Twenty-seven years ago, Fang Hong, president of Shanghai Volkswagen, committed suicide by jumping off a building. Yesterday's article about foreign coaches mentioned Mr. Fang Hong. So, several netizens came to ask about Mr. Fang. Is there something really wrong with Fang Hong? Why did he kill himself? My husband understands. I also interviewed people around him afterwards. My conclusion is sentimental. Fang Hong committed suicide for complicated reasons, among which personality problem is one of the main reasons.

at 9: 15 a.m. on March 9, 1993, Fang Hong, president of Shanghai Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd., committed suicide by jumping off a building in his office on the fifth floor. This incident is like a blockbuster, causing great shock. Overseas media have reported it one after another, and there are also many speculations. So, why did Fang Hong die?

1 Fang Hong committed suicide

On Tuesday, March 9th, Fang Hong came to work early as usual. This morning, Fang Hongyuan planned to hold an office meeting of Shanghai Volkswagen Co., Ltd. At 9 o'clock in the morning, many heads of Chinese and foreign departments of the company came to the conference room one after another, among which Yu Liangkun, the newly appointed manager of the finance department, came earlier. Yu Liangkun used to be the director of the president's office, and he had a good relationship with Tongfanghong. On this day, he wanted to take advantage of some time before the meeting to go to the president's office next door to see Mr. Fang. He was just about to push the door when a comrade in the general manager's office said that Mr. Fang was talking to Vice President You. Therefore, Yu Liangkun wants to enter and stop.

at 9: 1, the meeting room was full of people, but Mr. Fang hasn't come out yet. Yu Liangkun was stunned when he saw Deputy General Manager You coming in from the outside. At 9: 2, a staff member of the president's office rushed in and whispered to Vice President You that someone had committed suicide by jumping from the office building. Therefore, Vice President You asked Yu Liangkun and Xu Bin, director of the office, to deal with it. They both ran downstairs, and when they saw from a distance, Yu Liangkun's heart tightened, because the body lying on the ground was too familiar. Yu Liangkun dare not think there. He hurried back, reported to Vice President You, and then immediately went to open the general door. The door was locked, and Yu Liangkun suddenly felt his blood pressure rise. He didn't give up. He immediately called the driver and asked Fang Hong if he had gone out. Then, he searched around the factory ... Finally, they knocked down the door of Fang Hong's president: there was no one inside, and the window behind his desk was wide open.

When Fang Hong jumped from his office, there was a witness at Shanghai Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd.: Fang Hong had been looking at his window for a long time, and some workers said that Fang was always "riveting" them today (Shanghai dialect: staring). One witness said that he saw Mr. Fang get on the windowsill and then fall out clumsily. Just before Fang Hong landed from the air, the car of a delegation of a South Korean automobile company just passed by, and Fang Hong fell to his death less than two meters in front of the car. The scene was miserable.

After Fang Hong jumped to his death, the public security department confirmed that Fang Hong died for reasons other than external forces through reconnaissance and evidence collection.

In front of Fang Hong's body, the police removed a watch from his wrist, which was given to him by Toyota of Japan. The watch has been broken and the hands stay at 9: 15.

2 Abnormal phenomena before Fang Hong's death

After Fang Hong's suicide, although no suicide note was found in his home and office, there were still many abnormal phenomena before Fang Hong's suicide.

1. Fang Hong is usually a person who pays great attention to appearance. He often wears a suit and tie, and his hair is neatly combed. But some time before committing suicide, he seemed to be careless about his appearance and dressed casually. The dark trousers he wore when he died had been worn for more than a week. According to people around Fang Hong, this kind of situation would never happen in the past. He died wearing work clothes instead of his usual suit. This shows that his mood at that time was very bad.

2. Fang Hong usually has lunch in the company, and always likes to talk with the workers while eating. But recently, he always sits alone in an inconspicuous corner. According to Yu Liangkun, he looks like a forgotten person.

3. Fang Hong used to be a quick-thinking person, but recently he seems a little sluggish and slow to respond. Some people go to report their work to him, and he will stare at others for a long time, and then suddenly wake up and dream. Meesmann, vice president of Germany, once told Comrade Zhang Lijian of the sales department that Fang Hong should go to see a doctor, otherwise, he would definitely get Alzheimer's disease. Several comrades of Shanghai Volkswagen are also going to let Mr. Fang go to Shaoxing for a few days after the board meeting.

