严威

Yan Wei is a Chinese author whose writing spans legal popularization and applied computing. Public information about him is currently limited, and no clear record of his biography, profession, or educational background is available. Judging from the six works held in the collection, he has focused especially on law. He contributed to the "Ask the Law Encyclopedia" series, which uses a question-and-answer format to explain the rules and practical points of everyday legal issues such as marriage and family, adoption and inheritance, labor contracts, rural land contracting and expropriation, and homestead land. He is also the author of Citizen's Essential Legal Knowledge and has written on digital media asset management, a topic in applied computing. His writing is aimed at general readers and is problem-oriented, practical, and accessible, making it suitable as introductory reading for everyday reference.
