After the former mayor of Seoul committed suicide, why were the anti-suicide signs on the bridge erased?

The main reason is that the Seoul City Government received complaints from residents and believed that the anti-suicide slogans left on the bridge were very uncomfortable, so the government removed the anti-suicide slogans on the bridge.

In fact, this incident is also very ironic. Why do you say this? It was the government of Seoul that erased the anti-suicide slogans left by the late former mayor on the Han River Bridge, while the former mayor in 7 He personally wrote an anti-suicide slogan on the bridge years ago, but 7 years later he ended his life by suicide. Do you think the citizens will feel uncomfortable after seeing this slogan? It's like calling you to commit suicide, so this slogan will be erased.

The slogan left by the former mayor under the Han River Bridge at that time was to let us calm down and start over. Fortunately, we were just dozing off for a while. It stands to reason that since such a slogan is left on the Han River Bridge, anyone who wants to commit suicide should calm down and think about whether they need to commit suicide when they see the slogan here, but this is the fact. Yes, the heart-warming slogans did not effectively prevent people from committing suicide. On the contrary, the data shows that we can know that the most people jumped from the Mapo Bridge. When anti-suicide slogans first appeared, only 15 people committed suicide by jumping into the river. However, after 2013, the number suddenly increased to 93 people, and after 2014, the number increased to 184 people. It can be seen that such heartwarming The slogan only prevented people from committing suicide by throwing themselves into the river in the short term, but in the future this slogan seemed to have a magical power and encouraged people to commit suicide. Until 2012, in order to reduce the probability of people committing suicide by committing suicide by throwing themselves into the river, the government placed the blue root height on the river. It has increased from 1.5 meters to 2.5 meters. Such difficulty has caused the number of people to jump into the river to gradually decrease, slowly decreasing from more than 100 people to 148 people in 2018.

So the relevant personnel of the Seoul City Government said that heart-warming chicken soup like that has no practical effect on people who want to commit suicide. On the contrary, increasing the height of the railing is more effective than heart-warming chicken soup. That’s why they decided to erase the slogans on the Han River Bridge this year. In fact, this is also to reduce the suicide rate in Seoul. In fact, I don’t know why these people commit suicide. Maybe they are really oppressed by too much life, but I think there will always be a day when the rain will pass and the sky will clear up, and the world will always get better. It cannot always be that bad people are in power and good people are in trouble.
