Dedicated to Pursuing Her Dream and Living Up to Her Youthful Days

On Huang Hongfang's path to growth, Hong Kong TV dramas have left an indelible mark on her memory and exerted a profound influence on her, which is still clearly discernible to this day. The image of the female lawyer portrayed in the dramas was not only proficient in legal provisions but also possessed wisdom and courage. The female lawyer's adherence to fairness and justice deeply touched Huang Hongfang and ignited her yearning and longing for the legal profession in the depths of her heart. In addition, during Huang Hongfang's junior high school years, her father was administratively detained for accidentally obstructing judicial justice while helping his cousin. This incident was like a constant alarm bell ringing in her heart, strengthening her determination to devote herself to the legal cause. She was determined to ensure that the people around her knew, understood, and could use the law, so as to be spared the hardships caused by ignorance.

Furthermore, Huang Hongfang is especially grateful to her family. Their consistent support and encouragement have become her strongest backing. It is precisely because of the help and support from all quarters that Huang Hongfang has been able to go further and further on the path of pursuing becoming an excellent lawyer with increasing determination. Since starting her practice, Huang Hongfang has mainly been dedicated to the field of marriage and family affairs. Her advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects: Firstly, she has a strong ability to empathize. When handling sensitive cases such as divorces, female lawyers are often more likely to gain the trust of female clients because "women understand women better" and can empathize with them more effectively. This empathic ability helps to more accurately understand the clients' needs and feelings, thereby providing more attentive and professional legal services. Secondly, she is patient and meticulous. Marriage and family affairs cases often involve complex family relationships and emotional entanglements, requiring lawyers to invest a great deal of time and energy in sorting out the case details and collecting evidence. As a female lawyer, Huang Hongfang is usually more patient and meticulous, enabling her to better handle these cumbersome tasks and ensure that every aspect of the case handling is perfect. Thirdly, she has strong professional capabilities. As a lawyer specializing in the field of marriage and family affairs, Huang Hongfang has a solid theoretical and professional foundation in this area. She is not only familiar with the cases she has represented but also has an in-depth knowledge of the latest marriage cases and relevant laws and regulations across the country. Fourthly, she has rich comprehensive knowledge. Marriage and family affairs cases not only involve legal issues but are often intertwined with emotional, psychological, and other issues. Therefore, in addition to professional knowledge, Huang Hongfang also possesses comprehensive knowledge in fields such as psychology and negotiation. During the case handling process, she can use this knowledge to provide emotional value for clients, seek negotiation opportunities, facilitate reconciliation, and at the same time safeguard the interests of the parties involved. Fifthly, she has rich experience. Her extensive case handling experience is one of her important advantages in dealing with marriage and family affairs cases. She can quickly identify the key points of dispute in a case, effectively, timely, and comprehensively sort out the case, and provide professional advice. This accumulation of experience enables her to handle various complex situations with ease. Sixthly, she attaches great importance to client relationship management. Huang Hongfang is well aware of the importance of client relationship management. Therefore, she always maintains close communication with clients during the case handling process, understands their needs and expectations, and adjusts strategies in a timely manner according to the progress of the case. This client-centered service concept has enabled Huang Hongfang to win the trust and praise of numerous clients.

Diligent and responsible, pursuing excellence

Lawyers are warriors on the front line of the law. This role positioning confines lawyers to practicing within the framework of existing laws, and undoubtedly, this framework has certain limitations. Regarding this, Huang Hongfang stated that as experts and agents in legal practice, lawyers play a crucial role in the judicial system. Lawyers are not only implementers within the legal framework but also interpreters and promoters of the legal spirit. Although lawyers' work is indeed restricted by the existing legal framework, it doesn't mean that their roles are limited to this. The following are some of Huang Hongfang's thoughts on the role of lawyers and its limitations: Firstly, in terms of legal interpretation and application, lawyers need to interpret legal provisions and apply them to specific case facts. During this process, lawyers may encounter situations where legal provisions are ambiguous or incomplete. At this time, lawyers' professional judgment and interpretation abilities become particularly important. Secondly, as advocates of legal reform, the problems encountered by lawyers in practice often reflect the deficiencies of the current laws. By participating in legislative consultations, submitting legal opinions, publishing academic papers, and other means, lawyers can become an important force in promoting legal reform. Thirdly, as guardians of social justice, lawyers have the responsibility to ensure the correct implementation of the law and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties involved. Especially for those vulnerable groups, lawyers are often the key for them to obtain fair treatment. Fourthly, as disseminators of legal education, lawyers popularize legal knowledge to the public through daily legal services, public lectures, and other activities, improving the public's legal awareness, which is of great significance for building a law-based society. Fifthly, as experts in conflict resolution, lawyers play an important role in both litigation and non-litigation dispute resolution. They help the parties resolve disputes through means such as settlement, mediation, and arbitration, maintaining social stability.

