Every year during the graduation season, there is a common hot topic, that is, employment.
With the expansion of enrollment in major universities, the number of college students has increased, and the employment problem has become more and more intense.
In order to successfully find employment, students work hard, in addition to listening carefully to lectures in class and achieving good results, they also have to force themselves to take various certificates as a "stepping stone" for employment.
People who have come all the way from the wave of test-taking education know that if you want to have a good job, you need a diploma, and the most critical step before getting a graduation certificate is the graduation thesis.
Usually, a well-written essay indirectly affects the speed of your graduation and your mood.
Imagine if your thesis has been rejected by the tutor, asked to revise it many times, taking up your time and not saying it, and even bringing pressure to students with poor psychological quality and going to extremes.
On April 27, 2019, on a clear afternoon, several people with dusty faces sat at the door of Baoji Vocational and Technical College, crying loudly, and claiming: "Because of a paper, my son's life was killed, I don't want you to compensate, I just want to see the teacher." ”

Zhao Lei's family
The school gate attracted countless onlookers, and the cries of grief were particularly harsh, stinging the most fragile nerves in the hearts of the onlookers.
Subsequently, the police arrived after hearing the news, and the school staff also began to evacuate the crowd and appease the "troublemakers" before revealing a sad story.
It turned out that Zhao Lei, the troublemaker's child, was a student of this academy.
Zhao Lei, as a student at Baoji Vocational and Technical College, was supposed to graduate in 2019. Unexpectedly, I often ate the teacher's "closed door soup" on the issue of the thesis.
Zhao Lei is a sensitive child, and after repeated revisions of the paper were still returned, he actually ended his life in an extreme way.
In April 2019, the police received an alarm that a body was found in a village in Nanshan, Baoji, and there was a pesticide bottle not far from the deceased, apparently taking poison and dying.
After many identifications, it was determined that the deceased was Zhao Lei.

When Zhao Lei's family learned of this, they were in pain, so they would pull up a banner at the school gate, and they wanted to ask the school for an explanation.
So, what's going on here?
Born in poverty
In 1996, Zhao Lei was born in an ordinary family in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, with an older brother, his parents were ordinary workers, with average income, but he was extremely fond of him, as long as it was a toy he liked, he had everything he needed.
Although Zhao Lei grew up in the doting of his parents, he was not squeamish. He knows that it is not easy for his parents to earn money to support their families, so they can save in their daily lives.
Zhao Lei usually doesn't talk much, but he can always talk to the point, and the only drawback is that he is a little sensitive. However, this did not affect his relationship with his classmates.
He was a sensible child, and when he was in middle school, there was a heavy snow that crushed the school cafeteria and the school was closed.
At that time, many of the students' parents were driving their children home, Zhao Lei considered that the university was closed, there was no car at home, if he called his parents, he had to let his parents ride an electric car to pick him up.
"It's so cold, I can't call my parents, if they come to pick me up in an electric car, I might as well walk home by myself!"
In this way, the sensible Zhao Lei walked all the way and walked 20 kilometers home.
Walking home like this, seeing his parents, Zhao Lei did not mention anything about walking, and said that he took the bus home to reassure his parents.
Zhao Lei's academic performance has always been the middle in the class, because of his poor math scores, so when he took the college entrance examination, he faced a choice. The last three books with high tuition fees were still a junior college.
"With your grades, you can go to a three-book, if your family's financial conditions are OK, you can consider it," the teacher told him.
"Teacher, you allow me to think again," Zhao Lei told the teacher, his eyes full of hesitation. After thinking about it, Zhao Lei decided to go to a college that could reduce the burden on his family.
In this way, he applied for a local vocational college, that is, Baoji Vocational and Technical College.

