"Don't commit crimes in Guangdong. Here is the hell for criminals."

He praised the performance of police officers in an abduction case in which a man who kidnapped a 10-year-old girl was shot dead near Guangzhou Railway Station on Saturday. Police opened fire when they saw that the hostage's life was threatened by the kidnapper.
