Ma Xiwu's trial mode is a model of adjudication in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region,resulting from the joint forces of the border region's specific wartime environment,local environment,the border region's social transformation and judicial reform as well as many other factors.The spiritual essence of Ma's trial mode is embodied by its close ties with the masses and its consideration for the masses.Its universal value is justice for the people and justness of the justice.Since its formation,Ma's trail practice has played an important role in defusing various wartime social disputes and keeping social order and stability in the border region.It is necessary for us to reappraise it and carry it forward.We should inherit Ma's spirit,i.e,relying on the masses,suiting the people's convenience and seeking truth from facts,rather than its simple practices.
