A recent murder case in Zhonghe, New Taipei City, where a 66-year-old father-in-law allegedly killed his 34-year-old daughter-in-law, has deeply saddened a local netizen. The incident, which has shocked Taiwan, prompted the netizen to share their personal reflections and advice online.
The netizen, who lives near the crime scene, expressed profound sadness upon hearing the news. They revealed that the victim bore the family's financial burdens alone while maintaining a legitimate job. Describing the victim as a beautiful and kind individual, the netizen lamented that she was a rare combination of good character and appearance. The netizen also shared that their own father was a "useless" man, albeit highly educated, drawing a parallel that fueled their cautionary advice.
Reflecting on the victim's situation, the netizen suggested that with her looks and character, she could have easily found a partner who would "spoil her like a princess." Instead, she apparently chose a partner from a less desirable social background, described as a "socially bottom-tier" man. This perceived misjudgment led to her tragic end, a fate the netizen finds deeply regrettable.
In a widely discussed post, the netizen strongly advised women to be extremely cautious when choosing a life partner. The core message emphasized that marriage and children are not essential life requirements and that women can lead fulfilling lives independently. The netizen urged women to "open their eyes wide" and avoid partners described as "useless" or from "socially bottom-tier" backgrounds, a sentiment that resonated with many online.
