Time flies so fast! Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and many people may be a little confused about the circumstances of the case at that time.
On the night of February 2013, Li Tianyi and four others drank at a bar in Haidian District, Beijing, and then took turns taking a girl to a hotel for sexual assault. On February 19, the woman called the police. The next day, the police took Li Tianyi (Li Guanfeng) and other five people into criminal custody.

Then the investigation and evidence collection and trial process began for more than half a year. On September 26, 2013, the first instance sentenced Li Tianyi to 10 years in prison. The defendant appealed, but the verdict was upheld two months later. So far, Li Tianyi has been in prison for nearly 10 years.

Li Tianyi’s release from prison should not be groundless. Recently, it was reported that Li Shuangjiang and his wife Mengge had a dinner with friends and hosted a banquet to entertain their son. In the photo, the two people were in a good mood, clapping their hands. There is no family in the same frame, so the idea of ??"treating guests to dinner" cannot be confirmed, but it can at least prove that Li Shuangjiang and Meng Ge have gotten out of the haze that Li Tianyi's imprisonment has brought to the family.
Because he is the son of singer Li Shuangjiang, Li Tianyi received such high attention only when he was imprisoned and now he is released from prison. From a legal perspective, it doesn't matter whose son Li Tianyi is. He was imprisoned for nearly 10 years to pay the price for his crimes. It is his right to return to his family and society, and there is nothing wrong with that.

But in terms of morality, everyone has their own standards of judgment. Should Li Tianyi be forgiven? This issue became the focus of public opinion after he became a hot search topic.
Looking at the opinions of netizens, the pros and cons are clear.

A certified blogger posted an article calling on everyone to "shut up", believing that Li Tianyi paid a huge price for his ignorance and arrogance. The best years of his life were spent behind bars, and it was really not easy for the old couple (Li Shuangjiang and Mengge).

On the other hand, the opposition side stood on the side of the victim, believing that Li Tianyi was only in his twenties after being released from prison and could start over, but the victim's life had been completely ruined and she should not be forgiven.
In fact, netizens participating in the debate confused the two different concepts of "forgiveness" and "acceptance".
Whether you forgive or not forgive, it should be given to the person involved, that is, the girl who was hurt in the first place, not to the enthusiastic netizens arguing in front of the computer. After all we are not victims. In other words, we have no right to forgive Li Tianyi.
Will the injured girl forgive him? This may not be answerable. Of course the victim doesn't want to be noticed, she doesn't want the scars that she has worked so hard to heal for 10 years to be uncovered. She also begged the public not to shift the focus to her and not let her feel the pressure of public opinion. She needs a safe and peaceful life.
What we are arguing about is whether to "accept" Li Tianyi's release from prison and whether to accept his return to society.
There is no standard answer to this question, because everyone has a moral ruler in their heart.

However, one thing I believe is uncontroversial, that is, if the violent Li Tianyi and his family never repented and did not believe that their 10 years behind bars were deserved, Li Tianyi should not be accepted by the public. .
At that time, Li Tianyi wrote a letter to his mother Meng Ge, saying that he "realized that I was wrong", but later wrote, "I should not participate, nor should I trust others easily."
p>However, after Li changed his attorney, the new attorney actually wanted to defend Li Tianyi's innocence and accused the victim of being a "lady on the stage." Therefore, Li Tianyi and the other four "forced women into prostitution" rather than sexually assaulted them. Such sophistry was obviously to excuse Li Tianyi.

During the trial, Li Tianyi also told lies. During the first trial, he said he was drunk and fell asleep. During the second trial, he also said that he went out to call his mother, but did not see or participate. The final verdict proved that Li Tianyi was lying. He was the first victim in the sexual assault case, so he was sentenced to 10 years, while the other four, except Wang, who was an adult at the time, were sentenced to 3 and 4 years in prison respectively. It can be seen that Li Tianyi was not only involved, but also the main culprit.
I wonder if Li Tianyi and his parents will still have the same attitude today after 10 years of age? Are you truly remorseful and feel guilty toward the victim?
