Features: This book collects thirteen articles written by the author as a Fulbright visiting scholar in the United States and two articles written after returning to China. The common feature of these articles is the study of civil code compilation—the former focuses on the compilation of the Chinese Civil Code, while the latter studies the civil code compilation of foreign countries. The former emerged during the "Civil Code Fever" from autumn 2002 to spring 2003 on the internet, with almost all titles containing the word "seriously," hence the name of this book. They respectively address issues such as the fundamental style and model selection for drafting the Civil Code of China, the relationship between the future Civil Code and ecologism, customary law, and economic life, as well as the reasonable organization of the Civil Code drafting process. They are all filled with a sense of debate and internet-style humor.