4. A few days before Fang Hong died, Shanghai Jiaotong University wanted to invite Fang Hong to be a visiting professor. Fang Hong said on the phone that I might not be here after the 1th. Two days before his death, he took photos of himself with Jiang Zemin, Zhu Rongji, Huang Ju and other leaders from the wall. He said that hanging these things is not interesting, but it is better to have less influence.

These facts show that Fang Hong's suicide must have gone through a long ideological struggle.

3 Answer three questions

There are many opinions about the reasons for Fang Hong's suicide. There are mainly three statements.

First, he may have financial problems. Foreign reports said that Fang Hong approved 15 Santana cars to his private customers every month, and he also said that he had approved a check of RMB 1, for the unit where his wife worked. At that time, cars were a tight commodity. As I remember, the rebate of a Santana car was 1 thousand yuan.

Second, he may have problems with his life style and have two mistresses.

Third, he sold national economic information to collect foreign exchange to support his son studying in Canada.

With regard to economic problems, it is known that Fang Hong usually does not have much savings at home. He sent his son to study in Canada and borrowed some money. Besides, Fang Hong is against his son going abroad to study. If his wife Yao Qinwei didn't insist, Fang Hong would never let his son Fang Jinjiang go abroad.

It is not accurate to say that Fang Hong can approve 15 cars to his private customers every month. In fact, Fang Hong can approve 3 cars every month, but he seldom approves the notes. Comrades working beside him said that in their impression, Mr. Fang only approved the note a few times. Once, his former classmate and now a principal of North Jiaotong University asked him to buy two cars. At ordinary times, his wife's relationship, want to buy a car, are afraid to find Fang Zong, but find Fang Hong's department to solve.

It's even more groundless to say that he collects kickbacks when approving cars. Once, his wife's hometown, Changshu, wanted to set up a taxi company and buy a car from Shanghai Volkswagen. For this reason, the leaders of Changshu had sent some hairy crabs to his home, but Mr. Fang threw them out. As for that check, it's even more nonsense. The reason for that check is this. In June 1992, schlappner, a foreign coach, came to China. At the welcome banquet, Fang Hong happened to sit at the same table with a vice mayor in charge of health in Shanghai. During the dinner, the vice mayor said, you Shanghai people are so rich, do you also support the medical and health undertakings? The vice mayor also said, for example, Liqun Hospital, the conditions are relatively poor. Immediately, Fang Hong and Lu Ji 'an, the chairman of Shanghai Volkswagen, decided to give Liqun Hospital 5, yuan. That is to say, the Liqun Hospital that Fang Hong gave money to has nothing to do with his wife, who is a famous ophthalmologist in Shanghai First People's Hospital.

People who are familiar with Fang Hong think it is absolutely impossible, and Fang Hong hates this aspect most at ordinary times. This may be related to his traditional family education. Strictly speaking, Fang Hong is a conservative person. He comes from a noble family and is the descendant of Fang Bao in Tongcheng, Anhui. Besides, Fang Hong and his wife are very loving and affectionate. As for selling national economic information, it has been confirmed to the relevant departments that there is no such problem. It is said that as far as some economic information is concerned, Fang Hong may not be as clear as the people below him.

4 Fang Hong's suicide motive

According to the analysis, Fang Hong's suicide was caused by a mental disorder caused by the heavy pressure of life and work. Specifically, there are three things that have greatly stimulated him recently.

1. A few days before the Spring Festival, his wife Yao Xinwei was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, which was a great blow to Fang Hong. Because, in family life, the wife's position is very important. At ordinary times, Fang Hong doesn't ask about family affairs at all, and everything is up to her. Now, his wife is terminally ill, and Fang Hong suddenly feels the weight of life. Those days, Fang Hong just got a new house. He was not satisfied, but his wife liked it. Helpless, he had to think about moving. This is a problem that he would never have considered in the past. A few days before committing suicide, he kept nagging people: how can I move that mahogany desk at home? Fang Hong used to be a very decisive person, but that was at work. As for this life experience, he didn't have it. Perhaps, Fang Hong's consideration is more complicated. If his wife dies, how should he take care of his family? There is an 8-year-old mother in the world and a son working in Canada.

