Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party has gained astonishing momentum recently, with polls closely tracking Mayor Chiang Wanan who is seeking re-election. Recently, a netizen surnamed Lin took to social media to post a message cursing the safety of Shen Boyang's daughter, referring to the "little light bulb murder" that shocked society 10 years ago, triggering public criticism. Later, some people found out that Lin Nan worked at Yongfeng Financial Leasing, a subsidiary of Yongfeng Financial Holdings. The company hurriedly cut it off and said that the person involved had resigned. Internet celebrity "Four-Chased Cat" Liu Yu also revealed that although Lin Nan was married, he had boldly dated girls and flirted in the community, and even proudly said, "Uncle knows how to drink water from a dog!"

Recently, a social screenshot was circulated on the Internet. A netizen surnamed Lin left a message, "But Shen Ting will die, I hope his daughter will encounter a little lightbulb..." Because the content involved a malicious curse on children's personal safety, the screenshot was widely circulated and sparked public outrage, calling on relevant units to pay attention to the safety of Shen Boyang and his family.

After the public opinion spread, some netizens suspected that Lin Nan was the assistant manager of the business office of Yongfeng Financial Leasing Company, and asked the company to come forward to explain. Sicha Mao also searched Lin Nan’s Threads account and found that he often interacted with suspected assisted dating scam accounts in the past, directly leaving his mobile phone number to indicate that he wanted to have sex, and even claimed to be "Uncle knows how to drink water from a dog (used in private topics as a metaphor for a man to give a woman oral sex)", which is quite straightforward. Sicha Mao also publicly questioned Lin Nan: "Does your wife know that you are flirting with girls?"

In response to this, SinoPac Financial Leasing issued an emergency statement on its official website on the 29th, saying that the company attaches great importance to this matter, has solemnly expressed its position to the party involved, and asked the party to conduct deep self-reflection. At present, the party concerned has resigned. SinoPac Financial Leasing emphasized that the company has always valued respect for life, diversity and tolerance, equal respect and rational communication, and is committed to creating a friendly and mutually respectful working environment. The comments made by employees on personal social platforms are personal behaviors and personal positions and do not represent the company's positions, views or official opinions. The company does not agree with any comments that may harm others, threaten personal safety, trigger social opposition or cause social unrest.

As for Mr. Lin, today he posted an apology under the relevant post that previously revealed that he cursed Shen Boyang's daughter: "Regarding my recent speech to Commissioner Shen, I would like to express my most sincere apologies for my gaffe." However, Lin Nan has not yet issued a formal apology statement, and has not expressed his position on his personal page. Netizens are quite dissatisfied with his "insincere" apology. "Threatening the streets to apologize, blue and white fans are like this", "What is a gaffe? You can threaten other people's children? Can you threaten other people's children? Who can accept such an apology?", "It's hateful enough and has no empathy!", "You just thought about it by leaving a message like this casually? Isn't it the most basic thing to make a sincere apology in a video?"

Father and son surnamed Mie Huang forced a girl to carry a "thief, beast" cardboard through the streets, and the police arrested her for violating a protection order

A girl in Sanchong District, New Taipei City, was forced by her father and brother to carry a cardboard with the words "thief" and "animal" written on it and parade her barefoot through the streets as a humiliating punishment. After the public witnessed it, they stopped it and posted a post, which attracted attention. The police arrested the father involved and transferred him for investigation for violating a domestic violence protection order. Guo Cairong, director of the Protection Department of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, emphasized that there is zero tolerance for child abuse, and humiliating discipline will seriously damage a child's personality. Even without physical violence, it constitutes child abuse. The case highlights the limitations on enforcement of protection orders and gaps in the domestic violence protection system.
