Three intensive "suicide" phenomena in the past 75 years

"Naihe Bridge" in 2024

In May 2024, more than ten bridge jumping tragedies occurred in Taiyuan City, the capital of Shanxi Province. Local insiders revealed that from May 10 to May 21, people committed suicide by jumping into the river almost every day. Faced with this serious social problem, the Chinese Communist Party officials not only prohibited people from discussing the causes of this problem, but also continued to delete and block posts to cover up the truth. At that time, some netizens left a message saying, "There are too many unfinished buildings in Taiyuan. Many people spent all their savings to buy a house and ended up with nothing. Maybe sometimes life is more difficult to face than death." "kfs (developer), A scam conspired by banks and the government to murder them."

Indeed, over the past 40 years, the CCP has forcibly expropriated rural land, reclaimed the land at low prices, and sold it at high prices. This is called "land finance." The CCP claims that it took 40 years to complete what others have accomplished in two decades. century-old urbanization process. However, anything that goes against common sense will have a price. With high pollution, high corruption, and high cost, the Great Leap Forward-style economy was completed by killing the goose and seizing the eggs. It is unsustainable. The bubble has burst, housing prices have plummeted, and the collapse is a disaster. just began. In addition, since the CCP's epidemic lockdown, the economy has been in recession, the number of unemployed has increased, and college students cannot find jobs after graduation. People are under heavy pressure.

According to mainland media reports, river jumping incidents have occurred not only in Taiyuan, Shanxi, but also on the People's Bridge in Guangzhou, the Yongjiang River Bridge in Nanning, Guangxi, and the Yangtze River Bridge in Chongqing. In the face of frequent suicides, Chinese Communist Party officials downplayed the situation and said, "The behavior of jumping into the river is due to personal reasons." Netizens left messages one after another: "Who caused the personal cause?" "How can personal behavior not be forced by such a dirty social environment?" "It's pinching, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial respiration, and electrocution. Defibrillation, just don’t want to let go of your neck!”

In addition to jumping into rivers, suicides by jumping off bridges also occur frequently across mainland China. According to netizens in Yibin, Sichuan, in May this year, there were still incidents of people jumping off the bridge for three consecutive days. On May 24, a Shandong netizen on the mainland Douyin platform said, "We have several people jumping off the Yellow River here a month. "The rescue team can't even go home!" A Hunan netizen said, "I used to dance every day, but now I'm blocked. This behavior will cause a chain reaction."

Looking back at history, today's intensive suicide incidents in many provinces and cities are not isolated. The "Five Antis" movement in 1952, the laid-off workers in 1990, and the intellectuals ("stinky old nine" and "reactionary authorities") during the "Cultural Revolution" all experienced similar intensive "suicide" phenomena. The "suicide" of Falun Gong practitioners in the past 25 years ("beating to death is in vain, beating to death counts as suicide") is not an isolated phenomenon. The CCP of 72 years ago is essentially the same as the CCP of today. They regard people's lives as nothing and ruthlessly cover up the truth. The CCP is the CCP and has never changed at its core.

Shanghai during the "Five Antis" Movement

In 1952, the Chinese Communist Party launched the "Five Antis" campaign against business people, which is the so-called "anti-bribery, anti-tax evasion, anti-theft of state property, anti-cutting work, and anti-theft of national economic intelligence." Everyone in the business community passed the test.

The so-called "anti-tax evasion" refers to the verification of taxes payable by enterprises starting from the opening of Shanghai in the Guangxu period. With this kind of algorithm, even if the capitalists lose all their money, they cannot afford to pay "taxes". If they want to die, they cannot jump into the Huangpu River because they will be said to have gone to Hong Kong. Their families will continue to be persecuted, so they have no choice but to jump off the building and die, so that the CCP can see the corpse. Heartbroken. It is said that no one dared to walk on either side of the high-rise buildings in Shanghai at that time, for fear of being suddenly killed by someone jumping from above.

Taking Shanghai as an example, no fewer than 10,000 people committed suicide, suffered strokes and suffered mental disorders during the "Five Antis" movement. In just 65 days from the beginning of the movement on January 25, 1952, to April 1, 876 people committed suicide, an average of more than 13 people per day. At that time, "the most common methods of suicide were jumping from buildings, jumping into rivers, being electrocuted, and hanging from the neck." The sale of poisonous drugs and sleeping pills was prohibited, and the possibility of dying peacefully was eliminated.