2. At work, Fang Hong is facing a big problem recently. German Volkswagen, the partner of Shanghai Volkswagen, is asking Shanghai Volkswagen to pay dividends according to the contract. In the negotiations with the German Volkswagen, Germany insisted on asking Shanghai Volkswagen to pay foreign exchange (this is a clear clause in the contract). However, Shanghai Volkswagen has been short of foreign exchange recently. Shanghai's foreign exchange swap market was also restricted by foreign exchange management. At that time, the price of foreign exchange swap (USD against RMB) was kept at around 8.2 yuan, making it difficult for Shanghai Volkswagen to transfer foreign exchange from the foreign exchange market. Therefore, China has been asking Shanghai Volkswagen to stick to its position in negotiations with German Volkswagen and pay dividends in RMB. This is not a problem at all today. But it was a big problem at the time. This makes Fang Hong, who has always been extremely trustworthy, feel very embarrassed. On the day of his suicide, the sub-meeting he will preside over will be reported by the negotiators who came back from Germany. For this matter, Fang Hong once told people that he had a terrible headache, but he was helpless. He was deeply moved by this.

3. Football is an important part of Fang Hong's recent life. Invited foreign coach schlappner to coach in China, making him a man of the hour in China football; Planning to revitalize the China Football Foundation has greatly increased his popularity. However, he also experienced many hardships in the activities of supporting China football. He also encountered something that made him sad in the planning of the 1 million funds of the Football Foundation. Some enterprises that originally agreed to contribute capital chickened out, which made Fang Hong extremely anxious and in a very bad mood. Finally, with the strong support of Lu Ji 'an, the chairman of Shanghai Volkswagen, the foundation was finally established, but Fang Hong was depressed. Many people felt this at the foundation's inauguration ceremony.

someone commented, "Santana is Fang Hong's life, football is Fang Hong's soul, and his wife is Fang Hong's root". That's right. These three factors involve Fang Hong's life, soul and root, and the other macro may be fatal. Of course, if he is a cheerful person, Fang Hong seems to have no need to die at all. It happened that Fang Hong was another kind of person. From a psychological point of view, everyone's sensitivity to psychological pressure is completely different. Some people can bear great pressure, while others can only bear two or three points.

what kind of mental state is Fang hong? He is an introverted person, he is not good at words, and there are few friends who can talk with each other at ordinary times; He is also very lofty, especially looking down on people without real talent and learning; At the same time, he is also a very emotional person, with a very rich inner world, and often daydreams alone.

Fang Hong's family is also very special. His mother has lived with him all her life and has a great influence on him. It is an exaggeration to say that his mother raised him from one year old to 58 years old, and his mother influenced him in the same way until Fang Hong died. For example, his mother got up every morning to make breakfast for her son and watched him go to work every day. Later, Fang Hong insisted on letting the nanny cook, considering that her mother was old. However, his mother still cooked the meal, and the only change was to let the nanny send breakfast up.

At home, Fang Hong doesn't even wash a handkerchief. He often sits on the sofa and reads newspapers. He basically has no spare time, neither smoking nor drinking, and he is monotonous, so he can't get rid of his depression. Over time, there will always be times when generate.

From the perspective of psychoanalysis, the above reasons are very reasonable for Fang Hong to die. Of course, the halo on Fang Hong's head because of football, his status and popularity also aggravated his mental disorder to some extent.

Fang Hong is dead. It's such a pity, so miserable and so unworthy. Shortly after Fang Hong committed suicide, his wife, Dr. Yao Xinwei, also died of cancer. His old mother is still alive. This old-fashioned and traditional China woman sent her son and daughter-in-law away. The feeling of pain is beyond words.

I attended Fang Hong's memorial service. Comrade Zhu Rongji, then Vice Premier of the State Council, called twice to inquire about the situation and expressed condolences to Fang Hong's family. Comrade Jiang Zemin, then General Secretary, also asked his secretary to call in the name of Mrs. Jiang Zemin to express condolences to Fang Hong's family. This shows the official attitude towards the death of Hong. Relevant leaders of Shanghai also attended the memorial ceremony.

on that day, I always had a scene in my mind that I couldn't forget. Julu Road Fangjia apartment, I always have tea and chat in his living room. A good oolong tea. Drinking tea is one of Fang Hong's hobbies. We talked about China football, Volkswagen, history and culture. During the dinner, Mr. Fang received a phone call from Comrade Jiang Zemin, then General Secretary. Just for a very small thing. Comrade Jiang Zemin said, listening to the guard soldiers in Zhongnanhai, the brake pads of Santana car are loud. Is it because the brake pads are too hard? Comrade Jiang Zemin also said that he hoped that Shanghai Volkswagen would attach great importance to the quality of products, which is the life of enterprises. Mr. Fang immediately told General Secretary Jiang that technicians would be arranged to come to Beijing tomorrow to learn about the situation. After receiving this call, Fang Hong was very emotional. General Secretary Jiang was concerned about the quality of the brake pads of Santana cars, and we were ashamed to be an enterprise. That night, we talked very late and HI. The scene at that time was vivid.
