On December 18, Lao Rongzhi, a high-profile death row prisoner, was finally executed. Her story is full of tragedy, from being an excellent student in a normal school, to being the best in multiple robberies, and finally going to a dead end. Lao Rongzhi's words before his execution triggered people's thinking about criminal psychology and social problems.
In prison, Lao Rongzhi cried bitterly that she could not accept this reality, and her heart was full of pain. Since 1996, she and her boyfriend Fa Ziying have committed multiple crimes across the country, killing a total of seven victims, including a minor child.
In court, she refused to admit her guilt, claiming that she was kind and innocent, and even said that she had never harmed animals. To some extent, the trajectory of Lo Rongzhi's life reflects social problems. She could have had a bright future, but because she met Fa Ziying, she gave up her stable job and became a criminal **.
It also raises questions about the psychological and social environment behind criminals. The unfortunate experience of Lo Rongzhi has also made people pay more attention to the prevention and intervention of juvenile delinquency. Before her execution, Lao Rongzhi's psychological state was very bad, she barely slept, and her spirit was in a state of extreme tension.
She hoped to be forgiven by the victims' families and pledged to make every effort to compensate them after reintegration. This kind of self-blame and remorse also makes people sigh that if she had made a different choice, maybe everything would have been different.
It was her own choice that Lao Rongzhi came to this point, but her experience also made people pay more attention to the society's education and correction of criminals. Should we give more care and understanding to criminals from the perspective of psychological and social problems, in the hope that more similar tragedies can be avoided?
Before leaving, Lo Rongzhi made some demands to the family, hoping that the family would be able to repay her debts and apologize to the victim's family on her behalf. This self-blame and guilt allows people to see her inner struggle and pain.
In our view of criminals, should we also pay more attention to their inner struggles and changes, in the hope that more help and support can be given to them? The story of Lo Wing-chi has made people reflect deeply on how society thinks about criminals and how they deal with them.
When dealing with criminals, should we pay more attention to their hearts and changes, and give them more care and support, in the hope that more tragedies can be avoided? The tragic life of Lo Rongzhi also allows us to see more social problems behind crime, which also requires us to think and work together to solve them.
