(she who left us)

After she lost contact for several days, her roommate reported the situation to the school and searched for people through social networks. The UC Santa Barbara Chinese Student Union also released information to help find people.
On the 21st, there was still no news of Annie Wang, and finally her roommate chose to ask the police for help.
And the last message about Annie Wang was around 3 am on the 18th, Annie's friend described that before she disappeared -

After multiple confirmations, the police preliminarily identified that she died of suicide , and has contacted her family.
and speculated that it is likely due to the excessive learning pressure.
It is not uncommon for international students to commit suicide under pressure. In February 2017, also in Santa Barbara, another Chinese student, Weiwei Liu, who is Annie's senior sister, also chose to commit suicide and ended her life.
She majored in German and psychology at the same school and was only 20 years old.
But she confessed on her personal Weibo that "I am an overwhelmed coward" and "can't bear the weight of life". On February 12 last year, she chose to terminate her young life in the dormitory.
At the time, Liu Weiwei was found dead in the Santa Cruz dormitory. The police investigation concluded that Liu Weiwei's death was due to suicide.
They are always reminding you that
are speaking abroadHundreds of thousands of international students flood into the world every year. Many people have not considered the amazing pressure behind this.
As the halo of international students is no longer brilliant, the academic pressure is becoming more and more heavy, the foreign environment is not friendly to Chinese students, and more and more students suffer from depression and finally choose to commit suicide.
turned over the previously reported news. In March this year, Zhen Meimei (pseudonym), who was studying abroad, suffered from severe depression due to her inability to adapt to the English-only teaching environment abroad and the changes in her living conditions at home and abroad. Although she was sent back to China in time, But in the end, she couldn't save this young life, she chose to jump off the building...
Also because of depression, in December 2017, Tian Miaoxiu (transliteration), a Chinese student at Cornell University, a prestigious Ivy League school in the United States, was in the Final Ji committed suicide in the apartment.
On December 5, 2017 , A Chinese student at the School of Dentistry, University of Toronto, Canada also chose to commit suicide during the final;
In October 2017 , Tang Xiaolin, who was studying for a doctorate in biology at the University of Utah in the United States, was overwhelmed by academic pressure. Choose to jump from Golden Gate Bridge ...
In December 2016 , Liu Kaifeng, an excellent student of Ohio State University, committed suicide at home;
In November 2016 , University of Toronto, Canada, an international student from Shanghai, China Yang Zhihui committed suicide;
January 2016 , Chinese student Xiao Lu from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business committed suicide by jumping into the ice lake;
January 27, 2015 , Yale University Chinese student Wang Luchang from the Golden Gate Bridge Jumping into the San Francisco Bay to commit suicide;
....
The unchanging fact is that suicide is very rare after all, and the proportion is very small compared to the huge population of studying abroad.
However, this phenomenon is something we cannot let go - How desperate would a person choose to end his life? According to a data survey conducted by Yale University, shows that the depression tendency of Chinese international students has reached 45%, which means that although we see smiling faces every day, there is a haze behind them.
1. Worrying that I will live up to the expectations of my family;
2. Worrying that I cannot achieve the expected goals; My heart is full of hardships, but the sun is still shining on the surface...
Depression, stress, destroying the mind all the time, depression is how it appears...
Australia Final season, please be kind to international students
Ask 100 international students What are you most afraid of going abroad, 99 will tell you Final, and one may be afraid of everything...
If God gives you another chance, you will choose to give up the domestic universities that are strict and lenient, and come abroad with this kind of lenient entry. Do you study in the hell out of Yan?
Some friends said that in fact, the abbreviations of various schools have already predicted the cruelty of Final:
USYD = U Sleep You Die
If you sleep, you will hang up
UNSW = U Never Sleep Well
You will never sleep well
Countless dues, countless assignments, and a series of final tests.
escaped one, but couldn't escape the second, and could only passively struggle in waves of offensive...
Some people say that only when you reach the Final will you truly experience the "fun" of studying abroad
Library Don't think about the place, anyway, you won't be able to grab a seat...
If you grab one, congratulations, it's best to bringCome to the thermal insulation bucket, you must not leave here except to go to the toilet.
Of course, there are also people who have taken a different approach and simply don't have a seat. A tent is better than a thousand troops.
If you are tired from studying and the environment in the library is too depressing, what will happen when you go out to rest for a while?
If you take a nap on the lawn for a while, you may become someone else's review table...
Final, even if you have a date, you have to keep the book in your hand...
Every time you go to the final, the business of the coffee shop is very good, and it has been boiled for several times. All night, students with chicken coop heads, big bags under the eyes, and dark circles under their eyes rushed to the coffee shop while pumping themselves, shouting, I can still survive for 10 days!
Slowly, a lot of jokes about Final appeared:
As long as the school is selected well, the end of the year is like the college entrance examination!
sits up in shock while dying, the final exam questions scare you to tears!
In China, the teacher will focus on it. In foreign countries, the teacher will give you a book...
