Wang Lijun looked like a man who has endless power before he was caught. He had the power to file any cases, and drop any cases. Furthermore, he could illegally monitor anyone, and let anyone go as well. Is this an extreme case or a typical case? Wang used to be a “hero” in Chongqing, but no one can imagine his true nature. If he had not sought to defect, it would seem like no power could disclose the truth. This is the point that we need to think on profoundly.

@过河新兵：Therefore, it is not enough to restrain society and officials through appealing to the good part of human nature. A scientific system and management mechanism are necessary. 


@橙ellen：The most terrible thing is we uncovered the truth due to an accidental case instead of by following the system.


@田建平_Dream：No system will work without any rule of law, therefore, the age of being led by heroes should be ended.
