Buckling Under Pressure | Wu Xie Yu | 20...

Mediacorp
About this episode

From the outside, Wu Xie Yu seemed like an exemplary student; well-mannered, intelligent, and a top student at one of China's top universities. But deep down however, he was shouldering the heavy burden of expectations, not to mention the grief following his father's passing a few years later. And one day in 2015, he buckled under the pressure.

Part 1 - We explore Wu Xie Yu's background, as well as that of his family; leading up to the horrific events that played out in 2015.

Part 2 - We learn about how Wu Xie Yu managed to hide from authorities for so long, and the circumstances that led to his eventual arrest.
