| Lei jingtian joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1925. He participated in the Nanchang Uprising, and was one of the founders of Youjiang Revolutionary Base in Guangxi Province. He experienced the Long March, and had a revolutionary seniority. He had served as the President of the High Court of the Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region for six years, and had a major impact on the judicial development of the Border Area.The judicial thoughts of Lei Jingtian are a concentrated reflection of China's new democratic revolutionary judicial thoughts. “The tradition of politics and law” of the Soviet justice, the reform thoughts of the regularization of justice in the Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region from 1942 to 1943, and the Chinese-style trend of Marxist theory are the main sources of his thoughts. In 1940, he proposed two important concepts, that is, the new democratic justice, and the new democratic justice system. In his view, the new democratic justice should serve the politics and protect the interests of all classes of people fighting against Japanese. The new democratic justice should also have three characteristics of equality, unity and democracy. Around his new democratic concept of justice, Lei Jingtian put forward series of viewpoints, including applying the principle of democratic centralism thoroughly in the judicial organizations, integrating of the worker and peasant cadres with the intellectual cadres in the judge team, maintaining appropriate separation between the political standpoint and the judicial practice in invoking the Complete Volume of Six Chinese Laws, and persevering judicial democracy and increasing its convenience in judicial procedures. The revolutionary way of thinking and the empirical way of thinking are the two features of his thoughts, which are the product of the integrated influence of historical background and his subjective experiences. |
