Known as a significant expansion in both Chinese legal and literary studies, this book innovatively places legal matters in human existential situations for interpretation. Through intensive analysis and examination of classic literary works such as The New Year's Sacrifice (Zhufu), Indignation of Dou E (Dou’e Yuan), Robinson Crusoe and The Outsider, as well as calm reflection on Eastern and Western ethos, the author brings a collective understanding of family and reproduction, and their accompanying, complicated and enduring matters of law in front of readers, and thus offers a vivid portrayal of the cultural and meaning worlds that hold human beings.
