After decades of attempts, China enacts its first Civil Code Jin Ping, a 98-year-old retired law professor of Southwest University of Political Science and Law in Chongqing in southwest China, is the last surviving expert to have participated in the first three attempts to draft a civil code in China. The three bids, in 1954, 1962 and 1979, didn’t succeed for various reasons, while the fourth undertaking, launched in 2001 with the participation of some of Jin’s students, also failed in its mission.
