Taipei, Jan. 26 (CNA) The cynical saying “no good deed goes unpunished” came to life recently for Taiwanese director Paul Lin (林伯勳), who is now fighting for his life in China after being stabbed there by a homeless man he was trying to help.

As a result of his injuries, Lin is now in a coma in a hospital intensive care unit in Zhuhai City, Taiwan’s Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) confirmed Tuesday, following a report the previous day in the Apple Daily.

Lin, 41, was leaving a beer bar in the early hours of Jan. 16 when he saw a homeless man sleeping in the cold in a short-sleeved t-shirt near a bus station.     [FULL  STORY]
