my job as a legal officer in a large company and become a female lawyer. There is no complicated reason for this decision; I just want to be myself.

I started running again after ten years, and I keep going to bed early and get up early every day. Starting from small things, I began to change myself. But it’s not to please others, but to become that unique light within me.

From being a legal officer to becoming a lawyer, the change in role requires me to study the compliance requirements in industries like gaming, short videos, and AIGC from both perspectives. From compliance in traditional internet companies to data compliance and compliance for international expansion, I started from scratch, discovered market demand, designed service products, and finally turned them into actual services. In two years, it’s not about making a lot of money, but I’m very happy. At middle age, I can still earn a living by learning new knowledge. This sense of control over my own destiny, not relying on platforms, is really great.

Shi Tiesheng once said, “In the quiet light of the garden, it’s easier for a person to see time and see themselves.”

For me, “her strength” means feeling life in peaceful times, experiencing change, and using different experiences and skills to create value. In this process, I discovered my true strength and became my own light in life.

I’ve seen how a seed grows and how a flower blooms. But when I really carry a baby for ten months, and watch her grow step by step, I can’t help but feel the wonder of life.

Spring

Every day when I get home from work, I hug her, play with her, watch her laugh. Even just seeing her sleep peacefully makes all the fatigue go away. My heart is filled with strength, and I have confidence in handling any difficult case. Maybe this is the super healing power of human infants.

Lawyer Feng Qiulan

Female lawyers may seem like a difficult profession. But it’s certain that every female lawyer works hard and diligently in the legal field, either by studying cases or fighting for justice for vulnerable groups. They show the meticulousness and detail-obsession of women, contributing to the construction of a rule-of-law society. Every woman plays an important role in both work and family life, showing unique charm.

Another Women’s Day is approaching. Let’s share “her” strength. This time, I’ll share a sport – running! If you persist, you’ll gain a lot. Not only physical health and energy, but also a sense of perseverance and quiet wonder. I really started running in the past year. I’ve experienced the joy of sweating in hot weather and the coldness of wind in cold weather. But the feeling after running is the same. During running, I have three feelings:

Know oneself – At the beginning, I got to know myself and ran casually;

Improve oneself – Sometimes I surpassed myself and tried long-distance running;

Enjoy oneself – I make running enjoyable for myself, both physically and mentally.

I remind myself not to give up my love and dedication to life. With a rich heart and steady steps, I’m strong in silence. I pursue beauty that combines softness and strength, and become the most shining version of myself.

I sincerely wish all women a happy holiday and a happy family!

Lawyer Zhu Wenjing

When I was about 10 years old, my parents enrolled me in a local youth center, allowing me to learn dance and develop my temperament during my free time. As an adult, I still keep dancing as a hobby. For me, dancing is a way to talk to my body and release emotions. As women, we often have to deal with many daily trivialities. Therefore, it’s necessary to carefully perceive our body and emotions and adjust accordingly. It’s great to keep any hobby. Don’t be afraid of age, try it boldly!
