There were almost no pedestrians next to the Anning River, and naturally no one noticed that someone had thrown himself into the river, but it was a good thing that a little boy playing on the side of the bridge happened to witness the whole process of throwing himself into the river, and the little boy was terrified, and he rushed to his parents, and then pulled his parents' hands and said in a panic that there were several people on the bridge who had jumped into the river.

The case is clear, but the most puzzling to the police and the crowd is the mother and son of the four suicide reasons, in the end, what kind of difficult to bear things happen, will make the mother of Yang Shan made the decision to take the child to suicide?
02 The content of the suicide note v. the truth
In fact, Yang Shan has written a good suicide note to the family before the suicide, which also precisely proved that the suicide with children is not Yang Shan's temporary intention, but early on the plan.
Yang Shan's last letter was to her in-laws, she wrote in her last letter: "I really can't take it anymore, since I gave birth to the twins I haven't slept a wink, I know it's a mother's responsibility and obligation, but I really can't take it anymore, I'm busy taking care of the three children every day, suffered from a great deal of physical and mental torture, but never! I'm so busy taking care of my three children every day, suffering from great physical and mental torture, but no one has ever really sympathized and cared about me, I'm really broken".
From Yang Shan's words, we can really feel her pain and helplessness, and the key is that what she said is not true.
Yang Shan's family is like most ordinary Chinese families, with the husband working outside the home to earn money and the wife taking care of everything at home.

Yang Shan's husband is a long-distance bus driver, and because of the nature of his work, he commutes across the country all year round, leaving little time for him to return home, let alone to help Yang Shan share the family burden.
Yangsan is not the kind of woman who is sentimental, she understands that her husband's work outside is hard and not easy, so at the beginning, she took up the responsibility of taking care of the three children by her own strength.
The two often rely on video phone calls to communicate with each other in their spare time, but it's hard for a long-distance relationship to last, and the challenges of a long-distance marriage are just as great.
The point of getting married is to find a life partner you can share your joys and sorrows with and rely on, but Yang Shan has gradually lost that feeling in her husband.
The video calls between the two were shorter and shorter, and most of the conversation was about the children, so Yang Shan felt a strong sense of being unappreciated.
Yangsan's time is taken up by her three children every day, cooking for them, driving them to and from school, tutoring them when they get home, entertaining them, and putting them to bed before she can go to sleep.

Yang Shan basically get up at 5:00 a.m. every day, until 11:00 a.m. in the middle of the night to go to bed, the body is seriously unable to eat, but the other side of the psychological pressure is also no place to cry, because her husband did not have time to listen to their own encounter.
Yangsan's mother-in-law is on her side, but she has found a part-time job to ease her son's burden, and she often goes to square dances with other women after work, so she can't count on her mother-in-law at all.
Yangsan's neighbors mentioned Yangsan words are full of sympathy, "she is not idle every day, the eldest son is fine, can be sent to kindergarten for a day, but the two twins have to be cared for at all times, and sometimes in time for the weekend, three children are around, she can only push the two hands, and in the arms of the one must be held. Yang Shan used to be very warm and friendly to us neighbors, but now I guess it is too tired, are not much and we greeted, every day listless".
When it comes to Yang Shan's husband, the neighbors are even more outspoken, saying: "I haven't seen him back all year round".
From the neighbors' words, it is easy to see that everything for the three children in the family is indeed managed by Yang Shan alone. It is no wonder that Yang Shan wrote in her suicide note to her in-laws that she was devastated and couldn't take it anymore.

And Yang Shan's other suicide note was written to her own family, the letter reads: "I know I'm not a filial daughter, and I'm not a good sister (written to her brother) perhaps you will not understand what I do, will blame me, blame me, but please cherish yourselves. yourselves and don't be too sad because of my departure."
Yang Shan actually went back to her mother's home the day before she jumped off the bridge to commit suicide. She was really having a hard time in her mother-in-law's home, so she took her children back to her mother's home to get a little bit of comfort from her mother's home, but what Yang Shan didn't expect was that her mother's family didn't take her coming back as a matter of fact.
It was not easy for her to go back to her mother's home, but she did not receive any welcome. Her parents were playing mahjong outside, her brother was playing games in the house alone, and nobody cared about why she came back, not to mention that no one would cook her a delicious meal.
Looking at her family's indifference to her, Yang Shan was as good as dead.
It is said that the mother's family is always the strongest backing of the woman, but now even this shield does not work, what else can one expect?
Yang Shan then left her mother's house with her children without a word.

Perhaps from the moment she left her mother's home, Yang Shan had already developed and even firmly committed to the idea of suicide.
For Yang Shan, both her husband's mother-in-law's inability to stand by and her mother's family's disregard for her are the snowflakes that contributed to the collapse of this snowy mountain, which is getting thicker and thicker and more and more snowflakes are accumulating day by day, finally ushering in the day of the outbreak.
