Hang yourself on the tap with a scarf.
On Monday night, in the dormitory of Heshan Henglou in HKUST campus, a security guard found that the toilet door of a disabled person on the eighth floor could not be opened, so he opened the door with a key and found a woman hanging from the faucet with a scarf. The security guard immediately rescued the woman and called the police, but the medical staff confirmed that she had died.
It is understood that the girl who hanged herself is a 22-year-old mainland girl. This girl named Feng is currently studying in a four-year dual-degree program in engineering and business, and is currently a junior. The police then found the suicide note of the deceased, which showed that he was unhappy in Hong Kong, but there was no specific reason for his suicide.
At present, she is in the exam period of HKUST, presumably because she is homesick and has too much academic pressure, so she is emotionally troubled and has embarked on a blind alley.
It is reported that when HKUST comes to Hong Kong to handle the funeral, it will contact the mainland relatives of the deceased and provide necessary assistance. A spokesman for HKUST expressed deep regret and condolences over the incident and extended deep condolences to the families of the deceased. The university will try its best to provide support and help according to her family's wishes, and provide emotional services for university teachers and students.
Eight people committed suicide in HKUST 1 1.
On a mainland student forum in HKUST, there was a post called "Mourning Feng Ye" yesterday morning. It is mentioned in the article that the dead girl not only studied well, but also was more caring and willing to contribute. The post owner expressed his condolences over her death.
HKUST Mainland Students and Scholars Association reminds us that the semester is coming to an end. No matter whether you are facing the pressure of exams or scientific research, or other difficulties, I hope you can deal with them optimistically and chat with friends or family more. I also urge you to care about your classmates and colleagues. If you find that they have emotional troubles, you may wish to take the initiative to talk to them and encourage them to seek the help of professional psychologists.
In the past 1 1 year, there were 8 cases of students' suicide. In an interview with reporters, Dr. Xu, who came from the mainland and enrolled in 2004, said that the school's care for students is actually not enough, and I hope it can be improved in this respect.
Mr. Xu said that he had studied in HKUST for so many years and witnessed many student suicides. One of the doctoral students who committed suicide in 2007 was his close friend, which hit him hard at that time, and Feng Ye, who died this time, had heard of it, so he was very sad to hear the bad news.
I hope the school can care more about students.
Xu teacher mentioned that he knew many students committed suicide, some because of their feelings, and more because of their academic troubles. For example, graduate students are under great pressure here, but the complaint mechanism can't keep up. He said that the friend who committed suicide in 2007 committed suicide in despair because his tutor was leaving and he didn't fall behind because of this study.
"These problems, I hope the school can care more about students." Xu teacher said that science students are often not good at expressing and expressing their emotions. Even if the school has a special psychological counseling institution, mainland students will feel estranged from psychologists in Hong Kong, so few people will consult.
For undergraduates, apart from having a "dormitory tutor" to help solve some practical problems, students are rarely asked about their psychology.
Hong kong and Macao observation
Why do students walk into a dead end?
The two accidents of mainland students in Hong Kong are no longer individual cases. However, it is always distressing for them to go to a dead end in their youth, and the reasons behind it are even more thought-provoking.
In recent years, more and more people have gone to Hong Kong to study in universities, but those who can go to Hong Kong to study in universities should have excellent grades and all aspects of quality. The accidents of mainland students are always attributed to personal emotional troubles, such as being unable to integrate into the group and being under great academic pressure. Actually, the problem is not that simple.
Sometimes, the problems faced by everyone are not difficult to solve. The neglect of them by schools, teachers and friends, coupled with personal obsession, is likely to become the last straw to overwhelm the camel. For example, some students committed suicide because the dormitory was taken back by the school and there was nowhere to live; Some students committed suicide because of emotional discomfort; Some graduate students committed suicide because they could not graduate on time because of scientific research problems.
These problems seem insignificant and not unsolvable, but they all lead to tragedy in the end. According to research, people will have abnormal signs before committing suicide. If we can detect and intervene in time, we may be able to prevent the tragedy from happening, but the mechanism of nip in the bud seems to be missing or ineffective.
In Chinese mainland, many colleges and universities have a tradition of having fresh graduates as counselors. These counselors are both teachers and friends to students, and both sides can communicate well and resolve some negative emotions in time. In universities in Taiwan Province Province, there is a similar "senior system" to take care of every student in place.
These systems ensure that college students far away from home can have a communication channel, but these practices are not popular in the free campus of HKU.
After many tragedies in which students committed suicide, universities in Hong Kong should reflect, not only on their academic performance, but also on their mental health.
