Just yesterday, another Chinese student army who was struggling overseas fell:
A Chinese female student passed away overseas. Many foreign media defined her as "abnormal death" after her disappearance, and the last scene she left for people was to stay up late in the library in the early morning to study...
(She left us)
As we all know, recently, it has been an important period for major Australian universities to enter the Final preparation period. Many students choose to review and study seriously. Similarly, they have entered the peak period for exam preparation in the United States.
And the bad news came quietly...
On May 18, US time, news of a Chinese female student missing from Santa Barbara (UCSB), one of the world's top 100 prestigious schools spread across social networks.
The missing Chinese girl Annie Wang is a sophomore psychology student. She has a lively and cheerful personality on weekdays... No one would have thought that such a thing would happen to her.
After her missing for several days, her roommate reported the situation to the school and searched for people through social networks. Santa Barbara also issued information to help find people.
html There was still no news from Annie Wang on 21st, and her roommate finally chose to ask the police for help.And the last message about Annie Wang was around 3 a.m. on the 18th. Annie's friend described that before disappearing -
she was still learning!
At noon the next day, there was no news from Annie Wang.
It is understood that Annie Wang is friendly and is a member of the local student organization Alpha Phi Omega fraternity . On the night of
Alpha Phi Omega fraternity president Bryant Pahl pointed out that Annie Wang is an outstanding leader of the association and she registered for several events last weekend but did not attend, which was very abnormal for her.
After repeatedly unable to contact her, her roommate called the police for help this Monday.
On May 22, local time in the United States, after a large-scale search by the Santa Barbara County police, after conducting a large-scale search, Annie Wang's body was found near the Cold Springs Canyon in , Santa Ynez Mountains, at around 2:30 pm on the 22nd. After
, more detailed information came - the county police station determined that she was near the Cold Springs Bridge based on multiple information. After the police and the search team conducted a search, at 2:30 pm on the 22nd, found her body near the Cold Springs Valley...
After multiple confirmations, the police initially identified her death by suicide and had contacted her family.
and speculated that it is likely due to excessive learning pressure.
International students are unable to bear the pressure and commit suicide. In February 2017, they also joined the Santa Barbara. Another Chinese student, Weiwei Liu, and Annie's senior sister, also chose to commit suicide and ended their lives.
She studied in German and psychology majors at the school, at the same age as 20.
But she confessed on her personal Weibo that "I am an overwhelmed coward" and "cannot bear the weight given by life." On February 12 last year, she chose to terminate her young life in the dormitory.
At that time, Liu Weiwei was found dead in the Santa Cruz dormitory. Police investigation concluded that Liu Weiwei's death was caused by suicide.
They are always reminding you that
is talking about the popularity of going abroad. Every year, hundreds of thousands of international students are pouring into the world. 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 increasingly heavy, the foreign environment is unfriendly to Chinese students, suffering from depression, and eventually chooses to commit suicide.
Reflect the previous report that in March this year, Zhen Meimei (pseudonym), who went abroad to study, suffered from severe depression because she was unable to adapt to the foreign English teaching environment and changes in her life at home and abroad. Although she was sent back to China in time, she was unable to retain this young life in the end. She chose to jump off the building...
Also due to depression, in December 2017, Tian Miaoxiu (transliteration), a Chinese student at the famous Ivy League school in the United States, committed suicide in her apartment during Final Ji.
December 5, 2017 , , , , the University of Toronto, Canada, a Chinese student also chose to commit suicide during the Final period;
October 2017 , Tang Xiaolin, who was studying for a Ph.D. in biology at the University of Utah in the United States, chose to jump from Golden Gate Bridge because she was unable to bear the academic pressure...
December 2016 , Liu Kaifeng, an international student with excellent character and academic performance at Ohio State University in the United States, committed suicide at home;
November 2016 , University of Toronto, Canada, Yang Zhihui, an international student from Shanghai, China, committed suicide;
January 2016 , Xiao Lu (transliteration) of the Chinese student at Booth School of Business of the University of Chicago, committed suicide by jumping into the ice lake;
January 27, 2015 , Yale University, USA Chinese student Wang Luchang jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge into the San Francisco Bay to commit suicide;
....
The fact that suicide is a very small number after all, and the proportion is very small compared to the huge overseas study population.
However, this phenomenon is something we cannot let go - How can a person choose to end his life in a state of despair? According to a data survey by Yale University, the depressive tendency of Chinese students is as high as 45%, which means that although we see smiling faces every day, there is a gloom behind them.
1. Worrying that I have let down my family's expectations;
2. Worrying that I cannot achieve my expected goals;
3. Worrying that I will really become like in the news, spending millions of dollars abroad, and my monthly salary is only a few thousand yuan in the end...
4. I have a lot of hardships in my heart, but on the surface, I am still sunny...
Depression, pressure, and destroying my soul all the time. , This is how depression occurs...
Australian Final Season, please treat international students well
Ask 100 international students most feared by going abroad, 99 will tell you Final, and there is another possibility that they are afraid of everything...
If God gives you another chance, will you choose to give up the strict entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient entry and lenient study abroad?
Some friends said that in fact, the abbreviations of various schools have already predicted the cruelty of Final:
USYD = U Sleep You Die
You sleep, just hang
UNSW = U Never Sleep Well
You will never sleep well
Final is scary? It is a chain of countless dues, countless assignments, and final tests.
escaped one, but could not escape the second one, and could only passively struggle in waves of offensives...
Some people say that only when you reach Final, you will truly experience the "fun" of studying abroad
library, don't consider it, anyway, you can't grab a seat...
If you grab one, congratulations, it's best to bring a insulation bucket. You must not leave here except to go to the toilet.
Of course, some people have taken a different approach and simply don’t have a seat. A tent is better than a thousand troops.
