Hanfeizi believed that humans were naturally bad, while Laozi believed that humans were naturally good.
Hanfeizi was very important. Legalism was based on his teachings. He lived from 280-233 B.C.E. He was a prince of the royal family of the state of Han. He got to see the end of the Warring States Period and the Zhou Dynasty Like Confucius. Hanfeizi was very concered with creating peace and order into a society, but he did not think Confucious teachings about proper behavior were the answer. Many of his ideas survive today in a book named after him called Hanfeizi.
Unlike Confucius or Laozi, Hanfeizi taught that humans were naturally evil. He believed that they needed harsh laws and stiff punishments to force them to do their duty. Hope this helps. :)
