A Taiwan Railway 229 Taroko Express train derailed on the 21st, injuring 9 people, with the driver Chen Junliang sustaining a broken hand while still courageously protecting all 525 passengers. During a visit by Premier Su Tseng-chang, Chen, when asked about his well-being, replied, 'The worst is over.' The incident occurred due to a landslide, with Chen braking forcefully to avoid a collision, injured his hand, but continued assisting passengers until all were safely evacuated before seeking medical attention. Chen, praised as a genuine hero, will require at least a month of rest with compensation from the railway company and the union providing support.
