On the Priority of Close Relatives in Article 726 of the Civil Code of China
Abstract
The Civil Code has opened a new era of Chinese civil law, which stipulates the rights and obligations of civil subjects in all aspects of social life. Article 726 of the Civil Code sets up the legal right of the next of kin to purchase a house in preference to the lessee. This special provision has a profound cultural basis and value consideration, showing that civil law is moving toward a future that returns to a certain identity and membership.References
