Abstract

Suicide has ever been a challenging public health problem in China, and has accounted for approximately 17% of all suicide deaths across the world.1 With the rising economic levels and great social changes, a dramatic decline in suicide rates has been observed in China since the economic reform policy enacted dated back to 1970s.2, 3, 4 The underlying mechanisms of the rapid declines are complicated and cannot be fully explained by the suicide theories that are mainly originated from western cultures.
