Suicide of a 21 Year Old Girl
This happened in Hong Kong, where large-scale political protests has recently erupted. The victim, a 21-year-old undergrad student studying music, left her last words on a wall. Finally, she jumped off from about 26 floors above ground. After the police arrived, they covered her last words with black sheets of plastic, and told the media that she killed herself due to romance problems.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Suicide of a 21 Year Old Girl
Aww, poor girl. Are there any Chinese members who could translate? There's a video but I can't save it: https://hk.news.appledaily.com/break...90629/59771130          |

Re: Suicide of a 21 Year Old Girl
From her pictures alone, she seemed like a sweet girl. Hope her cause was worth dying for (but I doubt it).  |

Re: Suicide of a 21 Year Old Girl
Here’s a rough translation of the note: To the people of Hong Kong: Although it has been a long struggle, we should never forget that we must adhere to the ideals we always held so dearly. [I] sincerely demand [the Chinese government] to revoke the [extradition] bill, debunk the “riot theory” (Chinese government’s public stand of the protesters being rioters manipulated by the West), release the student protesters, fire Carrie Lam (Chief Executive of Hong Kong), punish the police. Hopefully I could use my own life to exchange for the fulfillment of two million Hong Kong people’s wishes. Please, keep fighting. X.X. |

Re: Suicide of a 21 Year Old Girl
It is really weird seeing news from my hometown reach DR. I know politics isn't exactly the focus here but in fact, this is the second suicide case this month where people took their lives to protest against the government. To give a bit of context, 200 million people took to the streets two weeks ago to rally against a pro-Chinese extradition bill. Yet those in charge are ignoring all the demands and it's really sad to see how this dispiriting situation turned into downright tragedy here...

Re: Suicide of a 21 Year Old Girl
Who leaves a suicide note that like? does anyone else think she was tossed off the building and the killer wrote that on the wall?
