254 Complex Emotions

Having completed all the procedures, Liu Zhizhong and Ma Qingqing lined up, waiting for their visitation turn.

Normally, visitations aren't allowed on Saturdays. However, Hedong Prison has a special policy for political offenders that allows for non-working day visitations.

This indirectly reflects a problem: the privilege of privileges means that even if you are in prison, you still have privileges.

However, only one person at a time could visit; groups of two or more were not allowed.

There was a total of half an hour for visitation, so Liu Zhizhong and Ma Qingqing each took 15 minutes.

The gifts they brought were directly delivered to Ma Xudong by the prison guards, who also made clear who the items were from, with everything registered in the system.

When the items were delivered, the guards would notify Ma Xudong that visitors were coming, when the visitation was scheduled, and at which window it would take place.