What does it mean to learn to be lethargic?
drink a hundred cups of coffee and your heart is about to burst?
This is the final. At the beginning, the whole person becomes haggard and in a trance...
then becomes dark circles at home, with obvious bags under the eyes...
finally gave up the treatment...
The next step is to faint...
Facing the Final, some people were too stressed, and they caught up with gastrointestinal discomfort, and even collapsed in the exam room..
The lost dream of studying abroad 》Depicts the life of studying abroad quite realistically!
Original:
"I want to give up now, because I feel that the world has abandoned me, and I have gradually moved away from this world."
2017 Annual Open Doors Statistics Report pointed out that between 2016 and 2017, American colleges and universities (colleges and universities) the number of students studying abroad reached 1,078,822. These international students who come to the United States to study alone are vividly called "parachute boys".
I have to work two jobs a day before I can go home to eat. The work pressure is high and the life pressure is high. I don't work hard, but I'm going to sleep on the street...
could have persisted if I wasn't in good health. Some time ago, I found that the symptoms were so severe that the doctor wouldn't even let me go to school.
has to repay $900 a month, a 10-year loan, and is full of debt and tired. I have been to many countries and have three cats, but I still have no interest in doing anything.
, who really understands their mental state, these overseas students who have traveled far and wide to study abroad at a young age?
"I was born to be human, I'm sorry"
In recent years, news of overseas students committing suicide has been reported. While we cherish the lost young lives, the health problems of overseas students are once again clamoring. physical, and more importantly, psychological issues.
A 2013 survey by researchers at Yale University (Yale) found that 45 percent of Chinese international students reported symptoms of depression, while 29 percent reported symptoms of anxiety. This rate is surprising, given that the overall rate of depression and anxiety among U.S. college students is about 13 percent.
"Depression lasts all year round. It's like sinking deep into a knee-high quagmire. As soon as you stop struggling, you will be submerged." An international student suffering from depression said.
Some international students suffering from depression complained about their experiences on the Internet.
@ahou Overeating, a lot of hair loss, extreme lethargy, palpitations, not going out and contacting the outside world for a week, feeling that every day of life is a torment, afraid of contact with non-Chinese people, unable to concentrate Anything, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. I think I'm depressed, but I've only been abroad for two months.
is a joke: choose to be autistic, move all the people you know on Weibo, be a tree hole, talk to people about this, it will turn others into negative energy, and the family doesn't like listening to it, so it's only yourself...
@jzbxercxhj There are three children from Peking University around me who went abroad to study and returned home with depression. A big reason is that they have always been eager and high on themselves. If you don't reach the state you want at the expected time, you will rush yourself. One of my sisters was also a little depressed when she was studying literature in Cambridge, and felt that she could not find a person who could talk to her. Whether you can find friends who can really communicate with each other when you go abroad is really luck. I am a lot of social, but I am willing to be frank, and I am not afraid of wasting other people's time and I am not worried about being judged. I feel that she really understands all my hard work, because she has come through it like this. So we admire and cherish each other. This kind of friendship came a little late when I was already severely depressed. But I am still grateful to God that there is such a person who makes me feel that I am not alone and understood.
@CLEVER I was in a very depressed state for the first six months. No one speaks, birthdays are all alone. I don't want to communicate with others, and I have no interest in doing anything. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the course... Later, I found a psychological counselor and realized that it might be because of language problems, so I couldn't integrate into the local society. Gradually, I am better now, I have met new friends, although I will not have the same intimate feeling as before, but now I am in a better mood, and I feel that my depression should be relieved.....
The pressure faced by international students ,
is really not everyone can understand...
The rumor spreads on the Internet that "students are playing every day, traveling, partying and shopping is not learning". In fact, the majority of international students are just more willing to share the positive side of life, and leave the hardships and sorrows to themselves. There are always keyboard warriors on the
online who say that most of the international students who go abroad are scumbags, and if they give money, they can study for a diploma. If the diploma is so good, please give me a good one?
and those who think that international students drive luxury cars, go to nightclubs, and live a life full of money... admit that a small number of international students are indeed like this, international students In the group, there are more diligent and hard-working students who work part-time jobs to relieve the pressure on their families and stay up late to catch up on papers. Insufficient sleep, staying up all night, and often staying up all night in the library have almost become the norm for students in North American schools.
Some people are afraid to seek help for fear of affecting their stay in the United States even after experiencing psychological problems due to fatigue, loneliness, and financial stress.
Princeton University once held a photography exhibition called "The Other Side of Me", where many international students poured out the truth behind their smiles through the combination of images and words .
"Sometimes we just need a smile or a word of encouragement instead of asking over and over about our grades or relationships." "Even just a detail can convey some warmth." We can regret the extreme actions of some international students, but we must not ignore their predicament.
is another year of Final season. Not much to say, I can only wish all the international students a smooth Final, all in HD!
sent a test to God,
wish everyone clearance!
pressure drop to 0!
