Too much pressure

A half-finished bottle of Mirinda orange drink sits on the table, a crumpled blanket lies on the bed and a letter flashes on the laptop computer. All these items seem to be waiting for their owner, but Zhang Cunxiao will never return.

Last month, the fourth-year student at the College of Material Science and Project in Beijing University of Science and Technology, jumped to his death from the 12th floor window of his dormitory.

The reasons leading to his tragic death are still under investigation but his suicide note revealed a young, troubled, tortured soul.
