Can you imagine a society with law? Certainly not.<br />

Law has become the fundamental and one <strong>of</strong> the most important factors to<br />

guarantee our society inhabitable, stable, and possible to be cooperative and<br />

prosperous. The Law Panel <strong>of</strong> the 2-day ―Beijing Forum‖ is extraordinary popular,<br />

attracting world-top scholars in this field as well as people who showed great interest<br />

in this field.<br />

―Constitution‖, the basic <strong>of</strong> any law and regulation, drew great attention from the<br />

participants. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Wang Liming from Renmin <strong>University</strong> started the discussion<br />

on constitutionalism and constitutional issues, saying constitution in China should<br />

put more emphasis on protecting private property. Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Zhang Qianfan, from<br />

<strong>Peking</strong> <strong>University</strong> talked more about the conflicts between constitutional culture and<br />

confusions in east Asia, especially China. Other scholars‘ suggest constitution<br />

should be more practical and applicable while China is transferring into a civil<br />

society.<br />

The Panel not only covers some practical issues such as labor law, WTO rules,<br />

corruption, but also gives serious discussion on theoretical development <strong>of</strong> the<br />

civilization <strong>of</strong> law in a historical perspective.<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Ronald Brown from the Hawaii <strong>University</strong>, who was the chairman <strong>of</strong> the<br />

second session, said, ―The forum brought out many interest topics.‖<br />
