The End of a Kidnapper

There was a sensational kidnapping incident in Taiwan that happened five years ago. The victim in this case was a famous actress’s little girl. For this reason, the police used reinforcements to attempt to capture the criminal.

On 24th December 1999, I turned on the television and watched the news, when I got home. Unexpectedly, news of a kidnapping caught my attention, because a famous actress’ named, Bai, was mentioned. Firstly I supposed she had been kidnapped, but it was her only daughter who had been. She called a press conference to ask the kidnapper to release her child and appealed to the public for help. Including me, everyone had sympathy for her. We prayed for her, that everything would be fine. In addition, the police had found the criminal’s trail and had publicized his picture. I believed police would catch him soon.

However, a few days later, the unscrupulous criminal sent a finger to Bai, her daughter’s finger. Bai had withstood the pressure for a long time, but she couldn’t take it anymore. She almost collapsed. One journalist on TV cried with her. In Taiwan, we always say that a mother’s heart is joined to her children’s fingers. The police announced that this criminal had also shot some people and raped some women during his escape. Everyone was furious and demanded the police capture him quickly. The kidnapper wad found and caught in a fight. The public and Bai had waited for this for a long time, but the most important thing was, where was the child? Sadly, the child had been killed and buried in the forest.
In conclusion, the kidnapper was arrested by police for kidnapping. After a few days, he appeared in the court and was sentenced to death. This event shocked Taiwanese society deeply. However, people love each other more in the face of such sad events.
