September 30, 2017 On the 19th, Tang Xiaolin stood alone on Golden Gate Bridge in California, USA, looking at the turbulent waves and watching seagulls fly across the sky. She thought of her nearly 15 years of study experience from Peking University to Utah . She thought of her last video call with her parents with white hair. The 32 years of life flashed in her mind, tears wet her cheeks, and she slammed She took up the courage and resolutely jumped down from the Kinmen Bridge. She hoped that the sea water of Kinmen Strait could take her back to her dream hometown...
On October 1, 2017, Tang Xiaolin's parents, who were far away in China, found that they could not contact their daughter. The anxious old couple quickly contacted Tang Xiaolin's American students friends. The friends quickly reported the case and posted a missing person notice on their circle of friends.
On the evening of October 6, 2017, the US police found a body on the shore of the Golden Gate Bridge in California. After investigation by the police, it was finally confirmed that the body was Tang Xiaolin who had been missing for many days.
Tang Xiaolin's parents were heartbroken when they learned the news. They had no idea why such an excellent daughter committed suicide? From Peking University to the University of Utah, Tang Xiaolin has always been a genius in the eyes of her peers. After learning that she went to the United States to study, people were even more envious. Everyone felt that Tang Xiaolin had a bright future, and even she herself was full of confidence to study abroad. What exactly happened that caused this 32-year-old genius scholar to commit suicide? Which "straw" finally overwhelmed this promising girl?
1985, Tang Xiaolin was born in an ordinary family in Yantai City, Shandong Province. Her parents are ordinary working class. They love their daughters very much and do their best to create the best learning environment for their daughters. Tang Xiaolin has been smart and cute since childhood and has always been "other people's children."
Tang Xiaolin has loved studying since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been among the best after going to school. She is not only a genius academic master, but also a cheerful girl. Her classmates like this kind and cheerful female academic master very much. Her parents also support her daughter very much, and Tang Xiaolin has lived up to expectations. She has always been one of the top students from elementary school to high school. After entering high school, physics and chemistry, which made girls' headaches, became Tang Xiaolin's strength. With the support of her talent and personal efforts, Tang Xiaolin finally got admitted to Peking University.
Tang Xiaolin has had a space dream since she was a child. After 12 years of hard study, she finally entered the top university in my country and took a step towards her dream. At Peking University, she chose the Space Physics major, which is extremely difficult in subjects, and continued to take root for her dreams.
In this major with few girls, Tang Xiaolin still worked tirelessly, and eventually led the class of boys with super abstract thinking. Four years later, she successfully completed her undergraduate studies with excellent results.
When I was in college, Tang Xiaolin's teacher once told her that undergraduate studies are basically based on theoretical knowledge. If you want to study space physics more deeply, you must continue to study. But Tang Xiaolin found that China cannot systematically learn advanced technology, so after graduation, Tang Xiaolin applied for a graduate student at the University of Utah in the United States. The University of Utah in the United States is a world-renowned public research university and one of the most famous and oldest public universities in the United States. Its space physics major is ranked third in the world and is known as the Palace of Space Physics. Top universities also have extremely strict requirements. This school only recruits 20 international students around the world every year, which shows how difficult it is to enroll.
And Tang Xiaolin, through many years of hard work, passed five levels and defeated six generals, and finally obtained the admission qualification of the University of Utah.
She plans to learn more complete knowledge about space physics at the University of Utah, and finally bring it back from the United States so that our domestic students can learn more systematic knowledge of space physics.
Tang Xiaolin chose direct blog at the University of Utah, so that she could complete her studies and return to China two years earlier.
In the fall of 2008, 23-year-old Tang Xiaolin started her new journey at the University of Utah in the United States.
In a foreign country, in order to start her studies as soon as possible, Tang Xiaolin devoted all her energy to her studies and research. In just two years, she successfully obtained her master's degree. Tang Xiaolin, who was full of confidence, planned to return to China in four years and serve her motherland.
25 years old, Tang Xiaolin not only obtained a master's degree, but also met many friends studying in the United States. In her spare time, she would go shopping, eat, and do manicures with three or five friends. They played and played in the snow of Salt Lake City , and also worked together in the laboratory of the University of Utah. She had achieved success in her studies and was beside her. Tang Xiaolin, who was proud of her, was full of longing for the future.
But she didn't expect that the turning point happened when she was 25 years old. In the next seven years, she not only failed to complete her plan, but also buried herself in the sea in a foreign country.
During the doctoral degree, the pressure on academic work has increased significantly. For this reason, Tang Xiaolin has been studying day and night just to be able to complete the learning tasks assigned by her tutor.
