北京曾经发生过一个震惊全国的案件，被迫杀人案犯崔英杰案，他是河北的一个退伍军人，那年夏天他在北京海龙大厦摆地摊，卖小饰品和儿童玩具，这个海龙大厦就在繁华的中关村北京大学旁边。

那一天，海淀区城管大队去执法，城管大队的副队长李志强同志严格执法，要把崔英杰的违法工具手推车和地摊货全部没收。26岁的崔英杰给这个城管大队长跪下了，说求着说，这是我的全部家当。你放我一马吧，我这就回家，再不就犯。

但是大队长严肃执法，绝不姑息迁就，于是崔英杰被激怒了，拿出切香肠的小刀，朝李志强腹部就戳去……

李志强后来就死了，那春英十天之后投案自首。那这个案件是中国第一例。

于是父亲给崔英杰请了夏霖律师为崔英杰的辩护词中有许多感人的话

- “贩夫走卒，引车卖浆是古已有之的正当职业。我的当事人，被生活所迫，在这么大城市从事这样一份卑微贫贱的工作，谋生养家糊口，收入微薄，但他始终善良淳朴。无论这个社会怎样漠视或伤害他，他从来没有偷盗，没有抢劫，没有以妨碍他人的方式生存。”

- “在法庭上我要庄严地问各位法官、检察官：当一个人赖以谋生的饭碗被打碎，被逼上走投无路的绝境，将心比心，你们会不会比我的当事人更加冷静和忍耐？”

- “我们的当下的法律，我们的城市管理制度，究竟要使我们的公民更幸福，还是使他们更窘困？

我们作为法律人的使命，是要让这个社会更和谐，还是使它更惨烈？我们已经失去了李志强，我们是否还要失去崔英杰？”

最后法官采纳了夏霖律师的大部分辩护意见，判崔英杰保住了性命，将在2030年4月刑满释放。

夏霖律师的辩护词也被载入司法教科书史册。

Peddlers and hawkers, those who pull carts and sell beverages, have been engaged in legitimate occupations since ancient times. My client, driven by the hardships of life, has been engaged in such a humble and lowly job in this huge city, making a living to support his family. His income is meager, but he has always been kind and simple. No matter how indifferently this society treats him, he has never stolen, never robbed, and has not survived in a way that hinders others.

I solemnly pose this question to all the judges and prosecutors in this courtroom: When a person's means of making a living is shattered and he is driven to a desperate situation, putting yourselves in his shoes, would you be calmer and more patient than my client?

My client, Cui Yingjie, has always been a filial son and a law-abiding citizen. He was an excellent soldier in the army, and he and his comrades have been silently contributing to the peace of our country.

When he took off his military uniform and left the barracks, even though he wasn't provided with an arranged job, he didn't complain about the injustice the society had done to him.

In this country, there are no less than a million demobilized soldiers like Cui Yingjie who are quietly trying to make a living. They are also paying attention to Cui Yingjie's fate and the outcome of this case.

Our laws and our urban management system—do they aim to make our citizens happier or make their lives more difficult? As legal professionals, is our mission to make this society more harmonious or make it more tragic? We have already lost Li Zhiqiang. Do we really have to lose Cui Yingjie as well?
