[quote=FRANKENSTEIN,246944]According to Xinhua news, the authoritative statistics shows that  400 commited suicide in 5 months (from April to Sep 10th) in Dongguan City, South China's Guangdong Province. Among the suicide cases, about 70% are migrating workers who came to Dongguan to seek a better life.

Obviously, the great pressure is main factor to drive these migrating workers towards suicide. Dongguan like Shenzhen is a city with a large population of migrating workers. For these poor migrating farmers, Guangdong is a land of opportunity. However, the low income frustrated the migrating workers. Disillusioned with the " Cantonese Dream", many migrating workers walked on a wrong road.

Other factors leading to the mounting suicide include the trouble in personal feeling and love, as well as the gloomy mentality. When they feel frustrated with life and love, they couldn't find some one to confess their trouble and pangs of life.

Meanwhile, Dongguan is a city of fierce competitiveness, highlighting the importance of money and wealth.  In such an environment, many migrating workers feel unsupported and alienated. The psychology becomes fragile, and so does life.
