In the comments section of the article about the beating death of the tiny toddler, Wu Feng wrote the following comment:
“I have never publicly shared my support for the death penalty! But for the first time since the recent spate of child abuse, I sincerely support very serious punishment that includes the death penalty! This kind of behavior should definitely not be punished lightly! I feel that we as influential entertainers are also responsible for helping Taiwan’s society progress, and the world to improve.” [FULL STORY]
