On the morning of August 25th, a single mother surnamed Wang in Heyang was stabbed seven times by a former blind date after getting out of a taxi on the street. She is in critical condition. The suspect fled and continued to threaten the victim's family by phone. Police are currently making every effort to apprehend the perpetrator.
A woman was stabbed on her way to work.
A shop owner near the scene of the crime said that at around 8:30 a.m. on August 25, the victim, surnamed Wang, had just gotten out of a taxi on his way to work when a man in camouflage clothing got out of another taxi and stabbed Wang with a knife. The assailant then ran into an alley near Dongxin Street and disappeared.
Wang's mother said that after her daughter was stabbed, a kind person took her to the hospital. When relatives arrived, their daughter was covered in blood, and the whole family was terrified. Yesterday, Wang was still in a coma in the surgical intensive care unit of Heyang County Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Doctors said that Wang had multiple stab wounds and her condition was serious; she is still not out of danger. Wang's mother said that the assailant was Lei, a man from Ganjing Town, Heyang, who had been introduced to her daughter for a blind date three months ago.
The woman refused to date him and was harassed.
It is understood that the victim, Ms. Wang, is 30 years old and lives alone with her four-year-old son after her divorce. She works at a wedding photography studio near Dongxin Street. Three months ago, Ms. Wang met Mr. Lei through a blind date arranged by a mutual acquaintance.
“Although we went on blind dates, we didn’t establish a relationship. He then told my daughter that she was not allowed to go on blind dates with anyone else. He also said that if my daughter went on blind dates with anyone else, he would jump off a building and commit suicide. He also threatened to kill our whole family,” said Ms. Wang’s mother. At the time, the family felt that Mr. Lei’s thinking was too extreme, and since their daughter also felt that the two were not suitable, they refused to continue their relationship with him.
However, Lei continued to harass Wang repeatedly, even demanding the return of the 500 yuan she had spent on dinner, and still did not give up. A female staff member at the wedding photography studio where Wang worked said that Lei had come to the studio to see Wang many times before, and her colleagues knew that Lei was harassing Wang and had tried to persuade him to stop, but to no avail.
The victim had been hospitalized after being beaten by the assailant.
Yesterday, Wang's younger brother said that more than 20 days ago, his sister was intercepted by Lei as soon as she left her house. She was beaten and hospitalized for a week. Later, the family reported the incident to the police, but the Chengguan Police Station of Heyang County Public Security Bureau only responded twice and did not arrest Lei.
“If the public security authorities had taken this seriously and dealt with the murderer sooner, my sister might not have ended up like this,” said Wang’s brother. He added that on August 22, the family had spotted Lei in the county town, but the police did not arrest him promptly after they reported him missing.
Regarding the family's accusations of police inaction, a police officer from the Chengguan Police Station of the Heyang County Public Security Bureau stated that they had indeed received a report about Lei assaulting Wang, and the station immediately classified it as a public security case. "We summoned the assailant multiple times and went to his home several times, but he was never home," the officer said. He added that the police had been investigating and handling the case according to relevant procedures, and they never expected such a thing to happen.
Family members were threatened by the murderer after the incident.
"After arranging things for my daughter at the hospital, I went home to get some daily necessities," said Wang's mother yesterday. "Around 1 p.m. on the 25th, I had just entered the house when I received a phone call. Lei threatened on the phone that he had already taken my daughter's life and that he would kill my son and our whole family. My husband also received a similar call." Yesterday morning, five relatives stood guard outside the intensive care unit where Wang was staying. A wooden stick about one meter long was placed nearby. The relatives were very wary of any strange men approaching the ward.
Yesterday, a reporter from the Huashang Daily learned from the Heyang County Public Security Bureau that, according to an investigation, due to a relationship dispute, the suspect, Lei, stabbed the victim, Wang, seven times in the chest, abdomen, and thigh with a knife on a street opposite a photo studio on Dongxin Street before fleeing. Following the incident, the Heyang County Public Security Bureau has instructed the Criminal Investigation Brigade to establish a special task force to conduct a full-scale investigation and manhunt for the suspect, Lei.

The road to blind dating is always full of twists and turns, but as long as you have a sincere heart, you will still wait for your destined one. Of course, before that person appears, we must protect ourselves and not let the demons and monsters on the road to love defeat us! After all, it's always the girl who suffers. Here are a few suggestions for you; understanding these will make blind dating safer.
1. Ask to see my ID card before meeting me.
An ID card is the most effective proof of identity, and someone who genuinely wants to be with you won't mind showing it to you. You can ask to see a photo of the ID card first, and then ask to see the original when you meet in person.
2. Choose a place with many people when you meet.
For example, during the day, go to shopping malls or restaurants, but don't stay out too late with people you've just met. Avoid crowded places like bars and nightclubs.
3. Check the household registration book only before confirming a romantic relationship.
The important part is the marital status section, and it should be compared with the registered address on the ID card to verify its authenticity.
4. Meet his friends and family.
This happens after the relationship is established. If he has nothing to hide, he will naturally introduce you to his friends as the relationship progresses. You can also observe the attitudes and reactions of his friends to determine if he has anything to hide.
5. If you are new to a business and it involves money or valuables, be very careful and consult with friends to avoid being scammed.
Many scammers play the sympathy card, taking advantage of girls' infatuation and kindness. Therefore, in daily interactions, you must be extremely careful when money is involved. Before establishing a marital relationship, it is best to avoid financial disputes to prevent future misunderstandings.
6. Before a date, inform your family or friends of the person you are going to meet, the time, the place, and your planned return time. It is best not to go on the first date alone. It is also best to know some basic information about the person you are going to meet, as well as their character and behavior.