In conclusion, the role of lawyers goes far beyond practicing within the existing legal framework. Lawyers are active participants in and improvers of the legal system, playing an irreplaceable role in promoting the development and improvement of the law. At the same time, lawyers also need to continuously learn and adapt to changes in the law in order to better serve their clients and society. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The lawyer team is an important force in the rule of law in the country." The legal system is also constantly being improved. Standing at a new historical starting point, Huang Hongfang believes that the lawyer industry should start from the following aspects, actively fulfill its duties, and contribute to the construction of a law-based China. Firstly, adhere to the leadership of Party building. The lawyer industry should continue to strengthen Party building to ensure that the Party's guidelines, policies, and decision-making arrangements are implemented in lawyers' work. Through Party building activities, improve lawyers' political awareness and professional capabilities, give full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of Party member lawyers, and drive the healthy development of the entire industry. Secondly, provide professional legal services. Lawyers should rely on their professional knowledge and skills to provide high-quality legal services for economic and social development. For example, in the "legal health check" activities for private enterprises, provide free legal consultation, risk analysis and other services for enterprises to help them operate in accordance with the law and prevent legal risks. Thirdly, participate in the implementation of major national strategies. Lawyers should actively respond to major national strategies, such as the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and provide strong legal services and guarantees. Through cross-regional and cross-disciplinary service models, promote coordinated regional development and help national strategies take root. Fourthly, participate in legislation and government decision-making. Lawyers should actively participate in the legislative work and provide professional opinions and suggestions for scientific legislation. At the same time, play the role of advisors and assistants in major administrative decisions of the government, provide legal argumentation and services, and promote the construction of a law-based government.

Fifthly, fulfill social responsibilities and public welfare services. Lawyers should actively participate in social welfare activities, such as legal aid and epidemic prevention and control, to show the good image and social responsibility of the industry. Through public welfare activities, enhance the public's awareness and trust in the law, and strengthen the foundation for the construction of a law-based society.

Enthusiastic about public welfare and demonstrating a sense of responsibility

An excellent lawyer not only needs to possess solid professional knowledge and skills but also needs to have a heart dedicated to fighting for justice and a sense of public responsibility, being brave enough to take on responsibilities. Despite her busy schedule, Huang Hongfang is enthusiastic about public welfare. She actively responds to the call of the national system of "one legal advisor for each village and each community" and serves as the legal advisor for several residents' committees. Huang Hongfang was once invited by Radio 9.28 to interpret the Marriage Law for the public and was invited by the Zhuhai Committee of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang to give a special legal lecture on the Labor Contract Law at the "Park University" in Nanping Science and Technology Park. Over the years, she has interpreted laws for the public by giving a number of special lectures on legal knowledge, striving to achieve the goal of "everyone learns the law, everyone understands the law, and everyone abides by the law". During the COVID-19 pandemic, Huang Hongfang also donated 2,000 yuan to the Zhuhai New Social Strata Association. The donated funds were all used to purchase anti-pandemic supplies to support front-line workers. In September 2024, Lawyer Huang Hongfang received a special gift - a silk banner inscribed with "Legal Aid, Solving People's Worries; Dedicated and Responsible, a Model Lawyer". This silk banner was presented by Ms. Zhao to express her gratitude to Lawyer Huang. Ms. Zhao encountered unfair treatment at work and faced difficulties in striving for economic compensation. When she was in a helpless situation, she received legal aid assigned by the Zhuhai Federation of Trade Unions, and Lawyer Huang Hongfang became her legal aid lawyer. With her rich legal knowledge and years of practical experience, Lawyer Huang Hongfang quickly understood the details of the case, formulated a detailed legal strategy, and filed a labor arbitration. Throughout the process, Lawyer Huang Hongfang always adhered to the professional spirit of "solving people's worries and being dedicated and responsible". She not only helped Ms. Zhao obtain the deserved economic compensation but also provided her with psychological support and legal guidance. Moved by Lawyer Huang Hongfang's professional qualities and selfless dedication, Ms. Zhao specially made this silk banner to express her deep gratitude. This incident not only highlights Lawyer Huang Hongfang's professional ability and dedication but also reflects the law firm's consistent principle of "people-oriented and serving society". Huang Hongfang will continue to be committed to providing high-quality legal services to the general public and safeguarding social fairness and justice.

Huang Hongfang said that in the next three to five years, she will continue to delve deep into the research of marriage and family law and establish an efficient and professional legal team. Regarding the balance between work and life, Huang Hongfang said that, for example, she usually tries to spare one day on weekends to accompany her family. When she goes on business trips to other places, she takes her daughter and mother with her. During breaks from work, she takes them on trips, or they watch TV shows and movies together to relax. She has been following "Day and Night 2" recently. Huang Hongfang also keeps small goldfish in the office and has various cute items on her desk to relieve work pressure and fully relax both physically and mentally. She firmly believes that a fulfilling and healthy life can inject more vitality and motivation into work, enabling her to embrace new challenges.
