Killing for love?

Star's picture

A married man in China began having an affair with another woman. This woman was not married but she did have a boyfriend. When her boyfriend found out that she was sleeping with another man he became furious. He took a knife and went to find this married man and try to hurt and scare him. He found the man alone and took out his knife. Perhaps he did not want to kill the man but in his rage, he made a big mistake.

He stabbed the man in the leg and punctured an artery. As the blood seeped out, the man with the knife ran away quickly. Unfortunately, there was no one around and the man who had been stabbed bled to death. 

This is a true story. A student shared this with us in one of my classes this week. The man who died was someone that she knew.

What do you think about this story? Who do you blame the most? The man that was having the affair or the man that committed the murder? And have you heard of similar stories in China or do you think that this is quite rare?

And if you were the killer's girlfriend, how would you react?

I think whatever happenned in our life,you have to control yourself,you don't have right to kill anyone,if you love a girl who have boyfriend,or the girl don't love you,you should't hurt others,I think if the girl don't want to be your girlfriend,she is not worth to be loved by you,but you should not hurt others who are sounded her.thank you.

His action is stupid enough! We can express our love in many ways.But however deeply we love our lover,we must keep calm in any case.Otherwise,love will be changed into harm.So don't let the beautiful love story become tragedy!

So,this thing ,I think it is not easy to solve,maybe all the two sides can't make it in piece.But he must clam down,when he meet something like this,just thinking your life,not only for you,but your dear ,your mother and friends.Just don't hurt his life,if you do this,just you and everybody around you will be sad.

Because of love, to kill somebody is not smart, this kind of person is crazy. This approach is not only robbing him from his love, but he'll spend his life in jail.

I think none is right,I am very sad when I heard this story.In the fact ,it is not just a common story,we should find more problems from this story .why it happans to in our society,I think it because of the low morality.The woman and the men don't have a right views in daily life.

The world of love has not the exactly false or truth .If your girlfirend has fallde in love with another one ,you should leave her quikly,and begain a new life .On the other hand ,The story tells the girl has betrayed the boy ,then she is not worth the boy's true heart.I think the boy is needn't to hurt the others .It's foolish to do that and hurt himself as well.

Once you did something wrong,there is no measure to repair it.So it is important to think twice when you want to do something.Do not let feelings control you,you must control feelings by yourself.

In this story, three individuals have made ​​a mistake.Such a thing,maybe not uncommon in China now.We can be angry but we can not lose ourselvesselves because of rage that committed the wrong and regret it for life.If we can not change anything, it's better for us to let it go. let the others go and give yourself a new life.

After reading this story,I feel very sorry for both the man who was having the affair and the man who committed the murder.On the one hand,the first man is so unfortunately to be killed by the girl's boyfriend though he had done something wrong but it didn't mean he had to make up for it at the expense of life. .On the other hand,the murder may just wanted to give him a lesson but because he was so angry that he made a big mistake which can never be corrected.And in my opinion,the girl should be blamed.Since she had already had a boyfriend she shouldn't sleep with another man.All in all,Those two men and the woman should all think twice before acting!!!Maybe this bad story wouldn't happen in that case.

For the man,emotional responses override the thinking brain.That caused the tragedy.He NOT ONLY hurts the man,but the girl,the man's family,his own family and the most is himselves.IT let me think of a saying,"Impulsion is a devil".And for resent years,this kind of situation often shown.News has been also reported in China.

i think all of them should be blamed.
They r adults,which means they should be responsible for themselves.
i didn't feel any pity about the "victim". If they really care sth else, why should they even having an affair.As for the young man, he is too nervous to consider other things.

In the Book it is written, "Thou shall not kill", and I believe there is no reason for the willful taking of another's life. Love is a powerful emotion and the boyfriend was so angered he took a weapon with him to avenge his anger at the other man. Therein lies the question of why he would want to harm the other man, the other man did not betray him, the woman did. She was deceitful and was likely lying to him. She lived her life as a slut and was the cause of great anger and despair. She is to be pitied, not blamed. How can she ever be accepting of a true love? What a tragic story.

