About

A space that holds the layered history of correction from China's Qing dynasty to the present, and a place of reflection on human rehabilitation and reconstruction unfolding beyond a prison's walls. Blending the shadow of the whip with the glow of gold, this building — where past punishment and present rehabilitation coexist — draws visitors into the past like a tunnel through time. In the gallery with its cells, barbed wire, and mock gallows, the harshness of the past still feels like a lingering breath. From the lookout point overlooking the sea beyond the prison walls, past and present unfold together in a single view, making this a space where human wounds and healing coexist. This is not merely an exhibition — it is a place that raises questions about human identity and social responsibility.
