Taiwan Coach Trades 200 Student Blood Draws for Graduation Credits

Zhou Tai-ying, Taiwan’s notorious “vampire coach,” linked over 200 student blood donations to 32 crucial NTNU graduation credits, sparking searches like “why do students donate blood for school” and “university graduation scandals.” One student revealed, “By the eighth day, they even tried my wrist and failed. It was excruciating.”
While the wrist-vein saga haunts NTNU, Zhou’s alleged demand for continuous blood draws—sometimes three a day, 5 am to 9 pm—has fueled trending queries like “how many blood donations are safe” and “can teachers force students.” The university’s remedy: dismiss Zhou and post her handwritten apology, while online sleuths wonder aloud, “What would a teacher even gain from this?”—as if football drills now come with a transfusion side hustle.
At National Taiwan Normal University, students endured up to 14 days of triple-daily blood draws, leaving harvesters searching for viable veins with the desperation of caffeine-starved vampires in a decaf café.
