The presentation by Ms Su Chang was very impressive. She introduced the thoughts of a thinker in ancient China, Shang Yang (B.C. 390-B.C.338), which help the other participants to understand the age-old civilizations of China more profoundly and comprehensively. During the course of salon, participants were very active in raising questions which brought more exchanges among participants. The whole classroom was filled with heated atmosphere. It can be said that this salon bridged the understanding and communications among various legal cultures. （张建邦王江月李书建孙蕾）
