We are often envied by others, how beautiful life is to study abroad! But for some people, it often becomes unbearable in life.
On May 22, around 02:30, Annie Wang, a sophomore in (UCSB) psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, was found dead near the Cold Springs Canyon in (Santa YnezMountains), Mount Santanez.
According to initial police identification, Wang died of suicide and has contacted her family.
Annie Wang was last seen in his own dorm on the 18th.
His roommate said that around 3 a.m. on the 18th, Wang is still studying in the dormitory. But when she got up at noon, Wang was gone and couldn`t be reached. Her cell phone turned off and the text message didn`t return.
Even the Alpha Phi Omega Brotherhood weekend, which she had previously signed up for, did not take part in a number of events.
The head of the Brotherhood said the situation was unusual because Wang, a prominent leader of the fraternity, received a text message from Wang at 03:54 on the 18th.
Wang`s roommate, who felt unusual, called the police on Monday (May 21).
Police immediately launched a large-scale search on and around the campus and eventually found Wang`s body the following afternoon.
A young and beautiful life passed away in this way.
Wang was not the first Chinese student to commit suicide at the school.
Last February, also 20, Weiwei Liu, a Chinese student majoring in German and psychology at the school, chose to end his young life in his dorm.
Before she died, she had left on Weibo the words "I am an overburdened coward", "unable to bear the weight of life".
Santa Barbara has opened a psychological helpline in the hope of helping students who need psychological counseling and stress relief.
I don`t know what kind of pressure and pain the two girls have suffered.
Such events occur not only in the United States, but also in Australia and the world.
Not long ago, Chinese women at the University of New South Wales cut their wrists in Weibo live broadcast, detonating the entire Chinese circle.
Blood flow wrist picture with "really good, finally no longer sad" text, can not help people can not help but worry.
It is said that abroad, there are two hundred thousand students of depression pretending to live.
On the surface, they look like normal people, eating, drinking, and playing, but when they`re alone, they get stuck in endless negative feelings of self-denial.
In the past three years, because of depression, we have lost a lot of people, they used to be very good, young.
In December 2017, Tian Miaoxiu, a Chinese student at Cornell University, an Ivy League university in the United States, was found to have committed suicide in his apartment during the final exam.
In October 2017, Tang Xiaolin, a Ph.D. in biology at the University of Utah in the United States, chose to jump to the Golden Gate Bridge to end her young life.
In December 2016, Liu Kaifeng, an excellent student at Ohio State University in Tianjin, China, committed suicide at home.
In November 2016, Yang Zhihui, a foreign student from Shanghai, China, committed suicide at the University of Toronto, Canada.

On January 27, 2015, Wang Luchang, a Chinese student at Yale University, jumped from the Goldem Gate Bridge into San Francisco Bay to commit suicide.
Sad cases tell us that the physical and mental health of international students has become a serious need for improvement on the one hand.
But some people can not understand the situation of depression patients, mocking them as "life is too comfortable, false!"
Some people said, "Foreign students are living too smoothly and smoothly, so the psychological quality is poor. If you encounter something, you will die to live!"
There are a few common sense about depression:
Depression is 24-7-year-round.
Just because I`m happy doesn`t mean I`m cured, and just because I`m depressed doesn`t mean I have to commit suicide.
Depression is not just unhappy or suicidal. It affects every aspect of life.
If you find yourself or your classmates and friends in the following states, be sure to seek help from a professional:

3. Language degradation
4, perceptual passivation. Do not feel the existence of emotion, not sad but a blank and numb. 5, easy tired. The school felt exhausted in a few minutes and felt like it was going to be hollowed out for a few minutes.
Psychological aspect
1, serious self-denial, inferiority. I don`t think I`m worth it, I don`t deserve it. I think everyone else is much better than myself.
2. Being too sensitive will enlarge the details infinitely, especially the negative details and information, and then generate great feedback in the inner world.
3, excessive self-blame. A few small disputes, not even disputes, in a close relationship, and perhaps just a slightly tougher expression and tone, will start to apologize and, even if you get the other person`s understanding, will still be immersed in self-remorse for a long time.

For international students, it is easy to be lonely when they are out alone. In addition, many of them are not very strong in their mental and digestive abilities, and they are more likely to fall into self-pessimism.
