A series of metal wall decorations depicting roses and trees have been installed at Gao Shu Junior High School in Pingtung County in commemoration of a late student who had been bullied over his allegedly “effeminate” demeanor.
Yeh Yung-chih (葉永鋕), who was a senior at the school, died in hospital on April 21, 2000, after he was the day before found lying in a pool of blood on the floor of a school bathroom.
