bound after the accident almost four years ago has been training for a marathon in Tokyo, Japan next year, saying she had stopped living with hatred.
Attending a press conference on Tuesday afternoon organized by Kaohsiung City Government to announce the results of the city’s settlements with the gas explosion victims, Chen Tzu-yu (陳姿予) said she lived with hatred for the first half year after being paralyzed in the lower half of her body from the injuries in the explosions and needing other people to help her with basic needs, such as going to the bathroom.
