  Han Fei Summary
Han Fei was particularly alarmed by the increasingly aggressive posture of Ch'in, and he sent a series of memorials to the Han ruler, enjoining him to strengthen the army, reform the laws, and dismiss incompetent and corrupt officials to counteract the Ch'in threat.
Han Fei is known as much for his lucid writing and persuasive style of argumentation as for his philosophy itself, and his writings are full of some of early China's most engaging and illustrative stories and analogies.
Han Fei was also loosely associated with the Huang-Lao tradition, and he was influenced by the book of Laozi (Dao de jing), from which he and his predecessors borrowed the term nonaction (wuwei) to describe the stance of the ideal ruler.

 Ethics of Legalism, Qin Empire and Han Dynasty by Sanderson Beck
So Han Fei sent a written memorial in which he acknowledged the perpendicular alliance formed from a north-south line of countries against the western power of Qin; but he argued that they were weak and likely to run away in a confrontation, because they have no faith in rewards and punishments.
Han Fei declared that if his advice was followed and Qin did not gain hegemony, then the king could behead him as a warning to others.
Han Fei, unable to communicate with the king, drank it and died in 233 BC.

 The Legalists
Han Fei Zi (again, the Zi was a respectful way of addressing Han Fei, an eminent scholar by all standards) (d.233 B.C.), like Shang Yang ahead of him, served the state of Qin before its final unification of China.
Therefore, along the lines of other Legalists, Han Fei emphasized the importance of "uniform and inflexible" laws (201), since the Confucian emphasis on moral self-cultivation could not naturally lead to the benefit of the state/nation.
Like Shang Yang, Han Fei believed people were by nature self-seeking and would find an easy way out if they could, therefore they should not be provided with any alternatives except for clearly laid out laws.
