Editor’s Reflections
Liu Hong, Member of the Zhiheng National Strategy Committee, Deputy Director of the Zhiheng Headquarters Management Committee, and Director of the Corporate Legal Affairs Center.
As the chief editor of “Corporate Law Made Easy for Everyone,” Director Liu Hong reviewed the book’s development process—from its conceptualization in March 2024 to its official publication and launch in December 2024. Over this period, 56 contributors, while managing their day-to-day work, completed the writing of 100 practical case studies, conducted three rounds of review and editing, and meticulously refined the manuscript through every stage of production. The result is a testament to collective wisdom, aimed at dismantling the barriers of legal jargon and using plain language to help business leaders and readers alike grasp the essential principles and core concepts of corporate law.

Dean Liu Guiming defined “Corporate Law That Everyone Can Understand” with three key words: timely help, open course, and handy reference. The promulgation of the new Company Law has had a significant impact on corporate compliance and strategic decision-making, creating an urgent need for accessible and easy-to-understand interpretations. “Company Law That Everyone Can Understand” has come as a much-needed resource, bridging the gap between legal practice and public understanding.

Heartfelt words, deeply cherished in my heart.

Reporter’s reflections
Zhong Jingdong, head of the Shenzhen Operations Center of “The Era of Rule of Law”
Journalist Zhong Jingdong commented that “Corporate Law for Everyone” builds a bridge between the public and professional legal knowledge, transforming dry statutory provisions into vibrant social issues. It helps bring law back into the public discourse, blending the technical complexity of the new Company Law with its broader societal relevance through 100 questions and answers—thus offering a compassionate safeguard to all market entities in the era of the rule of law.
It is our sincere hope that this book will serve as a legal guide for entrepreneurs and a risk‑mitigation tool for investors, and that its publication will inspire the creation of more legal resources that bridge professional expertise with public understanding, together contributing vibrant chapters to China’s journey toward the rule of law. Sincere wishes are deeply encouraging.
