Beijing (CNN) -- When an ax-wielding man attacked people on the street in Henan Province on Wednesday, the terse media reports created headlines and public panic. Wang Hongbin, 30, killed six people, including two children, and is said to be mentally ill.
Is this yet another sign of a worsening mental illness in China?
We recall last year's alarming stories of five major attacks in Chinese schools, leaving 17 people, including 15 pupils, dead.
In March, a local resident in Fujian stabbed students, killing eight and injuring five. The suspected attacker, a former community doctor, was suffering from mental illness, the Xinhua report said.
