Shiu Wen-wei

Shiu Wen-wei is the dean of the College of Liberal Arts at National Taiwan Normal University. He has been an advocate for social issues, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by caregivers in Taiwan. Recently, he urged for a presidential pardon for Liu, an 81-year-old woman convicted of killing her son, highlighting the immense strain and despair that long-term caregiving can impose on families. Shiu's comments emphasize the need for a broader societal support system for caregivers, arguing that such tragedies stem from systemic failures rather than individual culpability.
