A human tragedy occurred in Yuchi Township, Nantou County on the 19th when a man set fire to his home, killing one and injuring two. The Nantou County Health Bureau reminds that domestic violence is often the result of long-term conflicts and can easily explode once they encounter emotional or financial pressure. People who suffer from domestic violence should seek external professional assistance as soon as possible and do not tolerate it because of the traditional concept of "family scandals should not be publicized". Only in this way can the cycle of violence be effectively interrupted and regrets avoided.

Among them, there were 21,065 cases of "lower relative versus senior relative" domestic violence cases in which younger generations were violent towards elders, accounting for about 11% of the total number of notifications, indicating that the problem of violence by younger generations is becoming increasingly serious.