First i feel very sorry for the killer.He not only lost his lover,but also became a killer ,finally.We always say that love is blind.So in this case,i don't think the killer should blame that man which his girlfriend sleeping with.I just think if the woman didn't love the man anymore,she should tell him and dealed it with a right method.If so ,the end wouldn't be that.

Love is never the excuse for committing crime. True love should be generous. People who did stupid things on behalf of love were extreme and irresponsible.We'd beter not be overwhelmed by the sorrows or anger in life.

One's life comes from the parents.When you fall in love with a person, your heart belongs to him, but your life is still partly the responsibility of your relatives.Your heart can die for love, and your life vest in another's love.We not only live our lives, also we can live for others. Falling in love with a man is not easy when you have lost loved ones. You can choose to hold that other love in your heart. I'll always stand by you, I won't keep you away from living your life. That you again love or remarry has nothing to do with me, and you won't receive the news that I am no longer a single if you have rejected my love.

I just read this story in peace and without any surprise. Sometimes I think that because it would never happen to me. And sometimes it's common for us to see this kind of issue.
As we all know,the power of love is beyond our imagination,but I have never thought that love could be the excuse for murder.Nowadays,more and more people fail to take responsibility for their families,so,men or women can have affairs with others without any guilt.I'm thinking that we lost our sense of shame.

I think it is more common nowadays than the ancient time. Actually, this things happen around me, too. My aunt, that is my mother's sister, her husband has an affair with another woman. Moreover, they have a son, and my aunt has known this for more than ten years without saying a word. I think my aunt does not want to get divorce because of her two sons. And my aunt is sensible because she did not try to kill that woman sleeping with her husband, but I think she is kind of coward because her husband is the one who did the wrong thing, but she just didnt say anything.

Today more and more people become audacious,as soon as they find that something doesn't satisfy them,they may get angry .But when you really make them ugly,they will stop to be gentle,and try to get revenge.It is really common.

If you love one person deeply, but you can not get his or her love , please forget him or her,no matter what happens,you can not kill,that will hurt him or her,meanwhile, you will hurt youself,so I can not understand that behavior.

love is ferocious and unreasonable. but not good for health, ha ha, better think it twice.

The man who killed another was too impulsive and stupid.When he did this ,he should take the result into account.Although the woman was wrong,he should not have done this.Killing for love is punishing himself for other's mistakes.Even if he is regretful,the law cannot tolerate him.

People‘s lives are valuable. No people can deprive other's life. Not even love. Killing for love is also criminal. It should be punished by law.

it's not a rare incident in China i suppose.
Many people now are better off and there is a old but well-known saying "Men with lots of money tend to be evil." And this might be one of the example to explain that.With more money,men is easier to catch women's heart by sending stuff and doing romantic things.
From where i stand,i dislike the marriged man the most coz he betrayed his wife.His deed hurt his wife both morally and physically.Besides,the man who committed the murder is also to blame for his illegal act,but i think the reason why he did that is more reasonable than the other man.

I think the woman's wrong, it is because she has a boyfriend, but she sleep with others, this kind of behavior is bad, she destroys another family and it leads to the massacre, all things began with her, so all things should end by her.

I think no one should kill other people.No matter what reason he has.

Ni Ai Jun's picture

Whatever reasons you have for killing,a life comes to its end at your hand.If the man you kill does something that can not be forgiven,he will be punished by the law.None in the world has the right to kill others, for the right of living is the foundation of human rights.We should show respect to human life.

I can't kill anyone for my love. Because everyone has their own love, we don't have the right to kill somebody. I think it is selfish. Love can't stand for a lot of things,for example life.

I think the woman and two men should be blame,but the man that committed the murder should be blamed the most.He can't control himself and made a huge mistake.We all know he's the one being hurt at first,I did sympathize with him in his misfortune.But now he is a murder,he killed a person.I would not show my sympathy to him again
