On 14 March 2013, Chinese exchange student and intern Chen Shuangxi attacked his co-workers at the Kawaguchi Suisan fish-processing firm in Etajima, Hiroshima. Two people were killed and seven others were injured. Chen attacked his co-workers with a shovel and a knife. Nobuyuki Kawaguchi, 55, the president of the Kawaguchi Suisan oyster farm, and co-worker Masako Hashishita, 68, were killed in the attack. One man and five women were injured. The stabbings caused controversy over the foreign trainee program in Japan, after it was revealed that Chen had a farming background rather than previous experience in fishing. Additionally, other scandals regarding mistreatment of foreign workers by Japanese businesses were revealed, including two deaths.
According to Chen, he had felt mistreated at his workplace, believing his co-workers were talking badly of him, saying that Kawaguchi frequently "belittled" him.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q123154147. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
