Against that backdrop, Mr. Liu, a former lawyer with a long interest in psychology, decided that the people of Tianjin needed some help apologizing, "as a way of relieving pressure, reducing barriers and the many negative feelings between people today."

"Our society is changing very fast and competition is very harsh, so everyone now feels pressure in his heart," Mr. Liu said, sitting under a trellis bearing plastic fruit that covers the ceiling of the center's group counseling room.
