From Netease:
March 23 Morning, in Nanping, Fujian Province a man appeared to be mentally ill brandished a knife at the entrance of Luantong Nanping experimental elementary school during the time when students were just arriving to school. He continuously stabled and cut 13 elementary students. Currently, 9 children were killed and the other 4 are in critical condition and being rescued in the hospitals. The suspect was arrested by the police. 42 year old Zheng Mingsheng (郑民生) born in 1968 April 30, a local resident of Nanping, Fujian Province, was never married and used to be a community doctor, now unemployed since he quit his job in June of 2009. According to the people around him, suspect’s motive could be that he felt people around look down on him; both marriage and work are unsuccessful so he felt that he has no reason to live.
March 24, in front of Fujian Nanping Experimental Elementary school, parents and teachers escort the children into the campus.

Eye witness said, when students were going to school, the suspect took out a knife that is 25 cm long, and shouted “They don’t let me live, force me to go crazy, and I won’t allow everyone to live!” Then he grabbed a student and started stabbing, he cut and stabled several students, only took tens of seconds. Some victim children went down but got up and walked a few steps then fell down again.
More blood on the floor
One reporter said many kids at the scene were scared to death, they started crying and ran straight home. Blood were everywhere in front of the school, when he arrived 3 of the children’s bodies were still there, just lying there, very sad.

The cleaning worker who fought the suspect, her face still has the scars. At the time of the incident, a PE teacher tried to save the students, he wanted to throw the bike next to him at the suspect, but it was too heavy. So he grabbed a mop and started fighting him. Finally with the help of other teachers and bystanders, the suspected was brought under control.
Teacher said the school will resume normal operation tomorrow
Injured children are current in the hospital and being rescued
On the streets, many residents are still talking about it, some say the mother of a first grade boy student was at the scene and watched her child leaving her in the blink of an eye.

What an absolute wanker. I honestly wish the parents had gotten to him before the staff did. 凌迟 would be too good for this guy.
My god, even if I had no reason to live I wouldn’t ever think of harming children (or anyone else for that matter); I don’t know if what I hear about Chinese prisons is true, but I wouldn’t expect him to live long with a crime like this.
How incredibly sad – my heart goes out to the parents. I hope the teachers and worker that fought him are seen as heroes.
I think he blamed his problem on the kids. His motive was the kids, the little pricks. But the little bastards didn’t deserve to die. He should have went back to hit them, not kill them. So much for harmony in society. I blame it all on lack of good parenting.
I guess the police were too busy cracking down on porn downloaders.
What a horrible story. So sad that children, the innocents of society in every way, are forced to be victims of and witness to hell. What a coward he probably went after children so he could inflict the most harm, knowing adults would fight back, absolutely deplorable. It is cases like these that cause me to fully support capital punishment, certain people do not deserve and can’t be permitted to be a part of society.
It’s sad that across the world this trend of violent attacks at schools from elementary to university is increasing. What is supposed to be a safe place of learning and growing for all is being turned into a vulnerable nightmare. These people need to seek help before they get to such dire psychological conditions that allow them to act as they do. And, obviously until we figure our how to stop the psychos the schools need to be better protected and supervised so children can continue to learn and play in these environments without being subject to such atrocities.
Heart goes out to the parents and kids who suffered.

Cheney? Is that you?
“Zheng Mingsheng (郑民生)”
If the Chinese name is correct, the standard pinyin rendition would be “Zheng Minsheng”.
Throughout all the cultures of the world, is there any crime more heinous, more unforgivable than targeting the weak and defenseless, the elderly and the children?
Unpardonable. Unforgivable.
Intellectually, I am opposed to the death penalty on principle.
But this man deserves to burn.
God, what a horrible situation. RIP to those poor kids and I send blessings to the parent. Just terrible.
Quite a tragic outcome for this man’s grievances. Seems like school incidents is not just happening in America or Nordic countries. Don’t forget, cities in the interior are more backward, people are also backward. You have more spitting, laughing at the unfortunate, staring at people who are different and general backwardness.
No Job, No Wife, No sex…..it’s the tale of millions of broke frustrated men all over the world. He’s just another reminder of whats to come.
Sad happening, my condolences to the parents. Right now i just cant think of a punishment that would suit this fucker
funny use of the word “suspect” in the story, even though he is clearly going to be condemned.
My grief and sorrow goes to the victims family and friends
The final number of deaths is 8, and 5 was injured.
