take one's own life

— Chia Kuei-hsiang was a young worker at the Horticultural Model Farm in Chia-mu-ssu. On July 27, 1956, having long suffered the abuse of subjectivists and bureaucrats, she took her own life. Comrade Wang Ko, a reporter for the Heilunkiang Daily News, published a report of the circumstances surrounding her death on October 11 of that year. Depressed after reading such a story, I wrote this poem in the hope that there will never be another Chia Kuei-hsiang.
