In terms of family education, Tang Hui was also discussed in contrast to Meng Ge. Tang, mother of a kidnap and rape victim in Yongzhou, Hunan province, received a laojiao sentence for repeatedly petitioning for harsher sentences for her daughter's attackers. Tang was released within a week under public pressure, but academics, media and the public began to question the legitimacy of the system. The good news is that China has decided to abolish the controversial laojiao system, although it was too late for some. [Photo by Fan Yuanzhi/Asianewsphoto ]
