亮点1：胎儿享民事权可继承遗产

Article 16

Where the protection of the interests of an unborn child is involved in, among others, a succession or acceptance of a gift, the unborn child shall be deemed to have capacity for civil rights. However, in case of a stillborn, the unborn child's capacity for civil rights shall be deemed to have never existed.

亮点2：民事诉讼时效两年改为三年

第一百八十八条

向人民法院请求保护民事权利的诉讼时效期间为三年。法律另有规定的，依照其规定。

诉讼时效期间自权利人知道或者应当知道权利受到损害以及义务人之日起计算。法律另有规定的，依照其规定。但是自权利受到损害之日起超过二十年的，人民法院不予保护；有特殊情况的，人民法院可以根据权利人的申请决定延长。

Highlight 2: The limitation of action is changed from two years to three years

Article 188 

An action instituted in a people's court for protection of civil rights is prescribed by three years, except as otherwise prescribed by any law. 

The prescriptive period shall be calculated from the day when the obligee knows or should have known that his or her right has been infringed upon and who the obligor is, except as otherwise provided for by any law. The people's court shall not offer protection if 20 years have elapsed since the infringement; but under special circumstances, the people's court may decide to extend the prescriptive period upon application of the obligee.

亮点3：失能老人等建成年监护制度

第三十三条

具有完全民事行为能力的成年人，可以与其近亲属、其他愿意担任监护人的个人或者组织事先协商，以书面形式确定自己的监护人。协商确定的监护人在该成年人丧失或者部分丧失民事行为能力时，履行监护职责。

Highlight 3: The guardianship system is improved to protect the disabled elderly

Article 33 

An adult with full capacity for civil conduct may, by consulting in advance with his or her close relatives or other individuals or organizations willing to act as a guardian, determine his or her guardian in writing. When the adult loses all or part of capacity for civil conduct, the guardian determined by consultation shall perform the duty of guardianship of the adult.
