In the cozy first-class sleeper, Ye Yuwei was scrolling through her tablet with trembling fingers.
The news of Yu Qingjia's suicide had already gone viral, dominating the trending topics and flooding social media.
Before taking her own life, Yu Qingjia had posted a scheduled Weibo message on her account:
Perhaps by the time you see this message, I will no longer be in this world. I am finally and completely free. These past years, I have lived so unbearably, so exhaustingly.
I feel immense guilt toward those who supported me, liked me, accompanied me, and voted for me. The bold aspirations of "The Big Three" from the general election will never be realized.
The external project I had been longing for is gone. At first, I was filled with resentment—you all know how difficult it is to land an external project in Hanoi, how much effort it takes. But now, I've let it go.
