Do you still have to pay for fighting and going to jail?

If a person is injured or slightly injured, after assuming criminal responsibility, the other party may file a criminal incidental civil action, requiring the hitter to bear the liability for personal injury and compensate the related medical expenses. There is no fine for fighting, only civil compensation. If it is not handed over to the state, the court will not enforce it.

Article 234 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever intentionally harms another person's body shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Whoever commits the crime mentioned in the preceding paragraph and causes serious injuries shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; Whoever causes death or serious injury by particularly cruel means and causes serious disability shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death.

After being sentenced for fighting, he should also bear civil liability according to law. If the victim refuses to bear civil liability, the victim can force the other party to pay compensation through legal channels.
