An Interview with Xie Huaishi

Entrusted by Global Law Review and permitted by Mr Xie Huaishi, I was very fortunate to interview, in mid-June, China's greatest civil jurist of this generation. Professor Xie is in his 80s, yet he looks hale and hearty, and his mind is agile. His study was in his bedroom. At that time, Professor Xie was proofreading, like a hero with great aspirations, the Chinese translation of the General Section of the German Civil Code, written by Kal Larenz.
