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 effect and/or world:
“An actor must communicate his author’s given message—comedy, tragedy, serio- comedy; then comes his unique moment, as he is confronted by the looked-for, yet at times unexpected, reaction of the audience. This split second is his; he is in command of his medium; the effect vanishes into thin air; but that moment has a power all its own and, like power in any form, is stimulating and alluring.”
—Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)
“Innocence always calls mutely for protection, when we would be much wiser to guard ourselves against it ... innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world meaning no harm.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
