00:00Post-its and flowers can't replace what was lost here, but it can give some semblance
00:05of peace.
00:06Last week, a 27-year-old man named Zhang Wen carried out an attack here at Taipei Main
00:11Station.
00:12He threw out smoke grenades and killed one person.
00:15His victim was 57-year-old Yu Jia Zhang, a man from Taoyuan.
00:19Yu tried to stop Zhang's attack, but that cost him his life.
00:22Now Yu is being hailed as a hero, with many coming here to remember him for his bravery
00:27at a memorial at the scene of the attack.
00:30I want to worship him.
00:31I just feel that he is going to save a lot of people.
00:34Because if he has to stop him, it will not happen in the future of the more scary things.
00:40I am a local teacher.
00:43I just wanted to let my students know this and invite them to write a card.
00:49Then I brought them back together.
00:52Yu was not the only victim.
00:54After leaving Taipei Main Station, Zhang Wen resurfaced here at Taipei's busy Zhongshan
00:59commercial district about an hour later.
01:02Here he set off more smoke grenades before brandishing a large knife, slashing at people,
01:07killing two of them.
01:08The attack ultimately ended when Zhang Wen fell out of a six-floor shopping mall window
01:12while evading police.
01:13Here people have also erected a memorial to honor the victims.
01:16The victims' loved ones will receive compensation.
01:17Yu's family will get around $400,000.
01:21The other two will get less than that because of legal limitations.
01:26Taipei City government has also set up a fundraising platform where people can donate to victims.
01:31Meanwhile, Zhang Wen's parents have apologized for their son's actions, vowing to work with investigators.

01:47The killings have sent shockwaves throughout the country, at what is usually a
02:17joyful time of the year.
02:20As people in Taiwan come to terms with what happened, its people are coming together to
02:25remember those whose lives were lost and to give what support they can.
