With this Essay, I want to convey my deepest appreciation and admiration of Floyd. I know that words cannot fully express how much his advice supported and advanced Chinese criminal procedure and criminal justice reform, and how much his mentorship meant to me, personally. And, my sincere intent is not only to honor Floyd, but also to conclude with the message to myself, and hopefully to others, that the void he left must be filled. I hope to encourage others to be as supportive of developing countries’ law reform, as well as of their scholars and students, as Floyd was.
