Sociological and psychiatric studies on suicide based on Western ideas about human nature see suicide as social or individual disorder. Suicide in China, however, should be understood differently.
By analyzing 30 cases, Wu Fei studies the dynamics of suicide in terms of family politics and local psychology and finds that suicide is committed when a power balance is broken in the games of power in the family. Unlike public injustice, domestic injustice is not only closely related to, but also often strengthened by emotional interdependence. Suicide and depression are different responses to the same situation of domestic injustice. The book also covers suicide as perceived by rural people outside the family; how suicide is viewed in politics; suicide prevention and studies of suicide in Chinese modern intellectual history.
Showing that suicide in China is not mainly caused by too traditional values, but reflects a dilemma in Chinese modernity, this book should be of interest to students and scholars in Chinese studies; sociology; anthropology and suicide studies.
Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University Reviews: This book is the most serious ethnographic study of suicide to date. Its conclusions challenge but also complement psychiatric research. It is also an important contribution to the study of what is disappearing in rural China today. A real achievement.

吴飞是真厉害，他对Durkheim的解读和批评是我读过所有人当中最简明扼要且最突出的，我们reading list上的都是什么鬼。至于他自己的研究我也是很有好感，跟Durkheim就是一个社会学一个人类学的区别。

相比浮生取义，mental health problems的讨论更多了，尤其是在最后一章。只是有的词句真的没法翻译，作为一个中国人，看着看着就笑哭了...不是吴飞翻得不好，是难度系数太高，同情看不懂的外国人...
