Features: Since its inception in 1996, the "Legal Culture Research Center Series" has published ten works, including monographs, collections, and translations, covering topics such as legal theory, legal history, comparative law, legal sociology, and legal anthropology. The original "Editor's Note" outlined its purpose as "transforming private conversations into public discourse, achieving a minimum consensus through equal dialogue and debate, and building autonomous academic spaces and communities. Through serious and rigorous academic discussions and critiques, it seeks to establish new evaluation standards and mechanisms, explore pathways for the normalization and localization of legal research, and find possibilities for theoretical innovation." The "Legal Culture Research Series" will update the older editions, continue its mission, and remain committed to an academic stance of critique and reflection. It advocates for interdisciplinary legal research, delves into and understands China's social and legal realities, improves Chinese legal scholarship, and advances China's rule of law cause. This book is divided into two parts and eleven chapters, narrating Wu's life and thoughts along the threads of time and writings. Its focus is on exploring the process through which Wu sought to understand and bridge Chinese and Western cultures, examining how different cultures and dispositions influenced and reflected in his thinking, and how individuals, in the formation of their thoughts, drew resources and found appropriate expressions from diverse cultural backgrounds.
