Taking the Draft Amendment to the Civil Procedure Law, which was submitted in October 2011 to the 23rd meeting of the Standing Committee of the Eleventh National People's Congress for deliberation, as the main text, this article carries out a comprehensive review and analysis of the background and thinking of the existing problems and disputed issues in the revision of the Civil Procedure Law. Through analysis, the author points out that this revision still shows a strong tendency of legal instrumentalism. In the future, the revision will be faced with a major change of direction—from the current result-oriented mode to a process-oriented mode—so as to make the revision of the Civil Procedure Law a process of realization of the subjectivity of parties to civil litigation. <<
