Melbourne`s summer is sunny.
However, for Xiao Liu, a Chinese student, this is not the case. In the eyes of his sister`s astonishment, Xiao Liu shouted: "Why is life so difficult!" "Why do we always have to make difficult choices?"
He then turned over the balcony of his apartment at 120 Beckett St.
This is the 21st floor, more than 70 meters from the ground, the city high wind, hunting noise, after that, Xiao Liu`s sister heard a cry! With a loud noise, the sound suddenly stopped!
She rushed onto the balcony and found her brother, who had fallen into a pool of blood on the floor of the floor.
The incident took place on March 6, 2016.
However, subject to a media ban, it was not until recently that Victoria Coroner court provided a file of the case that we were able to have a more intuitive understanding of the case.
In 2015, Xiao Liu came to Melbourne from home to receive higher education, and he attended the University of Melbourne.
However, not long after entering college, Xiao Liu discovered that his life was like hitting a wall!
Although he passed the English score, he could not understand the course, nor could he communicate with his classmates. Even his relationship with his girlfriend far away from Sydney did not go well.
He was under great pressure, and he had sleepless for many days.
(Victoria Coroner court file)
He told his sister that he wanted to self-harm or even commit suicide. His sister advised him to see a psychiatrist, but he refused.
In March 2016, this was the third month of Xiao Liu`s arrival in Australia. On March 5, Xiao Liu first spoke with his father, saying that he wanted to concentrate on CauIas and suspend his studies at Melbourne University, but his father did not seem to support it. He was asked to consider it carefully.
On the afternoon of March 6, Xiao Liu first spoke with his girlfriend, and he also asked his girlfriend if he would like to order anything from the domestic online shopping.
Later, Xiao Liu`s sister began to persuade him, let him change status quo, adjust learning attitude. Her sister said Xiao took up too much time to contact his girlfriend on his phone and spent too much time running errands for online shopping.
At this point, my sister can obviously feel Xiao Liu doesn`t want to talk anymore.
Then Xiao Liu shouted, "Why is life so difficult?" Why do you have to make more choices? "
Then he went to the balcony.
The next second, there was a loud cry outside the balcony, and when her sister rushed to the balcony, she saw her brother fall from the balcony and fall to death on the ground.
It was 4:17.
The passers-by quickly called for an ambulance, but they had gone back to heaven. Rescuers declared Xiao Liu dead on the spot.
Sister noticed that at 04:12 that day, Liu sent the last message to his girlfriend.
According to a file obtained from Victoria Coroner court, Xiao Liu did not receive any external drugs during his life, and, legal medical expert ruled out drunken, take drugs and poisoning. Police checks also found no illegal drugs or prescription drugs found in the apartment.
Police investigations also believe that Xiao Liu`s death, neither a third party involved, nor a note.
Based on this, Victoria Coroner court determined that the changes in the language environment of Xiao Liu and the pressure of academic malaise led to suicide!
Mo University bully, the future of him, so he came to Australia in the third month, left.
Xiao Liu is not the first international student to fall before suicidal thoughts.
Astonishingly, Coroner court found that 27 international students killed themselves in the state of Victoria in 2009 and 2015!
The following set of data is even more frightening.
1. Of the 27 students who committed suicide, 90% (24) committed suicide in Asia!
2. Of those who committed suicide, 22 were men! Basically concentrated in the 18-year-old 29-year-old age group!
3. International students who committed suicide showed less tendency to commit suicide and self-harm ahead of time than local students in Australia, but they also suffered more academic and economic pressure.
This means that international student suicides tend to appear sudden and without warning.
4. Few of the international students who committed suicide were diagnosed with mental illness (14.8%), yet, legal medical expert suspects that 33.3% of them had a mental illness before their lives.
5. Of the international students who committed suicide, only 22.2% attended treatment for mental illness shortly before their death.
It can be said that the suicide of international students is closely related to mental health status.
Many friends remember that just two months ago, Adelaide University, one of Australia`s eight largest universities, committed a suicide by jumping from a building. The suicidal student, a Chinese student, had just arrived in Australia.
And just last month, the University of Melbourne also committed suicide in a building jump. A boy climbed up the school building and jumped down to suicide, possibly due to too much pressure on the schoolwork.

