    Director Jian's guardian first breaks the question from "forgiveness", and through the video, brings out the important concept of restorative justice - through the voluntary face-to-face expression of the victimization experience by the perpetrator and the victim, the perpetrator shows sincerity, admits his own behavior, and is willing to Taking responsibility, and then compensating for damage and repairing relationships through mutual empathy, which is different from the traditional punishment of conviction and punishment.

The "restorative justice" is well-intentioned. It does not aim at punishing the perpetrators, but hopes that the perpetrators will have the opportunity to take advantage of this process of in-depth communication with the victims and be willing to reform and return to society. Victims also have the opportunity to obtain healing and compensation outside the law, and they absolutely need to regain themselves and "return to society". It is hoped that the current judicial dilemma can be solved through "restorative justice". The lecture was attended by 70 staff and 59 inmates
