5月22日，十三届全国人大三次会议首场“代表通道”开启。全国人大代表、广东省律师协会会长肖胜方亮相本次“代表通道”，就民法典立法的相关问题接受了采访。

"An era with civil code is coming, and I believe having it will contribute to fully protecting our people's personal rights, including those related to property, contracts, inheritance and marriage and family, and our economic and social developments as well as our lives will also have stronger legal support," Xiao Shengfang, a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress from Guangdong province, said.

来自广东省的十三届全国人大代表肖胜方说：“民法典时代即将到来，我相信，民法典的颁布将有助于全面保护人民的个人权利，包括物权、合同、继承、婚姻家庭等权利，使我们的经济社会发展和生活得到更有力的法律保障。”

"Last year, an old person died after being injured by a brick from a tall building in Anhui province," he recalled when sharing the case with media. "Finally, 133 people living in the building and the building management company were asked to pay more than 500,000 yuan in compensation to the old person's family members, because we cannot figure out where the brick came from."

肖胜方和媒体记者分享了一个案例：“去年，安徽省一位老年人被高空坠落的砖头砸中身亡，找不到肇事者，家属将二楼以上133位业主和物业都告到法院，要求赔偿50多万元。”

"The payment sounded unfair to some defendants, as they didn't think they should pay for what they hadn't done," he said. "I'm glad to see the draft has paid attention to the issue."

“对一些被告来说，这笔赔偿听起来不公平，因为他们认为不应该为自己没有做过的事情付出代价。我很高兴看到草案已经注意到了这个问题。”
