A WEALTHY man has hired a national kung fu expert to guard his daughter after a spate of knife attacks in Chinese schools.
Bodyguard Hu Qiong,38, became a monk in Shaolin temple aged eight. He can throw needles like streaking bullets and stop knives with his bare hands, reported Xin Wen Hua Bao newspaper today.
Hu's employer surnamed Liu paid him 10,000 yuan (US$1,465) a month to protect his six-year old daughter on her way to school in south China.
Liu said the price was reasonable after six fatal attacks against school children in less than two months, the report said.
Zheng Minsheng, a former doctor in Nanping city of Fujian Province, killed eight students and injured another five on March 23. Zheng was executed one month after his 55-second killing spree.
On April 12, a man called Yang killed a child and an adult when he attacked a group of people in front of a primary school in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
The same day Zheng was executed on April 28, a former teacher Chen Kangbing in Guangdong Province suffering mental disorders broke into a primary school in southern China and stabbed 16 students and a teacher.
On April 29, a 47-year-old jobless man in Jiangsu Province slashed 29 children, two teachers and a security guard at a kindergarten. And on April 30, Wang Yonglai, 45, hit five toddlers with a hammer in Shandong Province before setting himself on fire.
Schools have beefed up their security after the Ministry of Education issued a red alert and called it a "major political task" to ensure security at schools and kindergartens.
Shanghai police strengthened patrols around schools this month, while extra security staff, including teachers and community volunteers beginning to stand guard at schools.
But unlike some other cities that have equipped guards with pepper spray, anti-cut gloves and steel batons, Shanghai guards are only required to carry batons on duty.
