[quote=YINDUFFY,322003]As a Westerner raised on Hollywood movies I am shocked to see a popular Chinese film like "Hero" or "Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon" depict lead characters committing suicide. Long ago Hollywood found that audiences liked happy endings and not depressing stories. I saw a VCD of dancing girls and my wife explained the story of the red ribbon and that the girls father committed suicide over debt. If suicide is depicted as acceptable or expected in some situations then impressionable minds might follow. Perhaps a public awareness program of alternatives to suicide would help. I guess the first thing to do would be to gather statistics of what reasons are known for these drastic actions and try to address the issues.[/quote]
