<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="5" > Time: April 30, 1947 Location: Empire State Building, New York, USA</h1>
On this day, a young woman with exquisite makeup and a brick red slip dress appeared at the door of the Empire State Building in New York with a slow and elegant step.
I saw her raise her head slightly, smile softly in the direction of the observation deck on the 86th floor, and then disappear into the crowd of the river, and there was no trace.
Soon after, with the screams of the crowd, a woman fell from the sky and smashed straight into the black car parked under the building.
Photos of the accident scene
When the people rushed there with courage, they found that between a pile of black deformed scrap iron, a woman was lying there with her legs crossed, looking serene, her left hand, and gently holding the necklace around her neck.
At this time, a careful crowd found that this woman was the same person who looked up at the observation deck not long ago, because her brick-red slip dress was really gorgeous and eye-catching.
People do not see the panic and struggle of death on her face and on her limbs, but on the contrary, there is a quiet beauty of relief and relief.
At this time, a college student studying photography passed by, who was amazed by such a special and cruel "beauty", and took out the camera in his hand to record the moment.
Soon after, this photo was published in the American "Time" magazine, which caused countless people to discuss and discuss it for a time, and even called it a "falling angel".
So, who is this "angel" who fell to the dead, whether her death was inadvertently lost or premeditated, and what kind of unknown secrets are hidden behind this?
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="11" >01 Pain of the original family: an unloved childhood</h1>
After the crash, the police attached great importance to it and quickly identified the deceased, a woman named Evelyn, who was a staff member of a local bank in New York.
Her death was not an accident, but a deliberate "self-murder" of her own.
After buying a ticket to enter the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, Evelyn took advantage of the lack of attention from the security guards and suddenly plunged down from the place where the railing had not yet been built and fell into the hell of death.
Some people may feel very puzzled, why would such a young and beautiful woman jump off the building without any scruples, and she is not afraid of her family and friends being sad and sad?
If you want to explore the reasons why she chose to commit suicide, you have to go back to more than twenty years ago, back to her unhappy original family.
Evelyn was born in California in 1923 to an ordinary family.
Before she was born, her parents had welcomed 6 children, and for her arrival, they not only did not have the joy of parenthood, but on the contrary, they were troubled by the extra mouth to eat.
The brothers and sisters in the family also ignored the young Evelyn, and even took her out of anger when she was unhappy, did not let her eat, and scolded her.
This made Evelyn feel very sad and scared, but she did not dare to complain to her parents, because their quarrels and fights were far more frightening than the bullying of her brothers and sisters.
In this way, Evelyn trembled and spent 7 years in a promise.
By the time she was 7 years old, her parents could no longer stand each other and opted for divorce.
However, her nightmare did not end there, but instead changed into a new way and continued to torment her.
Due to her mother's severe depression and weak financial resources, she was sentenced to an indifferent father at a young age. The father then married another woman.
In the new family, although her stepmother did not abuse her body, she seriously hurt her spiritual world.
At least in the original family, although the fight was noisy, there was still a trace of human fireworks, which made her feel that she had a family, but she was not happy enough.
In the current life, she seems to be a stranger, maintaining an alienated and indifferent relationship with all the people in the family, and even the voice that scolds her rarely appears.
Sometimes, she even felt that if she suddenly disappeared, no one might find out.
Having lived in such an environment since childhood, Evelyn's character could not have been unaffected.
Compared with the sunny self-confidence of girls of the same age, she is inferior and weak, and does not dare to touch anything easily, for fear that she will be abandoned and treated coldly.
In this way, in such anxiety and torture, Evelyn gradually grew up and went to work, until she met a boy named Barry, and her life took a new turn.
However, no one expected that the appearance of this turn would make her die.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="17" >02 Behind marital phobia: love, but more afraid of loss</h1>
Barry, a student at the U.S. Air Force Academy, was handsome and sunny, giving Evelyn, who had been living in a cold corner, the first rays of life.
And Evelyn's beauty and unusual personality also deeply attracted Barry, and he wondered what was going on in the mind of this beautiful girl.
The conscious proximity and attraction to each other made the young man and woman quickly fall in love and enter a period of hot love.
Barry graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1947, and he couldn't wait to propose to Evelyn, hoping to spend the rest of his life with her.
At that time, Evelyn was still bathed in love, and she had no strength to resist Barry's love.
In this way, the two people began to prepare for the wedding, making final preparations for a happy future.
However, as the wedding date approached day by day, Evelyn became more and more uneasy, and the quarrels of her parents began to ring in her mind, remembering the cold treatment she had received in those years.
