News Category : AsiaTaipei – A Taiwanese man killed his girlfriend at her home and wished her parents a Happy New Year before fleeing, press reports said on Sunday. Yuan Hong-tzung, 33, began dating Wang, a 33-year-old divorcee with a son, half a year ago, cable TV channel TVBS said.
Well I am back to talk about all the wacky, crazy and ugly in a small island called Taiwan. So this week I learned that a Taiwanese man has just killed his girlfriend before giving Lunar New Year wishes to the girlfriend’s parents. It’s so nice of him to kill someone and then wish the deceased’s parents a happy new year because it is just an incredibly Taiwanese thing to do.
Recently Wang, an accountant, wanted to end her relationship with Yuang, a clerk at a communications products store, but Yuan refused to part ways, TVBS said.
On Saturday afternoon, Yuan went to Wang’s Taipei home to negotiate. Wang refused to talk to him and retired to her room.
Yuan strangled Wang with his hands and then went to the sitting room where Wang’s parents and relatives were celebrating the Chinese New Year.
It looks like there is much more than meets the eye. I have always heard stories of Taiwanese who refuse to accept reality. This is most true for those Taiwanese who always act as if Taiwan is the world’s second or third largest economy or believe their so-called army is on par with the Americans, Russians, and Europeans. This holds even more weight when they often rant about “UN for Taiwan” or “Taiwan independence” while at the same time talking about how their island is too good for the United Nations or promoting greater dependence to the United States for their island’s existence.
It’s really sad that Taiwanese are adverse to living in reality and will become extremely petty, bitter, spiteful and unethical just to maintain their deluded views of their own lives and the world. Taiwanese are rabidly hostile towards anything remotely associated with China or Chinese despite being proven to be largely of ethnic Chinese extraction. People like this Wang fellow represent this Taiwanese cultural attitude who are adverse to both reality and to all things Chinese. It would not surprise me if he decided to kill his girlfriend because he refused to accept the end of their relationship and the fact it happened around the Chinese New Year period.
He sat down and chatted with Wang’s parents and relatives, wished them Happy New Year, and left, the report said.
Wang hailed a taxi to take him to a police station where he turned himself in. When police went to Wang’s home, her parents were shocked to learn that their daughter was not sleeping as they had thought.
“Yuan does not talk much. But today he chatted with us and wished us Happy New Year. When he was leaving, I told him it was cold and he should wear more clothes. There was no indication he had killed my daughter,” Wang’s mother told reporters.
So this guy kills his girlfriend, wishes her parents a happy new year, turns himself in to the cops yet does not have the courage or courtesy to inform the late girl’s parents that he killed her. Sounds like a typical Taiwanese guy to me.
