Epilogue
This book first came into being in 2012, which is 6–7 years from now. Therefore, some of the statistics and cases appear to be outdated. In recent years, China has enjoyed a steady economic growth, rapid development in social undertakings, and improved social security.
Undoubtedly, China still has a long way to go to prevent and control suicide. Yet we should also note that the suicide rate in China has fallen dramatically, indicating that we have achieved remarkable results through our continuous efforts over the past three decades.
We have every reason to believe that, under the guidance of “Healthy China” strategy, the whole society would work together to facilitate suicide prevention and to take on an integrated suicide prevention method based on China’s own reality.
