He hoped that prisoners received amnesty to return to their localities must try their best to become honest citizens, live responsibly to the society, eliminate the feelings of guilt and the sense of inferiority, actively integrate into the community in order to make contribution to protecting the national security and local movements. To inmates who have not been granted amnesty on this occasion should make more efforts, strictly follow the prison rules, actively study, and work during the imprisonment in order to be granted amnesty by the Party and State in the soonest time.
