Features: This book collects twenty-five of Wu Jingxiong's legal writings, broadly divided into three parts. Some of his correspondence with Justice Holmes and the renowned "Wu Constitution" are included as appendices, providing valuable insights into Wu's life and thoughts. Throughout the book, there are abstract interpretations of fundamental legal concepts and legal spirit, as well as comparative observations on specific legal systems. The author's expertise lies in evaluating figures and tracing the lineage of ideas. Whether exploring civil legislation and constitutional approaches or delving into the meaning of law and expressing personal reflections, every piece integrates life and human nature, interweaving legal intent with legal systems in poetic prose. Thus, the author not only presents a sample of an intellectual case but also records the winding history of Chinese legal studies in the 20th century. This book is suitable for legal scholars and law students, as well as for individuals from other disciplines who are interested in law.
