Wang was convicted of putting toxic sodium nitrite in porridge served to children following an argument with a colleague. While Wang's motivation was presented as revenge, it remains unclear if she intended to kill or sicken her husband and the students. China has seen a disturbing trend of attacks on young students in recent years, primarily carried out by knife-wielding assailants. The country executes more prisoners annually than the rest of the world combined, with most sentences carried out by a bullet to the back of the head.
