Features: Professor Li Haopei studied law at the School of Law of Dongwu University in Shanghai in his early years and later went to the London School of Economics in the UK to pursue law studies. Upon returning to China, he served as a professor and later as the Dean of the School of Law at Wuhan University and Zhejiang University. After the liberation of the nation, he held positions as a special consultant at the State Council Legal Affairs Commission, a researcher in international private law at the Institute of International Relations, and a professor teaching international private law at the Diplomatic Academy of International Studies. From the 1960s until 1993, when he joined the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, Netherlands, he served as a legal advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I have known Professor Li Haopei for over forty years and have worked with him for twenty years. Through my interactions and collaboration with Professor Li Haopei, I have deeply felt his profound knowledge and profound expertise in law as a senior scholar in the contemporary Chinese legal field, as well as his high reputation. Anyone who has met Professor Li Haopei would agree that in the field of law, he is like a living legal dictionary and textbook. As a law professor, he has trained and nurtured a large number of legal professionals in China throughout his life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his students are numerous. Professor Li Haopei's legal knowledge spans multiple fields, such as civil law, criminal law, comparative law, public international law, and private international law, with particular fame in private international law. Professor Li Haopei has a rigorous academic style and a scientific attitude. He diligently and solidly pursues knowledge, emphasizing and demonstrating meticulousness and logical rigor. During his tenure at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he participated in handling a large number of major foreign-related legal cases, contributing to the achievements of China's foreign policy. Based on his understanding of China's policies and case details, he realistically put forward his own legal views, reflecting his scholarly attitude and rigorous style that avoids opportunism, flattery, empty rhetoric, seeking popularity, or compromising. His spirit of learning and work ethic are worth learning from. This collection was compiled by Professor Li Haopei's daughter, Ling Yan, and contains approximately one million words.
