Abel&#039;s &quot;knocking on the pot and slapping his legs&quot; was so noisy that the neighbors collapsed | TVBS News<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 78-year-old man living alone in Yonghe District, New Taipei City, often practices qigong outside his home. However, the loud noise from his practice, including banging on an iron basin and striking his body, is disturbing many neighbors. Police stated that in January, a resident reported the incident, and the man was fined NT$1,000. He promised to practice in a park when the weather is nice and to try to practice outside of his rest time. The more vigorously the man bangs, the more troubled the upstairs residents become. The extremely loud noise starts around 8 or 9 am, and although it stops briefly, it resumes after a few minutes, causing considerable disturbance to nearby residents. Reporter Zhou Rongxuan: &quot;When we arrived at the scene, the man was practicing right here. There was a sign that read &#039;Silver-haired Elderly Man Dancing Cross-legged,&#039; but while he was stretching his muscles, he was disturbing the nearby residents.&quot; The 78-year-old man, surnamed Chen, lives alone in a house in an alley in Yonghe District, New Taipei City. Many neighbors know and have seen him practicing qigong and meditation. A nearby resident said, &quot;I don&#039;t feel bothered (by the noise). He just sits in meditation at his doorstep. He thinks he can fly, just bouncing around like that. It&#039;s his fun.&quot; Another resident added, &quot;He used to be in poor health, so he said he was practicing &#039;solar kung fu.&#039; We neighbors think he&#039;s taking care of his own health, so I don&#039;t care.&quot; In fact, some residents couldn&#039;t stand it anymore as early as January. Although they didn&#039;t report it to the Environmental Protection Bureau, they directly reported it to the police. The police fined the man NT$1,000. Three months later, he was seen practicing again, more than once a day, twice a day, each time for more than half an hour. Xu Qingshun, deputy director of Xinsheng Police Station, said, &quot;We tried to persuade him morally because this time there was no named complaint, so we used gentle persuasion.&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Explanation of the Noise Making and Public Order Maintenance Act<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lawyer from Fidelity Law Firm stated, &quot;If the noise violates the standards, the person making the noise may be in violation of the Social Order Maintenance Act and could face fines. Members of the public can request the other party to stop making such noise through Article 793 of the Civil Code.&quot;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opinion of Fidelity Law Firm<\/h2>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should be confirmed first when encountering similar cases?<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First, organize the event timeline, notices, contracts, chat logs, photos, videos, and payment information.<\/li><li>Confirm the current stage of the process: it may be just a consultation, you may have been interviewed, you may have received a summons, you may have entered into court proceedings, or you may need to file a lawsuit to seek compensation.<\/li><li>Assess whether there are immediate risks such as statute of limitations, evidence preservation, detention, imprisonment, settlement negotiations, or media exposure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"fdlaw-faq-block\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><h3>When encountering similar legal issues, is it necessary to consult a lawyer first?<\/h3><p>If the case involves the courts, police, police, evidence-based correspondence, contractual liability, or potential claims, it is recommended that a lawyer assist in assessing the legal risks and the order of action.<\/p><h3>What materials should be prepared before a consultation?<\/h3><p>It is recommended to prepare a timeline, relevant documents, conversation records, photos and videos, notices or contracts to help lawyers more accurately determine the direction of the case.<\/p><h3>What kind of assistance can Fidelity Law Firm provide?<\/h3><p>Our firm can provide legal advice, civil litigation, criminal defense, contract review, corporate legal counsel, and business dispute resolution, depending on the nature of the case.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"fdlaw-related-card\"><strong>Related services and further reading<\/strong><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/legalconsulting\/\">Legal consulting services<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/contact\/\">Contact Fidelity Law Firm<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"fdlaw-contact-card\"><strong>Fuda Law Firm<\/strong><p>Line\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw<\/a><\/p><p>Tel:<a href=\"tel:0277093611\">0277093611<\/a><\/p><p>Facebook:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer<\/a><\/p><p>website:<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/<\/a><\/p><p>e-mail:<a href=\"mailto:info@fdlaw.com.tw\">info@fdlaw.com.tw<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u9047\u5230\u985e\u4f3c\u6cd5\u5f8b\u554f\u984c\u6642\uff0c\u662f\u5426\u9700\u8981\u5148\u8aee\u8a62\u5f8b\u5e2b\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u5982\u679c\u6848\u4ef6\u5df2\u6d89\u53ca\u6cd5\u9662\u3001\u6aa2\u8b66\u3001\u5b58\u8b49\u4fe1\u51fd\u3001\u5951\u7d04\u8cac\u4efb\u6216\u53ef\u80fd\u6c42\u511f\uff0c\u5efa\u8b70\u5148\u7531\u5f8b\u5e2b\u5354\u52a9\u5224\u65b7\u6cd5\u5f8b\u98a8\u96aa\u8207\u8655\u7406\u9806\u5e8f\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u8aee\u8a62\u524d\u61c9\u6e96\u5099\u54ea\u4e9b\u8cc7\u6599\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u5efa\u8b70\u6e96\u5099\u6642\u9593\u8ef8\u3001\u76f8\u95dc\u6587\u4ef6\u3001\u5c0d\u8a71\u7d00\u9304\u3001\u7167\u7247\u5f71\u7247\u3001\u901a\u77e5\u66f8\u6216\u5951\u7d04\uff0c\u8b93\u5f8b\u5e2b\u80fd\u66f4\u7cbe\u6e96\u5224\u65b7\u6848\u4ef6\u65b9\u5411\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u5bcc\u9054\u6cd5\u5f8b\u4e8b\u52d9\u6240\u53ef\u4ee5\u63d0\u4f9b\u54ea\u4e9b\u5354\u52a9\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u672c\u6240\u53ef\u4f9d\u6848\u4ef6\u6027\u8cea\u63d0\u4f9b\u6cd5\u5f8b\u8aee\u8a62\u3001\u6c11\u4e8b\u8a34\u8a1f\u3001\u5211\u4e8b\u8faf\u8b77\u3001\u5951\u7d04\u5be9\u95b1\u3001\u516c\u53f8\u6cd5\u5f8b\u9867\u554f\u53ca\u5546\u52d9\u722d\u8b70\u8655\u7406\u3002\"}}]}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u65b0\u805e\u8207\u5f71\u7247\u4f86\u6e90 https:\/\/youtu.be\/q8Y0IYM2iJg \u6848\u4ef6\u80cc\u666f\u8207\u6cd5\u5f8b\u722d\u9ede \u9ea5\u64f1\u7df4\u529f\u5566!
