Features: This book is a popular reading on personal rights. It covers basic legal knowledge relevant to the daily lives of citizens. Behind rights lies the rule of law; behind the rule of law lies humanity's arduous exploration of fairness and justice. Fully recognizing the aimlessness and unpredictability of life and history, and the helplessness and destiny of finite lives in infinite time and space, we still demand the sacred dignity of being human and the proud rights of being a citizen. Although the pursuit of rights may be painful, we must "dance joyfully on the dust of pain"; although the outcome of rights may be illusory, we must persistently strive to defend them. If we care about life, we should care about the law; if we care about ourselves, we should care about our rights. The law is neither a luxury for legal scholars nor the exclusive domain of legal professionals; we all have the right to learn and apply the law. Behind rights lies the rule of law; behind the rule of law lies humanity's arduous exploration of fairness and justice, a firm belief that humanity does not succumb to self-destruction and annihilation due to its own insignificance and fragility, but instead strives for prosperity and progress.
