A bizarre incident occurred in Kaohsiung where an auntie brought 4 oranges to a beverage store, claiming to help ensure the safety of the store clerk. Each small bag of oranges also contained 2-3 thousand dollar bills, totaling $12,000. The auntie mentioned the money was to buy medicine, leaving the clerk distressed. According to folk expert Yang Dengke, this act symbolizes 'willingly accept death'. The auntie left behind 4 oranges, a fruit also known as 'gan zai', which represents the phrase 'willingly accept death'. This gesture, known as 'crossing luck', entails taking someone else's money and accepting their fate. It is advised not to consume any items received following such an event, donate the money, and inform local authorities for further guidance.

Former President Chen Shui-bian, convicted of corruption, has been under medical parole for 9 years due to health issues and still has 4 pending cases.
