The 'priority seat' issue continues to spark controversies, with a recent incident where a tired OL, after working 12 hours, was pressured by an elderly person to give up her seat on the subway, leading to a bloody accident. Internet users question who is responsible for the belief that 'giving up seats is a must for elders.' Some traced back the evolution of priority seats to Chiang Ching-kuo's initiation of the 'Student Giving Up Seat Movement' in 1975, showing that initially, it was meant for older individuals. The debate surrounding priority seats continues to heat up, with different perspectives on its significance and enforcement.
