Central News Agency (CNA, Tainan, July 4) A large stone statue of Koxinga on horseback at the Koxinga Shrine in Tainan's Central-West District was found with a traffic cone on its head this morning. A man surnamed Yang, involved in the incident, turned himself in this evening and claimed he did it on impulse. The police will fine him according to the Social Order Maintenance Act. The Koxinga statue at the intersection of Fuqian Road and Kaishan Road in Tainan's Central-West District had a traffic cone placed on its head, sparking heated discussion online. Police immediately launched an investigation and identified the suspect, a 19-year-old man surnamed Yang, through surveillance footage from nearby businesses. He was summoned for questioning this evening. Police investigation revealed that Yang, a resident of Tainan city, impulsively bought a traffic cone. Around 2 AM today, he went to the Koxinga Shrine garden, climbed onto the statue, placed the traffic cone on its head, and left. However, police preliminarily determined that Yang did not damage the statue. After questioning, he will be fined NT$6,000 for violating the Social Order Maintenance Act. The Koxinga Shrine is a historical building in Tainan, primarily dedicated to Koxinga, the Prince of Yanping of the Ming Dynasty. It was formerly known as Kaishan King Temple, renamed Koxinga Shrine during the Qing Dynasty, and rebuilt as Kaishan Shrine during the Japanese colonial period. After reconstruction in 1963, it was designated for the central government's ceremony on April 29th. This Koxinga statue on horseback was donated by Quanzhou, Fujian, China. It is made of granite, commonly known as "Quanzhou White," measuring 8 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 7 meters high, weighing 200 metric tons. It was unveiled in May 2008.