Faced with the phenomenon of intensive suicides, the CCP did not find the reason from the "Five Antis" movement itself and give up the cruel communist movement. Instead, it made the "Five Antis" targets unable to survive and die, with the purpose of plundering industrial and commercial assets to the maximum extent . They regard the lives of people in the business community as nothing.

laid-off workers in the 1990s

After experiencing many movements such as the Three Antis, the Five Antis, the Anti-Rightists, and the Cultural Revolution, China was devastated, the economy was on the verge of collapse, and most state-owned enterprises were heavily in debt. In the 1990s, in order to survive, the CCP began to implement "state-owned enterprise restructuring", forcing state-owned enterprises to "joint-stock restructuring", and buying out seniority and dismissing state-owned enterprise employees at low prices. This not only deprived employees of the right to work and the right to survive, but also source of livelihood. These people are called "laid-off workers". They face pension insurance and medical problems, and fall to the bottom of society. This is where their suffering begins.

According to the article "After the "Iron Rice Bowl" was smashed, the ups and downs and confusion of a generation of workers" by Jiemian News, "Since the decision on reform was introduced in May last year, in just a few months, millions of state-owned enterprise workers have The intensity of the layoffs was beyond expectations - from 1998 to 2000, there were 7 million to 9 million workers almost every year." Statistics on the number of registered workers in state-owned enterprises showed that in 1999, it was 83.36 million. By 2002, this measure The data has dropped to 69.24 million people.

After the CCP seized power in 1949, it took over the enterprises left by the National Government and foreign businessmen, and gradually seized enterprises from capitalists and converted private enterprises into communists.

In 1952, the CCP used the "Five Antis" to purge the capitalists. In Shanghai, the birthplace of China's modern industry, it took away enterprises and branded them as "state-owned enterprises" of the CCP. Many workers believed the CCP’s propaganda and happily went to work in “state-owned” factories and became “masters.”

However, under the so-called "planned economic system", China has always practiced "low wages, low consumption, and high accumulation." From 1952 to 1978, the average annual salary growth of employees was only 0.38%, while the annual accumulation rate ranged from 21.4 to 36.5%. For a long time, the wages of state-owned enterprise workers have not included social benefits such as medical care, pension, children's education, and housing. The elimination of private ownership and communism is not limited to capitalists, but also targets every worker, farmer and urban citizen. As for who controls the shared assets (publicly owned assets) and how to use them, the people, who are called the "masters" and "owners", have no say at all.

More than thirty years later, also in Shanghai, a large number of industrial workers were laid off due to the closure, conversion and restructuring of their factories. In mainland China, "laid-off" is synonymous with "unemployment". In a free society, unemployment includes unemployment insurance and unemployment benefits, but in the Chinese Communist Party’s dictionary, there is no “unemployment” under the socialist system, only “unemployment” and “laid-off”. Not being able to find a job is called "unemployment", and losing a job is called "laying off." However, the party government has no obligation to be unemployed or laid off.

In the 1990s, more than one million state-owned workers in Shanghai were called "laid-off workers" from "owners". Shanghai's industrial workers have become "living fossils" that witness the CCP's violent plunder of people's survival resources. In the predicament of having no source of survival, many "laid-off workers" who had no voice and no choice chose to commit suicide to end their suffering. According to an emergency proposal issued by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in September 1998, "Pay Attention to the Tragedy of Family Suicides, Triggering Social Unrest," there were 225,200 suicide cases and about 156,720 deaths in that year alone.

According to the "Beijing Youth Daily" article "Preventing Suicide at a Younger Age" on April 9, 2000 (reporter Li Tong) pointed out: "A document at the Second Sino-US Psychiatry Academic Conference being held in Beijing shows that in In China, the combined burden of depression and suicide ranks first among all diseases. The number one cause of death among people aged 15 to 35 is suicide. Every year, 200,000 people in China end their lives by suicide. The World Health Organization estimates that 200,000 people account for one-fifth of the total number of suicides worldwide every year.”

The article "Those who only talk about the Cultural Revolution but not about being laid off are heartless - China's suicide rate was among the highest in the world in the 1990s" by "Yanhuang Zhijia" pointed out that "China's suicide rate was at the highest level in the world in the 1990s, and it was also the highest since the founding of the People's Republic of China. , higher than the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and higher than the Cultural Revolution, but most of the people who committed suicide were rural women and laid-off workers, unknown people, so they naturally could not leave a mark. "

It seems that suicide occurs in both rural and urban areas. In fact, in the 1990s, in a family, the husband was often recruited into a factory while the wife still lived in the countryside. This was a common situation in mainland China at that time. If the husband loses his job and becomes a laid-off worker, it means that the family's source of livelihood is gone. As a result, a large number of "rural women and laid-off workers" committed suicide.

