Fraud is rampant in Taiwan, and the police are going to great lengths to combat it, even soliciting help from celebrities. In their latest effort, the Railway Police have approached renowned ink painter Chen Shi-hou to paint Zhong Kui, a Taoist deity that can defeat evil demons. The resulting artwork will appear on fans and Dragon Boat Festival traditional sachets, alongside anti-fraud slogans. Chen readily accepted the invitation, because, he said, his younger brother was also a victim of fraud.

Painter
I used to be a portrait painter and Zhong Kui was my most cherished subject. Many friends in my social circle have been victims of fraud. Even my younger brother had his house in Tamsui sold because of a scam.

By introducing the concept of Zhong Kui subduing demons and monsters, we aim to convey to the public the importance of fraud awareness. People who receive Zhong Kui’s fans and sachets will be able to calmly reflect on any suspicious investment invitations or friend requests.

In addition to this painting by this renowned artist, this anti-fraud campaign also includes small items such as fans and Dragon Boat Festival traditional sachets decorated with his artwork, all with their own QR codes. If people are unsure whether something is a scam, they can simply scan the code to connect to the 165 hotline and get the latest fraud information, keeping them safe from falling victim to scam rings.
