Attorney Yang Chunyan used “legal age” as a starting point to analyze the age stages of persons with no civil capacity, persons with limited civil capacity, and persons with full civil capacity, thereby enabling students to understand the civil and criminal responsibilities that minors are required to bear.
Focusing on the key revisions and highlights of the "Law on the Protection of Minors" and the "Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency," this session uses real-life cases to explain the law, highlighting eight major features of the Law on the Protection of Minors: refining the guardians’ responsibilities in caring for and protecting “left-behind children”; establishing a clear basic system for preventing and addressing campus bullying; building and improving systems related to the prevention and handling of sexual assault cases; requiring lodging operators—such as hostels, guesthouses, and hotels—to conduct inquiries and submit reports; strengthening the cybersecurity “firewall” and intensifying supervision to prevent addiction; and achieving full coverage of juvenile protection throughout the judicial process. Additionally, the Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency no longer uses the term “custodial education,” instead clearly stipulating that the state will strengthen the construction of specialized schools, define clear standards for identifying harmful behaviors and serious harmful behaviors, and establish a comprehensive system for preventing and controlling student bullying. These highlights enable students to directly experience that the law not only protects “youth” but also sets inviolable red lines for them under the law.
During the lecture, lawyer Yang Chunyan showed educational animated videos titled “School Bullying” and “Braving the Valley of Youth,” enabling students to gain a deeper understanding of the harm caused by school bullying. At the same time, students learned how to respond if they were ever subjected to school bullying. Through vivid and engaging videos, students also gained insight into how current laws truly protect young people.
This legal lecture, combined with real-life examples of juvenile protection and criminal cases, focuses on practical, everyday situations to carry out targeted publicity on the legal protection of minors, thereby effectively enhancing its impact, appeal, and persuasiveness. It helps students recognize that the “Law on the Protection of Minors” provides a robust protective umbrella for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of minors, while the “Law on the Prevention of Juvenile Delinquency” builds a strong legal barrier against juveniles going astray. By harnessing the power of the rule of law, these laws ensure the healthy growth of young people and significantly enhance students’ awareness and understanding of the legal system.
