The only country in the world where more women commit suicide than men is China. There are 1.5 million women who attempt suicide and 150,000 of them succeed. And this number in the countryside is three times higher than in the cities.
Marriages in China are like business. The groom's parents buy the bride, and this affects women's emotions. So, 70-80% of suicides are the direct result of conflicts between husbands and wives.
The traditional values are a problem for women in China. Also, there is no easy way to dispose of an unhappy marriage. Xu Rong's organization helped many women to get rid of their hard situation by discussing their feelings and supporting them.
Moving to cites for working can help those women; they will be far from their family. And, when they return to the countryside to marry, the experience of being away from home can be life-changing. So they will depend on themselves and they will get more confidence about themselves.
• Main Idea
There is a huge number of women who resort to suicide in China, to escape from their emotional problems.
• Comment
o This number of women who commit suicide is big and they should find a good solution for that, like if any woman experienced problems from her family, the police should act with them and they can impose punishments for that.
o Moving those women to cities for work, so they are far from their families is a good solution to reduce this huge number, and I agree with the writer.
o My opinion to solve this problem is to educate all Chinese families about this problem so they will dispose of their strong tradition.
