A 14-year-old male student from a middle school in Ruifang District, New Taipei City had an argument with a 17-year-old senior male student from the same school outside the school on September 24. He was suspected of stabbing the 17-year-old student in the neck with a noodle stall scissors. The 17-year-old student was rescued for more than a month. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead yesterday night (11th). New Taipei City Councilor Shi Yiyou expressed great regret and emphasized that she, city council candidate Chen Junyan, and the father of Yang Chengxun, the victim of the Tucheng campus neck-cutting case, continue to pay attention to the case.

In 2023, Yang Chengxun, a junior high school student in Tucheng District, New Taipei City, was stabbed 10 times in the classroom by a junior high school student named Guo with a switchblade. Guo Sheng was sentenced to 12 years in prison for murder, and Lin Sheng, who was suspected of abetting, was sentenced to 11 years. He was sentenced in February this year.

The day after the Ruifang case occurred, Yang's father issued a statement expressing his shock and sadness, and reiterated his disappointment in the Tucheng trial. He emphasized that Yang Chengxun's experience may have a butterfly effect, but the consequences will be borne by the families of the victims. If the offenders persist, they cannot always be protected by the minor incident law. He called on the government to amend the law, and also give teachers the right to discipline according to law and institutional support, abolish the current school meeting, and change it to a fair and professional mechanism, so that teachers dare to manage and the school must bear it.
