A prisoner in Guangdong province saw his mother for the first time in three years last month as he chatted to her over a video link.
His mother lives in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region and is too frail to visit him at Jieyang Prison.
The inmate, surnamed Luo, is among the first to benefit from a new remote meeting policy adopted by the prison in August.
