If the criminal suspect or his family members can actively compensate the victim and obtain forgiveness, they may be given a lighter punishment.

Legal basis:

Article 234 of the "Criminal Law" who intentionally harms the body of others shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or surveillance.
