Remarks by the Guest of Honor

ZHI HENG

Lan Caiming, Member of the Zhiheng National Strategic Committee and Director of the Zhiheng Qianhai Management Committee

Director Lan Caiming’s speech was visionary and broad in scope, grounded in the current era of profound transformation within the legal services industry, and it offered an in-depth analysis of the opportunities and challenges confronting the sector. In the face of increasingly diversified, specialized, and globalized market demands, young lawyers should cultivate forward‑thinking strategic acumen and solid professional expertise. While deepening their practice in traditional areas, they should actively embrace emerging fields, boldly transcend conventional boundaries, and continuously broaden both the depth of their specialization and the scope of their services.

Meanwhile, Director Lan Caiming also encouraged young lawyers to always hold their ideals close to their hearts, remain steadfast in their convictions, face challenges without fear, and make the most of their youthful years. Having chosen the profession of law, one must dedicate oneself to it. Only through continuous learning, consistent practice, professional refinement, and the cultivation of personal integrity can one stand out in fierce competition.

Zhiheng will, as always, leverage its robust platform to help everyone rise higher and see farther, empowering you to realize your dreams and build a brighter future.

Yang Chunxue, Senior Equity Partner at Zhiheng Zhongshan

Attorney Yang Chunxue delivered a welcome address on behalf of Zhiheng Zhongshan, first extending a warm welcome to colleagues from across the Zhiheng network, and then provided a detailed overview of Zhiheng Zhongshan’s development journey and future plans. Attorney Yang Chunxue stated that hosting the Zhiheng National Young Lawyers’ Training Camp this time is not only an excellent opportunity to showcase the spirit and image of Zhiheng Zhongshan, but also a valuable chance to enhance internal communication and build consensus.

The legal profession is one that demands lifelong learning, and a lawyer’s professional foundation extends beyond the study of law. For young lawyers, sincerity carries more weight than any technique. It is my hope that, through this session of the Young Lawyers’ Training Camp, each participant will gain valuable insights through genuine communication and dedicated study, walk this path together, and look forward to a promising future.

She emphasized that the growth of young lawyers is pivotal to the future of the entire legal profession and to Zhiheng’s long-term development. The Zhiheng Youth Committee will remain committed to fostering the growth of young lawyers, leveraging the warmth of the Zhiheng family and the strength of its platform to support every young attorney.

I hope everyone will cherish this opportunity, engage in active communication, think proactively, and dare to break new ground, shining even more brightly on the Zhiheng platform and demonstrating the commitment of young lawyers in addressing the challenges of our times.
