Not a good fit for
- Readers with no legal background who want a light introductory book

Reading tips
- Read the table of contents first to clarify the relationships among the parts, then proceed in chapter order without skipping

- Mark the revised passages and focus on comparing the differences between old and new wording

About the author
Wei Zhenying is an author in the field of Chinese legal textbook writing. Publicly available personal information about him is limited: his birth year, native place, education, and professional positions are not clearly documented, so his academic career cannot be described in detail. Judging from the works held in the library, the fourth and fifth editions of Civil Law that he co-authored are civil law textbooks, commonly categorized under examinations and law, which indicates that his writing serves the practical needs of law courses and exam preparation. Textbooks of this kind usually follow the framework of current civil law institutions, proceeding from general principles to specific parts in a clear, standardized style that helps readers systematically grasp basic civil law concepts and rules. The coexistence of two editions also suggests that the book has been used repeatedly in teaching and has a certain continuity. Overall, Wei Zhenying's contribution lies mainly in compiling and organizing civil law textbooks, and his influence is reflected more through classroom teaching and exam reading than through specialized academic monographs.
