A man kneels on the ground to ask for forgiveness in front of a dormitory building for female students at the Chongqing Industry Polytechnic College, July 1, 2015. The man carried battens on his back, suggesting that he was prepared to receive a punishment. In popular Chinese story "Carrying Thorned Grass and Pleading Guilt,” an old general strapped brambles to his bare back and begged for forgiveness from the chief minister.
