Analysis:

Fang Hong, the general manager of Shanghai Volkswagen, committed suicide.

For the secular challenges, he seems unable to cope with all kinds of pressures, and finally failed to cross the threshold of mental depression.

Anyone who knows China football and schlappner must know Fang Hong, general manager of Shanghai Volkswagen. Although he has been dead for six years, the typicality and weight of his death in psychiatric cases are more and more shocking. There are few stories about Fang Hong's death, which is still a mystery, but by dissecting his subtle actions, we may find some hidden mental depression.

Fang Hong passed away at 9: 00 a.m. on March 9th 1993. A person who was fed up with the suffering of depression and devoted himself to the study of depression after recovery said that the symptoms of depressed patients are the most serious during the morning to noon, and will be relieved in the afternoon to night. On March 9, it was rainy in Shanghai, and it was either cloudy or rainy the week before. For a hypochondriac, such weather will aggravate his melancholy feeling.

The day before Fang Hong died, there was almost no warning. When the driver came to pick him up in the morning, his behavior was the same. Yao, his wife, recalled that he seldom spoke. He didn't speak until I spoke first. A few days before the accident, Fang Hong was a little strange. When eating, he will stop chopsticks and stare at his wife and mother. For a while, Fang Hong lost sleep. As a doctor, Yao gave sleeping pills. After taking the medicine, Fang Hong slept soundly.

On March 8th, the night before the accident, Fang Hong didn't take sleeping pills, and soon fell asleep. Fang Hong's calmness not only shows that his subsequent suicide was not premeditated, but also his family was puzzled by his emotional pause.

In the 24 hours before Fang Hong committed suicide, there was no frantic pacing in the closet, no uncharacteristic calm, no sighs close to despair, and no details about ending the funeral.

On March 9, the air was wet and humid.

Back to the general manager's office on the fifth floor of Volkswagen, Fang Hong signed two documents as usual. At 9 o'clock in the morning, he handed the document to his secretary and said, I want to be quiet for a while. Please don't bother me. With that, the door of the general manager's office closed tightly. Only 16 minutes later, Fang Hong jumped from the window of the general manager's office on the fifth floor and fell down.

Although Yao, his wife, was not a psychiatrist, she obviously paid special attention to the depression of modern people because of her death. As a wife and doctor, she told reporters that Fang Hong died of recessive depression, and it was a typical menopausal depression.

Fang Hong was promoted to general manager of Volkswagen on 1990, and his wife was most worried about it. She knows that Fang Hong is competent in business management, but she is poor in interpersonal relationship. With the rising status, Fang Hong's rational burden has also increased. If we get rid of this burden, we still have birth, education, family status and so on, but now we have increased his status, moral perfection and the dignity brought by observing certain laws and regulations, which makes Fang Hong unable to cope with the secular challenges.

He went to Zhejiang University to give a lecture. When he got off the platform, he was surrounded by a dozen people waiting outside the door, talking and coaxing, vying to let him get on the bus and take him somewhere. He refused him one by one, dragged Yao back to his room, closed the door and said to his wife, I'm really afraid I've gone to someone to ask for a car to sponsor. What should I say? The wife said that you are scary enough with a straight face. Can't you be smart?

Once, several singers from Taiwan Province Province performed in Shanghai, and the organizer gave some coupons to the citizens. Yao Biwei asked for two tickets for Fang Hong to accompany him. Who knows from beginning to end, Fang Hong's face is not a little happy, and it's easy to hold back until the end. As soon as I went out, I told Yao that if I wanted to hear it in the future, I would pay for the ticket myself and not take advantage of the public. Fang Hong's incorruptibility is downright incorruptible, so that no accommodation can be tolerated. So, where does Fang Hong's sense of locking come from? First of all, my son went abroad to study four years ago, and a three-story building was deserted by his wife and mother. Moreover, Fang Hong's classmates and old friends have settled abroad in recent years, and fewer and fewer people can talk on an equal footing. However, his rising status made Fang Hong's emotional repression more serious. While ensuring that he is an honest official, he has also distanced himself from the public, and emotional communication is increasingly lacking. He followed the rules, never hurt anyone, and kept his word, but he took away his emotions and became like a combination of components.

In the past days, Yao once heard shouting: I just want to invite schlappner. ...

In a sense, it may be a relief for Fang Hong to jump off the fifth floor. If Fang Hong can be treated by a psychologist, his depression will be cured. But he must first admit that he suffers from depression and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. But Fang Hong can't. Once he reveals that he suffers from depression, Fang Hong is bound to step down. For a man with a strong sense of responsibility and self-esteem, this may be unacceptable in any case. In the west, depression is called "worry" by Heidegger, "disgust" by Sartre, "absurdity" by Camus and "anxiety" by Barrett, all of which are representative languages that summarize depression. As for "I live so tired" and "life is a burden", it seems that it has been transformed into a vocabulary that some friends in our society often use, and the emotions revealed from it are no different from the depression of modern people when they feel the pressure of survival. However, the different cultural backgrounds of the East and the West can make the experience of patients with depression very different.

As for Fang Hong, he has been the boss of Volkswagen for more than two years, and his image in the public is beautiful. Once he has been treated by a psychologist and revealed many personal secrets, can the public accept Fang Hong again? Needless to say, the oriental traditional culture simply does not allow the beautiful image in the mind to be destroyed.

By extension, this may be one of the deep social backgrounds that many mental patients are unwilling to see a doctor for treatment.

Fang Hong's death can be discussed from another angle.

Fang Hong has achieved a series of successes, including his own personality and talent. But we can't help but admit that success inevitably means that a person's personality and reality have made some kind of compromise. Today, with the reality becoming more and more utilitarian, Fang Hong's shortcomings of integrity, honesty and unwillingness to accept the status quo are commendable. With the improvement of his status, whether he can adjust his compromise with the objective world to an optimal point is the key to his balance. As you can imagine, the pressure he felt was unprecedented.

In another year, that is, 1994, Fang Hong will naturally retire, but he didn't survive. It is difficult for an excellent person like Fang Hong to overcome mental depression, not to mention countless ordinary people.
