Professor Yi Sun from USD gives an explanation for the high
incidences of female suicide rate in China. She argues that the high
suicide rate grows out of a "cultural clash" generated by distinctive
emancipation of women's status under communism and continued traditional
pressures planced on women as "domestic" wives. An interesting point she
makes is that the enlargement of "private" space in China has deprived
women of traditional public support and left women to fend for themselves
in their private domain.
