After the revealing of the scandal, a lot of media focused on look for the reason why so many employees in Foxconn com choose to comment suicide. After a mature reporter from South Weekly disguised as a worker in Foxconn and stayed there for a month, he found out the reason. According to Chang,

“The reporter found out that every single one of the workers in living through a life like a. They work, they off they go to sleep. And the next day, they repeat the same thing again. The reporter thinks that the only way to stop repeating life is that they end their precious life someday.”(Chang, 4)

During those 28 days, the reporter lived together with workers and get familiar with them. He found out that life in Foxconn is really boring and exhausting. No enough break, no entertainment time; except for sleeping, what they are doing is just working and working, And the life are just the same for everyday. However, how can regular human beings bear life which is vacuous in mind but completely exhausted in body? Under enormous pressure, it’s understandable to see why employees want to end their life by themselves, because it’s also one way of release. While we feel sympathy to those employees, we should also feel shame for the Foxconn com. It’s such an immoral company which abuse the employees, make employees want to avoid their life by extreme method. When the enterprise pays a lot of attention on their profits, it also should concern about their workers. Enforcing workers to work overtime illegally and restrict their leisure time is not the correct way to develop the company. Conversely, they should also take care of employees in order to make employees feel satisfied with the company, rely the trust on company and eager to make contribution to the company.
