One day, Aqiang heard that the court would pardon the whole country, which filled him with hope. He prayed every day, hoping to be released. Finally, that day came. Aqiang was released. He walked out of the prison, breathing the fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun, and his heart was filled with joy. He had finally seen the light of day again!
