Suicides in China

Summary

Over 1.5 million Chinese women try to commit suicide every year. This suicide often occurs in the rural areas, and they are more than the normal rate in the cities. The cause of this huge case is because “the availability of poisons” and few of them kill themselves immediately. The business deals of china have many relations to the culture and traditions have a big impact on the women’s lives. These because of the old traditions for ex: brides are sometimes bribed and they become a member of different family. Due to their committing in suicides female brides in China have had a lot of conflict between their husbands. Many Chinese citizens have agreed about this issue that “traditional values are a problem” in China. Women in China relieve them themselves by killing themselves believing that they would have some pride. However the government is having many difficulties in the old traditions and culture.

Main Idea

• The Chinese women try to commit suicide every year.
• The women are sold from their parents from old costumes and cultural views
• The government has difficulties in solving these cases
• The Chinese culture and traditions discriminate the woman’s lives by selling them to different families.

Comment

My opinion on this article that it was a good one because a lot of Chinese women are discriminated in China because of this many of them have committed suicide. The article mostly gives examples about the Chinese women how do they commit their suicides and what are their conflicts in life. I would really like to know in how to do they help these Chinese women. How can they stop or reduce these suicide attempts what are the possible and impossible ways in doing so.
