Society losing its moral compass

On May 12, seven children and two adults were hacked to death, and at least 11 others were injured by a knife-wielding assailant in Shaanxi province. The murderer killed himself soon after the attack.

Five deadly attacks on schoolchildren have taken place in the space of just one month, shocking the nation.

The brutality of such attacks, particularly on defenseless children, has rightfully angered the populace.