Even though she worked hard, she felt that her mentor was not friendly to her. After many hard work, she felt that the two sides were not getting along well, so Tang Xiaolin applied to change the mentor.
The school arranged for her Professor Saviz Safarian, who is an authority in studying viral physics and is also an associate professor of physics and astronomy in the School of Biological Sciences.

After hundreds of days and nights of unremitting efforts, Tang Xiaolin mastered all the courses in biophysics , and became an assistant researcher of the tutor.
In 2013, 28-year-old Tang Xiaolin has published three high-level papers, has mastered the systematic knowledge of space physics, and has also achieved certain achievements in the biology major. She wants her supervisor to apply for graduation and is ready to set foot on her hometown with expectations.
But this is not the case. The tutor rejected Tang Xiaolin's graduation application, and he believed that Tang Xiaolin did not do well enough.
He also kept telling Tang Xiaolin: "You are getting worse and worse, what you do is a joke! A level like you cannot reach the graduation level at all!"
In this regard, Tang Xiaolin could only put more energy into the laboratory. She did experiments day and night, and arrived at the laboratory at 8 o'clock every morning until eleven o'clock in the evening, hoping to eat and live in the laboratory. Friends also discovered that the lively and cheerful girl in the past was gone. They found that Tang Xiaolin no longer had a smile on her face, she was no longer willing to go out, nor was she willing to contact her friends, she was almost in the laboratory every day.
2017, Tang Xiaolin was 32 years old. At this time, her friends also graduated one after another. They worked in all walks of life. Many of them became the best, and many of them got married and had children. She has published 7 papers and has been doing experiments for 7 years, but she still has not obtained her doctoral diploma.
Applications and rejections again and again, she put countless efforts into vain. She didn't understand what else she had to do.
She had collapsed and cried again and again in the middle of the night, and went to the laboratory as usual the next day to continue doing experiments. She also thought of giving up, but when she thought that if she gave up at this time, all her 9 years of research results would be invalid. She devoted all her 9 years of youth to the laboratory, and no one would be willing to give up!
On September 30, 2017, Tang Xiaolin attended an academic exchange meeting in California .
The next morning, the classmates who were walking with her discovered that Tang Xiaolin was missing. When the teachers found something wrong, they immediately called the police.
But it was too late. When they saw Tang Xiaolin again, the cheerful, smiling, stubborn and hardworking girl had become a cold corpse.
Tang Xiaolin's parents rushed to the United States after hearing the news. They were heartbroken when they faced their daughter's body.
Later, international students discovered that after learning about Tang Xiaolin's death, Saviz Safarian, not only did not express his opinion, but instead quickly deleted the social dynamics related to her, which made people feel something was wrong.
At the request of many international students and Tang Xiaolin's parents, the University of Utah can only entrust the Florida deadly firm to investigate Tang Xiaolin's mentors and related personnel.
Soon, a 6-page survey result was released. In order to help students complete their experiments, Savez Saffarian squeezed students for a long time, and let students compete for experimental projects. Even though the students fulfilled his request well, he still refused to graduate. Tang Xiaolin was one of the victims. It was because of her outstanding ability that the tutor delayed her graduation application again and again in order to keep her free labor.
. Tang Xiaolin submitted a graduation application before committing suicide, but Savez Safarian refused again. This was also the "last straw" that crushed Tang Xiaolin. She finally collapsed and finally chose to jump down from the Golden Gate Bridge.
Finally, after investigation, it was found that the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Utah had serious management problems. Tang Xiaolin's doctoral qualification examination was maliciously delayed for 4 years. In order to keep her free labor, the tutor did not arrange a clear paper plan for her until the eighth academic year. Not only Tang Xiaolin was the only one. The entire team members were free labor squeezed by the tutor. After this incident, the University of Utah made rectifications on the Department of Physics and Astronomy. They canceled Saviz Safarian's admission qualification, changed the department chair, and posthumously awarded Tang Xiaolin's doctoral degree.
It’s a pity that this person has passed away, and the girl can no longer see the graduation certificate she earned after working hard for 9 years.
It is really difficult to succeed. For excellent people, they face greater pressure. Under extreme high pressure, perhaps taking a step back, she can see a different scenery. Sometimes, taking a step back is not about weakness, but about going a further path.
But Tang Xiaolin didn't think of this at that time. She could only feel wronged and constantly put pressure on herself. She wanted to go further and finally paid the price of her life. Such a tragic ending is thought-provoking and heartbreaking!
