Committed suicide by jumping off a building
In 2016, when there were about 100 days before the college entrance examination, to everyone's surprise, Lin Jiawen committed suicide by jumping from the building.
He chose to leave this world by jumping off a building, leaving this world that he found unattractive.
His parents were so sad that he died, and those around him were sorry to mention him.
As a once very dazzling genius boy, who mentioned him was not praise and praise, he received countless praises in his limited life, but he was such a young man, but in the end he chose to commit suicide because of depression.
He has his own views on life, so he understands his future early, and he is more precocious and stable than his peers.
When his peers were still studying hard for Xi the college entrance examination, he already had his own understanding of life.
His death saddened many people, and it doesn't seem like his future should be like this.
He should have been walking on the flower road in the future, but the reality is very cruel.
Genius Boy
Lin Jiawen's family are all intellectuals, and the elders in the family are engaged in work related to literary knowledge.
Lin Jiawen's family atmosphere since he was a child was full of strong cultural atmosphere, and he was also very interested in learning Xi when he was a child.
I usually read books when I have nothing to do, and I still read history books.
He has reached a level of obsession with history, and no one in his family loves history as much as Lin Jiawen.
He watched history programs on TV and read a lot of history books by himself.
Children of his age can't learn Xi, let alone these books that are obscure to them.
But Lin Jiawen was able to read the book with relish, and also read some history books like "Historical Records".
Most people may think that if their children keep reading extracurricular books like this, will they still have time to learn Xi textbooks?
And these situations will not happen to Lin Jiawen at all, the reason why he is called a genius boy, in addition to having his own opinions on history, his grades are also among the best in the class.
Lin Jiawen sometimes asks the teacher about history, but often at the end of the discussion, it will be found that the teacher does not understand some aspects as thoroughly as Lin Jiawen.
When he was 16 years old, he published a book called "When Taoism Ruled China: The Political Practice of Taoist Thought and the Rapid Rise of the Han Empire," which had a whopping 300,000 words.
At that time he was still a student, and he was not very old, and no one knew that the author of this book was a student when it was first published.
After the release of the book, many experts in the industry recognized the book, they felt that the book's point of view was very good, and the angle was very special, not to mention that the author was so young.
The term fame at a young age can be used to describe Lin Jiawen.
In his life, maybe when he released these two books, he was genuinely happy, happy.
However, people who become famous at a young age always have a common problem, that is, they are easy to become impetuous, and their hearts are higher than the sky.
Although Lin Jiawen is not very old, and he is very calm about himself becoming popular because of the book, he is not impetuous, and he has always had a world of his own in his heart.
After entering high school, he learned more and more, and the in-depth knowledge of history began to become profound.
He is very familiar with the knowledge of history in his head, and in the eyes of other students, he is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
And Lin Jiawen has also become well-known because of the publication of books, not only is he called a "genius boy", but also received many invitations.
Some professional academic conferences or research Lin Jiawen will also choose to attend, where he can not only consult with some experts about history, but also learn a lot Xi after a conference.
The following year, another of his books, Sorrow for the World: Fan Zhongyan and the Qingli New Deal, was published.
In two years, Lin Jiawen published two historical works one after another, which stunned many people.
At that time, Lin Jiawen was in his third year of high school, and his three years of high school were undoubtedly busy, but Lin Jiawen still completed and published the book in his free time.
Li Yumin, a professor of history and culture, once highly praised Lin Jiawen and gave a very professional evaluation of his works.
It can be said that in the academic world, Lin Jiawen's evaluation is still quite high.
And his second book held a symposium in Xi'an Middle School, invited many well-known scholars and professors, and Lin Jiawen also began to go to the public.
His photos and speeches began to circulate on the Internet, and more people got to know Lin Jiawen and learned about Lin Jiawen.
But there are pros and cons to doing so, and more people know about his writings, and at the same time, it has also brought him countless troubles and public opinion.
"Future and Reality"
Many people are skeptical that Lin Jiawen can write such a level of historical masterpieces? Because in their opinion, Lin Jiawen is just a high school student, and no matter how good he is and how many books he reads, he will not be able to reach the level of those experts and scholars.
They wonder if Lin Jiawen's book is "sought-after" ghostwriting, and whether he is really what people call a "genius boy".
Lin Jiawen is far more thorough than his peers, and he has studied history Xi for so long, and he has long been unable to see the way forward in the long river of history.
Surrounded by countless pressure from public opinion, Lin Jiawen's spirit was impacted, and at school, he couldn't find the person who resonated with him.
Whether it is school or home, it is not the harbor that Lin Jiawen is most looking forward to in his heart.
Over time, Lin Jiawen suffered from depression.
Depression is a disease that not only torments you mentally, but also physically.
He wanted to concentrate in class and read a history book, but his illness made him unable to concentrate and even his body was in constant pain.
The separation between body and mind and mind made Lin Jiawen even more painful and unbearable, he went to see a psychiatrist, and the medicine prescribed was also taken normally.
But these did not alleviate Lin Jiawen's symptoms, he became less communicative, did not like to go out, and even had suicidal thoughts at one point.
His parents love him, but this does not make Lin Jiawen's mind waver.
In 2016, he left a suicide note, followed his inner thoughts, and jumped from a tall building.
The reason for Lin Jiawen's suicide is reflected in his suicide note.
He felt that the future was not attractive to him, that he was so awake that he could see what his future looked like, his future in terms of history.
But in reality, he can only spend his life in history, and now he suffers from depression, and even the history he loves the most can no longer be read and studied.
He felt that life was too pale, and now he has lost the confidence to live and the courage to live.
It was because he saw through it, he was too sober but not sober, so he wrapped himself around, and finally couldn't untie it, so he committed suicide to end it all.
