Suddenly, the singing began.

"It's a bright and sunny morning! The sound of pigeons whistling accompanies the reveille!"

Li Changzhou was so startled that his phone thrashed wildly in his hand like a live fish.

The whole class looked over, and "When That Day Comes" was still being sung.

"But the world is not peaceful!! Even in times of peace, there are turbulent events!!"

"Are you ready, brothers in arms?"

After grabbing the phone, Li Changzhou quickly closed the browser.

The classroom was silent for three seconds, then burst into laughter.

It wasn't just because of the song, but also because Li Changzhou had half a fried dumpling in his mouth.

Li Qianxia's roommate was whispering something to her with a laugh, while Li Qianxia watched her brother make a fool of himself with a grin.

“Eating breakfast and listening to military songs are good things,” the criminal law professor said with a smile. “But you also need to learn to get up early.”

Li Changzhou quickly finished the fried dumplings, stood up and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I overslept this morning."

"It's alright, are you full?"

"I'm full."

"Now that you've eaten, tell me your views on the principle of legality in criminal law."

"Power corrupts. The essence of the principle of legality in criminal law is to limit the state's power to punish. The Legalist book Shenzi records, 'Judging matters by law is the great way of the state.' Teacher, this is my current understanding of the principle of legality in criminal law."

"Well said. Sit down, and I won't deduct your participation points."

"Classmates, is it in accordance with the principle of legality in criminal law that I am not deducting his participation points?"

"It doesn't fit!" The boy, who was usually quiet in class, shouted the loudest at this moment.

"Yes! Li was eating in class. According to the school's rules, he should have his participation points deducted. But if we don't follow the principle of legality in criminal law, I can choose not to deduct his points. What does not deducting his points mean? It means that I can deduct points from anyone without any reason. Unrestrained penal power is more terrifying than murder!"

I wonder if, in the future, those of us working in the legal field will recall Li Changzhou's embarrassing moment today when we think of the principle of legality in criminal law.

The walls of the law school building were covered with ivy, its emerald green leaves swaying gently in the morning breeze. Li Changzhou glanced at his teacher, then lowered his head to continue secretly drinking his soy milk.
