In the first half of 2005, for example, of the 128 students Hsu Hung-ming found who had dropped out of school, 28 had run away from home, and some of these had begun to sell sex, some had gone into "eight generals" troupes at temples, while others had taken their chances with breaking the law, getting into drugs, theft, robbery, and extortion.
以 2005 年上半年為例，許宏銘尋獲的 128 名中輟生中，有 28 人逃家，其中有人從事援交、有人加入寺廟的八家將團，還有人鋌而走險，吸毒、竊盜、強盜、勒索。