A Chinese student at the University of Queensland, Li classmate, fainted in the library.
Despite immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation by security at the scene, he did everything he could to save the student.
But 2 days later, the school has announced, Li classmate in hospital rescue bad news.
The pressure of study by international students can`t be underestimated all the time, they bear a hundred times more than they can tell.
Australian students are more likely to commit suicide than local students because of loneliness and depression.
So many overseas students have gone to extremes over the years because of depression. They`re not loser,. They`re all very young and excellent, just.
Life has too much to bear.

From parents to outsiders, all the foreign students in the eyes of all are the son of heaven. But not many of them are understood.
Their Time line will always have a beautiful report card, but all sorts of "heartache" and "pressure" behind it can be the last straw to crush these students.
A person struggles in a foreign country very hard, that kind of unspeakable pressure, there are many times can not be transformed into motivation, but become depressed.
There is no willing, some can not learn, there is pain, there is struggle. Final, who has not "pain".
Anonymity: loneliness is the most torment.
In fact, studying abroad is for me, the biggest suffering is loneliness. A person reports to school, a person goes to a hospital to see a doctor, a person can`t get used to the "dark food" of a host family to look for food in the street.
Stay up late in the library alone and face the exam Fail.
But I kept telling myself to keep going, but when I bought my grandmother`s 80-year-old gift with the first money I earned.
When my mother and I video chat, I mentioned this matter, I plan to return to my grandmother during the holiday. But I didn`t expect my mother to cry.
Tell me about Grandma`s death a month ago. I tried to comfort my mother with tears, but cried all night with a quilt after the video.
Anonymity: I picked up a knife and maimed myself.
Once I, in the domestic high school is worthy of the name of high achiever.
Students like to surround me to ask questions, teachers often praise me, parents proud of me.
Now I am alone in the foreign classroom, the students around to answer questions one by one, but sometimes I can not even understand, I often feel that I am a retarded.
I thought I was very good character, willing to communicate with people, but there are cultural differences with local students, there is no way to be good friends.
I studied late in the library, but I still couldn`t get past high achiever, who seemed relaxed in the class, and the teacher couldn`t even name me.
I burst into tears in my room, and I felt like I had worked hard enough, but it was so common that I suddenly felt that hard work was pointless, learning meaningless, life meaningless, and doing anything pointless.
I even picked up the knife. Self-harm. When I think of the dark days, I regret how painful it would be for my mother to know all this.

I have three children from Peking University go abroad to study depressed return, there is a great deal of reason has been eager for their high requirements.
If you do not reach the desired state at the expected time, you will be urged to do so. A sister was a bit depressed when she was studying literature in Cambridge, feeling that she couldn`t even find someone close to a speaker who had a heart-to-heart relationship.
Whether you can find friends outside the country who can really communicate with each other will really take your chances.
I have a lot of social, but I`m willing to be honest and not afraid to waste other people`s time without worrying about being judge.
I felt that she really understood all my hard work, because she came this way. So we admire each other and cherish each other.
This kind of friendship came a little late when I was already very depressed. But I am grateful to God that there is such a person that I feel that I am not alone and understood.
Kun:, I was dropped out of school.
I was a big boy, dropped out of school, and I knew I was wrong, too, but it was humiliating.
I wept out of the building and suddenly felt strange to the place where I had stayed for a few years.
I don`t want to talk, I find myself in a foreign country, alone.
The visa was cancelled at once, and it was a real shame to go home.
I just want to paralyze myself with alcohol, not think of death, but also think of a lot of ways to die.
It`s not easy to go abroad, and my family is not rich, so I know I won`t come back.
When I got to the airport with a plane ticket, I saw my parents` eyes full of worries.
I suddenly realized that the idea of suicide was childish because your parents were waiting for you to return home safely.
Clever: was the worst in the first half of the year.

I`m not interested in doing anything. I`m afraid I can`t keep up with the class, and I have to break down when I take the exam.
Later I approached a counselor and realized that it might be because of language problems that I couldn`t integrate into the local community.
Gradually, now much better, to meet new friends.
Although, will not have that kind of intimate feeling before, but now his mood is much better, feeling depression should be relieved.
