Change made me I realize how much I love my job

Cheng Na, 34, served as a judge for nine years before being reclassified as a judicial officer in the first round of selection for judges. In the second round, she was appointed as a judge specializing in administrative cases at Beijing No 4 Intermediate People's Court.

In 2014, when I heard that the judicial reform would limit the number of judges, I realized that I might not be selected, despite having served as a judge for nine years.

I have always agreed with the aim of the reform, which is to make judges more professional, and improve the quality of case hearings. However, I was still upset and anxious when I was not chosen in the first round of selections.
