Fan’s attack happened on November 11 when he drove onto an exercise track in Zhuhai, fueled by frustration over a property division post-divorce. According to state media, the intensity and cruelty of the incident led to swift legal actions. Just a month after his sentencing, the court labeled Fan's actions as "extremely vile," emphasizing the serious threat to public safety he represented. His case is part of a worrying trend, with 19 similar attacks reported throughout China in 2024 alone, two of which occurred just days after the Zhuhai event. Communities across the nation are left mourning and grappling with the implications of such violence.
