According to Zhu Yongxin, deputy secretary-general of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, academic pressure is one of the main factors.

北京回龙观医院的刘华清医生表示，年轻人正处于人生的一个脆弱时期，应对挫折的能力还没有完全锻炼出来，

"Why can others deal with setbacks and you can't?" or "You are just making something out of nothing."
