There have been campus accidents one after another around the world. In Taiwan, a horrible murder of a university student took place on 2015/3/4; the cause was love-related desire. It is university education’s responsibility and obligation to improve students’ moral character. For this reason, this study was motivated to integrate this current event into a university Chinese course to explore literature related to ‘desire’ and ‘righteousness’ using a qualitative research method. The interpretations of ‘desire’ and ‘righteousness’ in the literature were analyzed and the results were summarized to help improve students’ mental health when dealing with people and situations and to enhance universities’ moral education function.
