in memory of Jia, Haoyu

In memory of Jia, Haoyu

he was called Weiwei when we were both little. my mother used to take me to their place to visit his mother, an college friend of my mom. we used to run around in Qingyuan and spend time in the playground with athletic instruments.

now news came saying that he jumped from top of a 12-floor in Qingyuan, where he grew up, where his and my parents studied and lived together.

I haven't met him since primary school. heard that he went to nankai high school and got admitted by qinghua. after coming back from jp after two years of graduate school, he had some trouble finding a job in China, because of his major, but finally started working in bj three months before the tragedy.

words from multiple acquaintances suggested he had some depression and had taken some medicine when in Japan, but somehow he was pushed back to the wave of billions of busy lives of Chinese young people, and lost himself.

this is the first real people I know that killed himself.
