Recently, a collection of comics, drawn by students from Nanjing Forestry University（南京林业大学NFU）, went viral（快速传播）online. These students didn’t just draw the comics for fun. Instead, they regarded them as a way to show their regret for things they had done wrong.

Li Yong, a teacher at the university, came up with the idea of “self-criticism comics.” At the beginning of this term, he gave his students a special instruction that, if anybody broke any school rule, he would have to express his remorse（自责）by either writing or drawing a letter of self-criticism.

Li said that students used to give him written letters of self-criticism but they often copied the content of their essays（短文）from the Internet. He had been thinking of changing the form of the letters of self-criticism, so that students would really understand they had done something wrong.

Almost all of the students who had broken a school rule chose to produce their letters of self-criticism in the form of comics. Some said it was easier to draw comics than to write a 5,000-word letter; others said they became more aware of their mistakes by drawing rather than writing.