If you are tired of studying and the library environment is too depressing, what will happen if you go out for a while?
If you take a nap on the lawn for a while, you may become someone else's review table...
Final, you must keep your books even when you are on dates...
Every time you arrive at Final, the business of the coffee shop is very good. After staying for several nights, the students with chicken coops, big eyes and dark circles rush to the coffee shop while yelling, I can still last for 10 days!
Slowly, many jokes about Final emerged:
As long as the school is selected well, the end of each year is like the college entrance examination!
Sit up in dying illness, and the final exam questions scare you to tears!
In China, teachers will set key points. In foreign countries, teachers will give you a book...
What is the point of learning to sleep?
Drinking a hundred cups of coffee, what is the heart beating and bursting?
This is Final. At the beginning, the whole person became haggard and trance...
Then he became dark circles at home, and his eyes were obvious...
Finally, he gave up treatment directly...
The next step is to faint directly...
Faced with Final, some people are too stressed and get up to gastrointestinal discomfort, and even bleed in the exam room...
Lost dream of studying abroad
Previous article "The Lost Dream of Study Abroad: To the 200,000 Chinese Students Struggling in the United States" portrays the study abroad life quite realistically!
Original text:
"I want to give up now because I feel that the world has abandoned me, and I am gradually moving away from this world."
2017 Open Doors data statistics report pointed out that between 2016 and 2017, the number of students studying abroad in colleges and universities in the United States reached 1,078,822. These international students who came to study alone in the United States are vividly called "parachine boys".
You have to work two jobs a day before you can go home for dinner. There is a lot of work pressure and a lot of life pressure. I don’t work hard but I have to sleep on the street...
I could have persisted if I was not in good health, but I found that the symptoms were too serious some time ago, and the doctor didn’t even let me go to school.
has to pay 900 US dollars a month, and the loan is 10 years, and it is full of debt and is exhausted. I have been to many countries and have raised three cats, but I still have no interest in doing anything.
Who do these overseas study parties who have traveled to the ocean to study abroad at a young age, really understand their psychological state?
"Born as a human being, I'm sorry"
In recent years, news of suicides of overseas students has been constantly being heard. While we commemorate the lost young lives, the health problems of overseas students have once again become rampant. The deepening academic pressure and increasingly haggard bodies are more worthy of attention are psychological problems.
A survey released by Yale researchers in 2013 found that 45% of Chinese students reported having symptoms of depression and 29% said they had symptoms of anxiety. This rate is surprising, as the overall proportion of depression and anxiety among American college students is about 13%.
"Depression is endless all year round, like sinking deep in the quagmire over the knee. As long as you stop struggling, you will be submerged." An international student suffering from depression said himself.
Some international students suffering from depression are complaining about their experiences on the Internet.
@Aman Overeating, losing hair, extreme drowsiness, panic and palpitations, not going out for a week without contacting the outside world, feel that every day of living is a torment, afraid of contacting non-Chinese people, unable to concentrate on doing anything, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing. I think I'm depressed, but I've only been abroad for two months.
is ridiculous: I choose to be autistic, move all the people I know on Weibo, use them as a tree hole, and talk to people about these things, which will make others negatively capable, and my family doesn’t like to listen, so I am the only one...
@jzbxercxhj I have three Peking University children around me who went abroad to study and returned to China depressed. There is a big reason for this because they have always been eager for themselves.If you fail to reach the desired state in the expected time, you will urge yourself. A sister was a little depressed when she was studying literature in Cambridge, feeling that she couldn't even find a person who talked to her. Can you find friends who can really communicate with each other abroad and try your luck? I have a lot of social, but I am willing to be honest and feel pain in my heart. I am not afraid of wasting other people's time. I am actually only one who judges it. I felt that she really understood all my hard work because she came here too. So we admire each other and cherish each other. Such friendship came a little late when I was already seriously depressed. But I am still grateful to God. There is such a person who makes me feel that I am not lonely and tolerated and understood.
@CLEVER I was in a very depressed state for the first six months. No one talks, they are all alone on their birthdays. I don’t want to drink and communicate with others, and I have no interest in anything I do. I was afraid that I would not 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 getting much better now. I met new friends. Although I will not feel the same intimacy as before, I am feeling much better now. I feel that my depression should be relieved...
The pressure faced by international students,
It is really not possible for everyone to understand...
The rumors spread on the Internet that "the study abroad party is playing every day, traveling and shopping, but not studying." In fact, the majority of international students are just more willing to share the positive side of life and leave the bitterness and depression to themselves.
There are always some keyboard warriors on the Internet who say that most of the overseas students who go abroad are poor students, and they can just pay for a diploma if they pay. If your diploma is so easy to get along, please give me a good idea?
And those who think that international students drive luxury cars, go to nightclubs, and live a life of luxury... I admit that a small number of international students are indeed like this. Among the international students, there are more hard-working students who work part-time to relieve family pressure while staying up late to get through papers. Lack of sleep, staying up late, and often staying up all night in the library has almost become the norm for North American school students.
Some people even have psychological problems due to fatigue, loneliness and economic stress, but are afraid to seek help because they are afraid of affecting themselves staying in the United States.
Princeton University once held a photography exhibition called "The Other Side of Me". Many international students pour out the true side of themselves hidden behind their smiles through the combination of images and words.
"Sometimes we just need a smile or a word of encouragement, rather than asking about our grades or interpersonal relationships over and over again." "Even if it is just a detail, it can convey some warmth."
After reading these photos, people realized that perhaps we can regret the extreme practices of some international students, but we must never ignore the dilemma they are in.
is another final season. Without further ado, I can only wish all international students a smooth Final season!
gives you a test master,
wishes everyone pass the level!
pressure drops to 0!