Would such a good boy really be willing to spend his life with himself? Will they abandon themselves after marriage, will they end up divorced like their parents...
All kinds of bad thoughts slowly invaded her brain, making her more and more anxious.
In the end, Evelyn still did not defeat her own demons, and chose to commit suicide on the eve of the wedding, ending her relationship with Barry in a resolute and poignant way.
"In June, I'm going to get married to Barry, but I don't think I'm going to be a good wife and his life would be better without me... Please cremate me, I don't want anyone to see any part of me. ”
This is a suicide note found by the police from Evelyn's clothes pocket, and the words are full of inconfidence in married life and in their own future.
She hopes that her departure will free each other and make Barry move towards a better life.
For this relationship, she is not not unloving, but too much love, love to the point of fear of loss, afraid of deterioration.
Only by personally closing it at the best time can it become eternal in her world, no longer afraid of being abandoned and treated coldly.
But what she did not expect was that her death was not as terrible as she thought, but on the contrary, there was a cruel and alternative beauty that made all the people of the United States and even the whole world remember it.
Many artists also had the whim of re-painting and coloring her fallen pictures, turning them into record covers, and turning them into posters for movie promotion.
She didn't want anyone to see any part of her, but the end result was that every part of her was judged and talked about.
We can't imagine how devastated it would be to see Evelyn walking down the street and seeing all sorts of photos of Evelyn's death.
If Evelyn knew that would be the outcome, would she still choose to commit suicide without attachment?
Unfortunately, if it were just ifs, we would never know the answer again.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="25" >03 We are left with a reflection: the impact of the original family on people</h1>
Some people may question that this picture should not be publicized no matter how beautiful it is.
This will inspire more people to come to a so-called "poignant death" and have a negative impact on society.
Indeed, after Evelyn's suicide, more and more people flocked to the Empire State Building in New York to see what the observation deck on the 86th floor looked like. There are even many very crazy believers who want to jump off like Evelyn.
This caused a headache for the building's staff, who added security personnel from the observation deck on the 86th floor and built a very strong fence here.
Empire State Building, New York, USA
It was not until 1951 that an 86-meter antenna was added to the observation deck, and the wave of suicide that had sprung up in the Empire State Building in New York slowly subsided.
In fact, looking at the whole incident, we will find that this is not only a suicide, but also a social phenomenon that makes us reflect - that is, the influence of the original family on people.
Since Evelyn was born, she has not had the life that a normal child should have.
The constant quarrels and scoldings of parents, the indifference and bullying of siblings, as well as the remarriage of her father and the depression of her mother, have caused a great psychological shadow to Evelyn, who is still growing up.
She was inferior and weak, unwilling to believe in marriage, unwilling to believe in anyone but herself, and finally faced with a beautiful turning point in her life, she could only choose death decisively.
As the saying goes, "Lucky people are healed by childhood all their lives, and unfortunate people are cured of childhood all their lives."
Apparently, Evelyn belonged to the latter, to the unfortunate, and to her death her childhood was uncured.
There was a famous psychological experiment in which psychologists brought in more than 100 college students from different backgrounds and different levels of wealth and poverty.
They divided these college students into four groups: college students from wealthy families with high self-esteem; college students from wealthy families with low self-esteem; college students with high self-esteem from poor families; and college students with low self-esteem from poor families.
Then, the experts scanned the brains of these college students, starting from learning ability, memory, stress management and other aspects, and finally came up with a surprising result.
The average brain comprehensive ability of college students from poor families is significantly lower than that of college students from wealthy families, but the average of high-self-esteem college students from poor families is basically the same as that of high-self-esteem college students from wealthy families.
This result fully illustrates the important impact of a harmonious and warm family environment on a person's life.
Material poverty is not terrible, what is terrible is spiritual desolation.
If Evelyn's parents could give Evelyn some more love, perhaps her life would go to a completely different situation, and we would not need to remember and commemorate her as an "angel who fell into the world".
Nowadays, the times are developing rapidly, the material conditions are gradually improving, and the problem of the original family is also attracting more and more attention. I sincerely hope that the relationship between children and their parents is no longer obedience and obedience, no longer command and be commanded.
Instead, like friends, they can talk calmly and talk, eliminate each other's mustard, and enhance the feelings of both sides.
Finally, a line from the TV series "All Is Fine" is quoted as the end:
"We've been waiting all our lives, waiting for our parents to say sorry; our parents have been waiting for us all their lives to say thank you." Sadly, most people don't wait. ”
Parents and children of the world, please do not let each other leave such regrets!
