Understanding the law does not require you to study tedious legal clauses or hire expensive lawyers. As long as you read this book carefully, you will understand the basic laws of life.
The of the common people I think, besides lawyers, no one else enjoys going to court. Those cumbersome legal clauses and the solemn yet oppressive courtroom are enough to make the general public step back. If we could solve problems fairly and reasonably, no one would be willing to enter the courtroom. But things don’t always go as planned, and there are times when we are inevitably drawn into it.
The purpose of writing this book seems contradictory—to encourage people to avoid the courtroom as much as possible, yet also to encourage them to bravely enter it. Yet, these two goals share the same premise—understanding the law. Only by understanding the law can we avoid unintentionally breaking it; only by understanding the law can we learn to defend our rights with it! It is a tragedy to break the law out of ignorance. Due to ignorance, throwing a stone casually can result in life imprisonment; due to ignorance, a newly built house must be demolished voluntarily; due to ignorance, demanding one’s labor compensation can land one in jail—of course, only because they made inappropriate actions at the wrong time and place. But all these losses could have been avoided if you understood the law!
As long as you understand the law, when your rights are infringed upon by others, you will think of it in time. With it, you will become righteous and fearless. With it as your support, you will have the entire nation behind you.
I saw a news photo of an elderly man in court. The stubborn old man stood under the national emblem, looking unafraid of anyone, even the "almighty." Why was he not afraid? Because he understood the law! Even though he couldn’t read or write, he took his case to the intermediate court and overturned the town government. How could he win? Because he understood the law! Understanding the law is not related to education. More and more farmers are entering the court to claim their rights, while overseas scholars commit crimes condemned by the public. To become a just and respected person, we must understand the law. Understanding the law can bring us many practical benefits. Understanding the law does not require you to study tedious legal clauses or hire expensive lawyers. As long as you read this book carefully, you will understand the basic laws of life.
Of course, if you are interested in reading those massive legal texts, that is also commendable. This book selects 120 real-life cases that we often encounter in life. Through in-depth and simple explanations, it ensures that readers can understand at a glance, turning "legal illiterates" into knowledgeable individuals in no time. If this book can make the general public no longer fear the courtroom, that would be our greatest achievement. Because, the courtroom is indeed the of the common people! Under the national emblem, every citizen is equal!
