About the author

Liu Xing, born in 1958, is a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Law, China University of Political Science and Law, and previously taught at Sun Yat-sen University Law School. He has long studied jurisprudence, legal history and the judicial system. His writing combines scholarship with readability: he offers a critical reading of twentieth-century Anglo-American jurisprudence, presents Chinese legal thought through stories and ideas, and explores legal practice through metaphor and historical cases. Beyond monographs on law, he has published essay collections such as the five-volume Shen Gui Qi Shou Ye Du Zhuang and has written columns on law for several newspapers and periodicals. Public information about him is limited, but the range of his subjects and the clarity of his prose are the main threads for understanding his work.
