Suicide in China High Drama Indeed

China is fast catching up to Japan in more ways than one – some 300,000 Chinese are thought to kill themselves annually, a quarter of the global total, now being at or over those of suicide-loving Japan at an estimated 23 per 100,000 annually.
In fact, just as city skylines are soaring, so are suicide rates, and it is from these very buildings that many are choosing to cast themselves, so much so that Chinese emergency services sadly seem to be becoming very well equipped to deal with them…
The drama ensuing from these acts of urban theatre has become a staple of the Chinese media, but voices of sympathy are beginning to give way to voices of criticism at these self-indulgent “highjackings” of the public for acts of personal drama.

Silly people. The best form of suicide is to join an indy hardcore pro-wrestling or become stuntmen in action movies. At least you guys will get money for trying to kill yourself.
Easy to keep the potential suiciders from simple attention whores from these pics.
028, what a waste
Nerd girl and good look ,sad but...not too high to die..!?
第二张真是亮瞎我的狗眼1`
Ridiculous.
If you want to die jump, don't stay there until someone arrives to "save you"... -_-'
so...anyone actually died in these pics? you know, cuz, that was the main reason i read this article
There was a guy with his head smashed on the ground. He may have survived, tho.
lol first guy is freestyln' his way to hell
First pic: LOL epic leap
hey i love chinese peope dont kill yourself
msg me at montesquieu_77@hotmail.com we'll talk.
The man saluting to the camera wasnt even trying suicide, he actually went up there and threw the suicide attemptee down because he got tired of the traffic jam
Some of them just want attention...
Pic #23. No one gives a damn about a guy standing on the side of a freeway.
dude, see at the bottom of the picture...
Half the bridges don't even look fatal. Like that one cop in the very back in the second pic. He's laughing his ass off. Like all that guy is going to accomplish is falling into that disgusting Chinese river.
China needs to build designated suicide towers cause you know, in China everything has its place.
welcome to capitalism..*sarcasm inside*
Less chat more splat
I don't know why those guise suicide that way... I mean... If I'd like to suicide I'd just jump! I won't wait til the police comes to get me down. They're just a bunch of idiots.
Let's make "The Suicide Manual"... I mean... It's better for us... There must be more fresh air.
Signs of a depressed population. Strangely enough, one would be led to think Japan to be the most "happy" nation in the world with their high living standards statistics.
People in poor countries seem generally unhappy and even angry, since making your way in life is quite difficult. As countries become richer, their people becomes depressed because making a living becomes too easy and unrewarding. The middle ground is probably the people in developing countries, where they may be obliviously content with their own lives at the cost of a few corrupt ones taking the largest share of the country's wealth.
What a problematic bunch we are huh?
lol china! stupid fucking crack whores!

their reaction time is better than japan
POOR QUALITY suicides.
most of this suicide seek attention.
they actually want a lot of people try to persuade them not to jump or more witness to see them go off in hoping more people cry for them.
real suicide would be very detail planned so nobody can know when to help, write suicide note in paper or in social network site and so on.
my bet on picture 13, the guy really jump before any crowd even there to persuade or help. once they wait for the crowd, its just a pathetic attention seeker.
I wish you could step back from that ledge my friend............
They're not commiting suicide, they just want to jump onto the inflatable bouncy thing.
It's the suicide club, China branch. Next time, maybe they'll try the train next time.
"The Gods of Olympus have abandoned me. Now there is no hope." Replace the "me" with "thee" and I guess that pretty much sums up the pics in article.
Let them kill themselves.
There are too many humans out there.
Chinese like extreme sports
High drama? Please, you guys don't even know what happened in that situation.
well im board with life and i live in a first world country, all i have to look forward to is a 8-12 hour shift of work to make enough money to live and than sleep.
i know i will kill myself at some point.
i could never even imagine living in the third world making jack shit having nothing and living in hell and wanting to go on
well id say to those who say if they really wanted to do suicide they would do it somewhere else in their own room or something. seriously dude. its a lot easier to kill yourself by jumpin off from 1000000000000000feet tall building or from that bridge than cutting yourself to death or even hang yourself seriously i imagine that would be painful. id rather jump on that bridge or jump front of train. like that train thing. seriously it would be instant kill without pain.
also in asia there is alot fcked up areas what cant even be called Ghetto. they're worse. most of these public suiciders most likely are just trying to get some help or just trying to see if anyone cares.(oh noees theyre all aloooneee)
so basicly jareth ur wrong ;P there is many ways to do suicide but these kind of ones are actually best and fastest ones. especially for the poor. they cant afford gun. heck hanging is painful. cutting.. big no no. seriously most of *quick and easy* ways arent available for all. think about it. ^^
If they're going to do it "quick and easy" they should just fucking jump. Why stay there watching the rescue crew deploy that airbag?
maybe they just like high places...and jumping on a airbag can be fun xD
There should be more pics like #13 .Nothing bad in some dead people right ?
i agree. number 13 is the only one that shows wat it looks like to she them go splat.
That first pic really needs to be in a vipper challenge.
Those people want to kill themselves, why not just let them do it, it's their choices. Beside, China is overpopulated, why not let the population get smaller.
The problem is that these people are doing it in places where they'll bother everyone else.
Yeah! Imagine a 50kg to 100kg person hitting your windscreen while you're driving on the road. Hellofway to start a pileup.
Pics needs Vipper challenge
Maybe we should go there to fuck all suicide women, possibly that changes their mind^^
Only those who aren't fugly>_<
That's so not suicidal. They were doubtful enough to wait long enough for the cameras and cranes to come.
first pic was from an actual drama lol.
I thought he looked far to handsome to be killing himself...
Chinese are so dramatic.Ha,ha,ha...
