Features: The Supreme People's Court's "Interpretation of the Application of Laws in the Trial of Personal Injury Compensation Cases" has been published and is about to take effect. This is undoubtedly a major event in the field of civil law and in the judicial practice of civil law. It is a major event in the development of tort law in China and in the process of establishing the institutional protection of citizens' personal rights. It concerns the judicial protection of the right to life, the right to health, and the right to the body of the vast number of people, as well as the major issue of the development of China's legal system. Its significance cannot be overstated.
In modern social life, the scope of people's social activities is expanding, and the content of the various social activities they participate in is becoming increasingly complex and technologically advanced. This tremendous change has, on one hand, improved people's quality of life and raised their living standards. On the other hand, the vast and complex scope of social activities, along with the high level of technology, has brought people increasingly severe threats to their survival, health, and continuous physical harm. Today, it is common to hear people exclaim, "Why does the real world bring so many disasters and injuries?!" "Why is this society so unstable?!" This is the immense danger and frustration that social development and technological progress have brought to people's survival, health, and bodies.
How to coordinate and resolve the conflict between these two aspects is a major challenge and task facing civil law, especially tort law.
