Yao Donggui, Vicky (Oriel, 2006 - )
My name is Donggui Yao (Vicky Yao)
and my fascinating hometown is Fuzhou, a beautiful coastal city lying
beside the Taiwan Strait, in Fujian Province, P.R.China. I entered
China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL) in the year of
2002, and was selected as the 2006 Paterson Scholar by The David and
Jayne Paterson Education Trust upon my graduation, to read for a B.A.
in Legal Jurisprudence at Oriel School, in the University of Oxford.
Harbor my motherland
Born in a country with five thousand
years' glorious history, I have always harbored the deepest affection
for my dear motherland and constantly take pride in her diversified
culture that second to none. However, as a transitional country, the
idea of rule of law has never really taken root in the minds of Chinese
people, constituting a sharp contrast with western countries. As we
know, the protection from law is critical to every citizen in this
nation, and rule of law can help achieve the social values such as
equality, justice and order treasured by the whole human kind. As
a girl brought up in the prosperous coastal city of eastern China,
I have strongly sensed the urgent need of legal protection in the
current background of the day by day economic booming in China, for
the interests of both individuals and enterprises. The pursuit of
law is essential for a modern country because of its alluring potential
to benefit so many, to promote the welfare of the community and to
provide equal opportunity for every individual. And that is the very
reason I choose the major of law for four years in the prestigious
legal educational establishment, China University of Political Science
and Law (CUPL), to pursue the ultimate goal shared by people all over
the world !
View the whole world
Great Britain is a country with a
fine common law tradition, and Oxford University is famous for its
first-rate legal education. The unique tutorial system, which is the
very essence of legal education in Oxford, will give us intensive
training in the art of argument. The affluent academic resources both
online and in the library, will undoubtedly give us an edge for the
hard work in the vast ocean of legal knowledge. And the lectures of
world renowned legal scholars will instill in us the true meaning
of law. As the most highly regarded undergraduate law degree in the
UK, the BA degree in law will fully qualify us as lawyers in the basic
skills such as independent research, analytical ability and legal
argument, which is invaluable both inside and outside the field of
law. Being blessed with the golden opportunity to further my legal
education in such an un-matched environment, the only thing that I
can do is: to try my best and to achieve the most!
I have a dream
Where there is a will, there is a way!
With the generous financial support from the David and Jayne Paterson
Educational Trust today, I sincerely hope that one day I can learn
from the insightful deeds of the Trust and make my own contribution
to the welfare of my country, the People's Republic of China!