From the "Five Antis" movement in 1952, to the laid-off workers in 1990, to today's "jumping into rivers" and "jumping off bridges" in many provinces and cities, the truth behind the mass suicides of people has not been widely known, and the fundamental reasons behind it are not allowed to be touched upon. . In the 1950s, Shanghai businessmen were forced and humiliated because they could not pay the taxes required by the CCP, so they had no choice but to jump to their deaths. Chen Yi, the mayor of Shanghai at the time, sat on the sofa with a cup of tea every night and asked leisurely: "How many paratroopers (referring to the "Five Anti" targets who jumped from the building) are there today?" The pain and heaviness of the Shanghai capitalists were reflected in the CCP officials He was jokingly called "airborne soldier". In the 1990s, the CCP attributed the suicide of laid-off workers to "depression."

Today's people who jump from rivers and bridges are pointed out for "personal reasons." The CCP puts up a sign on the bridge that says "Jumping into rivers is prohibited. Violators will be fined 1,000 yuan." It informs those who commit suicide that even if they die, they still owe 1,000 yuan. fine. The CCP 72 years ago and the CCP today both cover up the truth for the sake of power and treat people's lives as nothing. Its ruthlessness has never changed and will never change. In the 1950s, in order to prevent more people from committing suicide, the CCP set up guard posts in parks, riversides, rooftops, etc. In the 1990s, during the unemployment wave of laid-off workers and after a large number of suicides, the CCP claimed to provide relief benefits. However, according to Wu Qingjun, a professor at the School of Labor and Human Resources of Renmin University of China, he and the research team went to two provincial capital cities in the Northeast for investigation. They found that , 58.5% of laid-off workers have not received unemployment benefits. Today in 2024, the CCP saw an increasing number of people jumping from buildings and rivers, and immediately added building guards, bridge guards, and bridge patrols.

In a normal country in the world, when so many people commit suicide, in addition to finding ways to prevent them from committing suicide, they will also investigate the causes of suicide, care for them, and help them get out of their difficulties. The CCP’s genes are destined to adopt the policies and techniques of “cheating,” “inciting,” “fighting,” “robbing,” “destroying,” and “control” as always when faced with the problem of intensive suicides. Whether it is people’s speech, thoughts, behavior, health, life, work, education, or people’s lives, “cheating”, “inciting”, “fighting”, “robbing”, “destroying” and “controlling” are the CCP’s policies for “serving the people”. The true definition of "service".

Shakespeare wrote in "King John" that a foundation built in a pool of blood will never be stable, and a life bought by the death of others will never be invincible. The Western philosopher Aristotle once said that suicide is unjust and immoral to the country.

In addition to the three waves of intensive suicides mentioned above, during the three-year epidemic lockdown period that began in 2020, some people committed suicide due to the lack of medical treatment due to the lockdown, some committed suicide due to depression due to long-term lockdown, and some small business owners committed suicide due to depression. Debt-ridden and unsustainable, he commits suicide.

Although not necessarily all of the news about "suicides" can be disclosed, there is no explanation of some "suicides" in mainland China, on the Internet, in the media and other public channels. ——On the overseas Minghui website , 119 messages can be found under the title "Falun Gong practitioners commit suicide". Falun Gong practitioners who believe in "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" have been repeatedly "committed suicide" in prison because they did not give up their beliefs. Some Some were force-fed to death, some had their organs harvested, and some were beaten to death. These inhumane tortures have been concealed in mainland China for 25 years. In the 75 years since its founding, the CCP has launched many campaigns, including land reform, suppression of counterrevolutionaries, the Korean War, the Three Antis and Five Antis, anti-rightism, the Cultural Revolution, the June 4th Incident, and the persecution of Falun Gong and organ harvesting from living people. The number of Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted to death in the past 25 years is estimated to be in the millions. In addition to Falun Gong practitioners, statistics released after the Cultural Revolution show that the number of abnormal deaths of Chinese people caused by the CCP in 75 years is as high as 80 million, which is more than the total number of deaths in the two world wars.