University Life
After going to college, Zhao Lei's performance was as sensible as ever, and he usually subsidized his family through work-study, and every time he called home, he was very happy.
"Mom, you don't have to send me money this month, I found a job as a tutor, and now I can earn my own living expenses!" Zhao Lei told his mother.
When my mother heard that he was so sensible, she was very relieved and proud to have such a sensible child.
Every time I chatted with my neighbors, my mother proudly told my neighbors: "My family Zhao Lei has won a scholarship this semester, and his living expenses are all earned by himself!" There was a look of happiness on his face as he spoke.
In the three years of university life, Zhao Lei lived a very fulfilling life, he never slackened off academically, not only had excellent grades, but was often rated as a three-good student.
Talking about the future, according to Zhao Lei's classmates, "Zhao Lei has always been a good student recognized by us, and his grades are excellent, and no one thought that he would embark on a road of no return because of the problem of the paper, which is really incredible!" ”
Suddenly bad news
On the night of April 22, a sudden call from the police broke the peaceful life of zhao Lei's family.
"Hello, are they Zhao Lei's parents?" We received a report here that a body was found in a village, and according to the evidence confirmed by many parties, the deceased is likely to be your son Zhao Lei. Please come to the scene as soon as possible to collect evidence to confirm, can you? ”
The police call was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the parents could not contact their son recently, and they wondered if he was not worried too much because of his heavy education.
Because Zhao Lei had told them before that he was writing papers recently, he might be busy and didn't have much time to call home.
However, no one expected to wait for such a message.
Zhao Lei's parents rushed to the scene of the crime, and after collecting evidence from multiple sources of blood type and genes, they had to accept the fact that the deceased was their own son.
"Can anyone tell me what this is all about? My son has excellent academic performance, usually did not let us worry about it, why did he die in this place! The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and asks the police comrades to find the murderer and make the decision for us! ”
Zhao Lei's parents knelt on the ground and pleaded with the police.
The police immediately launched an investigation, and after the clues left by Zhao Lei at the scene, the police initially ruled out the possibility of Zhao Lei's killing, and it can be judged that he committed suicide by taking poison.
After the police interviewed Zhao Lei's teachers and classmates, they sorted out and deduced the following clues.
Thesis storm
Zhao Lei's class is accounting class 1602 of the School of Commerce and Trade, and the deadline for the first draft of their class paper is April 20.
Before this date, Zhao Lei handed over the thesis to the teacher, but the teacher did not reply to him, it is estimated that the teacher has too many messages and has not seen it.
On April 8, the teacher asked Zhao Lei to turn in his thesis again, thinking that there was no problem and that he could do it once and for all.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei waited for the teacher's reply: "The paper does not pass, rewrite another topic."
"Why change the topic, the topic of the thesis is prepared in advance, why don't you say it when you start writing, you have to wait until you finish writing it before telling me to write it again, teacher, this is too much of a waste of time"
Zhao Lei asked the teacher.

"I let you write how you want, you can write how to write, the topic must be changed, re-written and handed over to me!"
The teacher replied to him.
Zhao Lei had no choice but to write hard and rewrite a different topic.
On April 16, Zhao Lei finally completed the thesis and submitted it to the teacher, but the teacher told him that he still did not pass, or changed back to the original topic.
Zhao Lei was a little angry, and changing the topic one after another was equivalent to overturning everything written before, starting again, wasting time, and testing people's patience.
Zhao Lei was very unhappy by the teacher because of the thesis.
However, considering whether he could successfully reply, he accepted the teacher's opinion, changed back to the original question, and handed it over to the teacher on April 19.
At this point, it was the last time Zhao Lei corresponded with the teacher, and then he broke off contact with the outside world.
On April 19, Zhao Lei came to a village in Nanshan and bought pesticides in a shop, thus ending his life.
Everyone can't understand why Zhao Lei, who has always been sensible, would commit such an extreme behavior, is it just because he is unwilling to face repeated revisions of papers? Or is there some other reason?
Later, the police found some other clues in Zhao Lei's mobile phone.
Zhao Lei's tutor was not only harsh on one of them in the class thesis group, but also ruthless to other students.
Subsequently, the police launched an investigation into his mentor, but did not find that he had a motive for killing, at best, it was a poor discipline, and he did not detect the psychological changes of the students in time.
Afterwards, the school fired the teacher.
Zhao Lei's parents were critical of the school's approach, saying they did not want compensation from the school, but the only request was to meet the teacher and ask if his conscience would be condemned.
Perhaps ashamed of the person concerned, the teacher also disappeared from the public eye after being dismissed.
Zhao Lei's family begged for explanations at the school gate and asked to meet the teacher' request, which had not been fulfilled.
Now, nearly two years after Zhao Lei's suicide, it is good that he still has his brother at home to support him, and his parents will not be without dependence.
Zhao Lei's incident enlightens us to pay attention to the psychology of students in the graduation season. At present, the problem of employment difficulties should not be underestimated, and some people say: "Graduation is unemployment", which is a good illustration of this problem.
Under the influence of the environment of employment difficulties, the psychology of many students is easily affected by fluctuations.
All matters related to graduation will become the focus, such as thesis revision, thesis defense, completion results, etc., which can easily affect the whole body, influence the students' emotions, and even do some extreme things.
It is hoped that the parents and teachers of the graduation season candidates can pay attention to the psychological changes of the students in time to avoid tragedies like Zhao Lei.
