Introduction:
On the afternoon of April 4, in the Tianmen Mountain View Area of Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, four tourists committed suicide by jumping off a cliff.
Among the four, the oldest is 33 years old and the youngest is only 22 years old, which is embarrassing.
According to the local government, all four committed suicide and left a suicide note at the scene: there was a disclaimer in the suicide note, saying that the suicide was their own idea and had nothing to do with others.
There were 4 of them, one from Fujian, one from Hebei, one from Henan and one from Sichuan.
Why did 4 people from the south and north of the world choose to jump off a cliff in the same place at the same time?
This incident was pointed to "network about death".
What is "online death"?
It is people with suicidal thoughts who set up a group on social platforms to meet each other and commit suicide at a specific time and place.
The group of people who died became a gathering place for teenage suicides.

On May 22, 2018, Hu Ming (pseudonym) cooked at home, and his son Hu Xiaotian (pseudonym) took a bath, dressed up, sprayed perfume, and went out with a smile, without eating. Unexpectedly, it was the last meeting between Hu Ming and his son.
On May 26, Hu Xiaotian said "baby, good morning" to his girlfriend on WeChat, and then disappeared for several days.
After Hu Ming learned about it, he called the police at the local police station on June 2, and the next day, the police found that Hu Xiaotian had arrived in Wuhan nine days earlier. On June 4, Hu Ming rushed to Wuhan to call the police.
During this time, Hu Ming has been trying to contact his son. The phone does not work, WeChat, QQ does not return, the most worrying thing is: for several consecutive days, the number of WeChat steps is 0.
On June 8, a police officer called him to hurry up to watch the news, and three children who had committed suicide by burning charcoal were found in Wuhan. After answering the phone, Hu Ming was stunned, and his brain was blank. It's over, it's over, it's over. After a while, the Wuhan Public Security Bureau called and asked him to verify his identity.
He recovered Hu Xiaotian's body from the police and committed suicide at the age of 22.
He thought back to that afternoon countless times, trying to find some clues of his son's suicide, and all the signs did not indicate that his son would come to this step, and he deeply regretted that as a father, he knew too little about his son!
In order to find out what his son had gone through, Hu Ming entered his son's various social software and found that his son was a member of the "covenant death group".
A few months after joining the group, Hu Xiaotian committed suicide with three of his peers, meeting four children who committed suicide, and three others, one 23, one 26, and one 20.

Hu Ming used his son's account to log in to the "About Death Group".
Unexpectedly, as soon as it went online, the group exploded.
"Look, look, the corpse is fraudulent!"
Another asked, "Brother is not dead?" "Brother, die together?"
The group is filled with pictures of funerals, a large number of deaths, and various suicide scenes. In the video, a child jumps straight off a cliff.
Even if he was middle-aged, Hu Ming was caught off guard, shocked, doubtful, fearful, and angry, and he couldn't move while sitting on the sofa.
"I am his father. Hu Xiaotian is gone. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Who are you?"
"Are you happy to see others die?"
A series of questions, and even a few angry swear words, Hu Ming sent it to the group.
He hates it! "Why are you talking, you are still alive, but my son is dead."
He didn't sleep all night, and the group was terrible, it was simply creepy. Most of the children in the group are children between the ages of seventeen and twenty-two, who incite negative emotions every day, encourage each other to commit suicide, and even meet to commit suicide.
In the face of these children who are indifferent to life, he does not want another tragedy, and he does not want parents to bear the parting of life and death that he should not bear.
He decided: persuade life.

On this day, Hu Ming talked with a child with the online name "Lin Yuan" until the early hours of the morning, and Lin Yuan said that he made an appointment with two people and went to Chenzhou, Hunan at 7 a.m. the next morning, and committed mass suicide.
Hu Ming learned the other party's mobile phone number in the chat, immediately called the police to notify the police, and the next day the police found Lin Yuan and two other children at the station by detecting the mobile phone location. At that time, they even bought tickets. Three young lives, pulled back on the brink of death.
There was also a child who was about to commit suicide, and Hu Ming added his WeChat and asked him why he committed suicide? He said that he owed 30,000 yuan in online loans, and the daily collection call made him unable to live normally.
Hu Ming told him, "Child, 30,000 is nothing." You first have to find a job, survive, and repay online loans reasonably according to wages, not for one year, two years..., it is better to die than to live.
The child asked Hu Ming early the next morning: Uncle, can you send me a red envelope, I am going to find a job. Hu Ming sent him a red envelope, and on the same day, the child told him that he had found a job and would live well.
At that moment, Hu Ming's psychology was mixed: on the one hand, he was glad for this child, on the other hand, he increased his sense of remorse, if, his son Hu Xiaotian on the spot, also had such an "uncle", how good it was! Why didn't I communicate with my son more?!
Most of the people who want to commit suicide are poor, in debt, and lack of love. There are also "rich second generations".
A "rich second generation" with several luxury cars, the family asked him to invest several times, but failed.
Hu Ming wanted to ask him to meet, and he said: Yes, on the day I met, on the day I committed suicide, I spent 600,000 yuan and left.
Hu Ming did not dare to ask him again, and a few days later, the child jumped off the building in Haikou.
While persuading and cooperating with the police, Hu Ming successfully saved more than 20 young lives, which is equivalent to saving the future of more than 20 families.
Even with Hu Ming's best efforts, many lives remain irreparable.

In this world, where there is darkness, there is light.
Among the three people who met Hu Xiaotian, one did not go to the appointment, Hu Ming found him and wanted to know more about his son, but the other party never dared to face Hu Ming.
Hu Ming communicated with him again and again, and eventually, his thinking changed, from "suicide" to "undercover". Always keep an eye out for people who have a clear suicide plan and contact the police to take action.
Another girl, when she saw Hu Ming, thought of her parents, and also changed from a suicide to a persuader.
Hu Ming also experienced the same experience as his parent, Xu Shihai (pseudonym), who also did the same thing.

In order to persuade his life, Hu Ming took very little rest every day (basically chatting at night), and helped these confused children, encouraged them, sponsored them, and paid a lot financially.
Hu Ming was physically and mentally exhausted, faced with more and more tragedies, relatives and friends were afraid that he would not be able to accept it mentally, persuaded him to say goodbye to his son's cyberspace, and two months later, he left.
Every year, 300,000 people commit suicide in mainland China, and 2.5 million people have attempted suicide, and under the adverse influence of the Internet, more and more people are living on suicide and committing suicide in dates.
Some people who have suicidal aggression do not necessarily have courage.
The "covenant herd" provided them with the courage to form a companion and to instigate.
At present, there are no relevant restrictions in this regard in the law, and we can only use "persuasion" to resist "suicide".
The power of the individual is small, and if everyone gives a piece of love, the world will become a better tomorrow!
