His Effect On The World
His vigilance against injustice and privileges has disclosed the dark side of the society and helped to draw attention to the poor so as to bring fairness to them, as in the case of "Wu Fang".
In addition, his open letter to Zhao Yong has drawn worldwide attention to the high-ranked officials putting pressure on the Chinese press. Not only has it promoted the reforms of the control over the press in China, but it has also demonstrated a good example of conscience against the government's stance. Maybe it is a good start for Chinese press to really represent the public opinion instead of just "transmit lies when it is under pressure from the senior and be the rubbish bin for the League central committee" according to Lu.
Lu has also brought a new concept in ruling a country to the world. Lu's writing shows that the world should not have "law" only, because "law" is a neutral thing that set by people. It can vary from different places, time, culture and people's desire. Therefore, Lu stresses that the society should have the "spirit of the law" instead of having "law" only. It means that moral principles should be involved.

Famous quotes containing the words the world, effect and/or world:
“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The rhetorician would deceive his neighbours,
The sentimentalist himself; while art
Is but a vision of reality.
What portion in the world can the artist have
Who has awakened from the common dream
But dissipation and despair?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
