## Description

In Fall 2023, Sugar went to Hangzhou, Zhejiang to attend university.

She was an introverted girl who cared about others' feelings too much such that she wasn't able to express herself when she needed it.
She was too shy to express her confusion and anxiety.
Moreover, she hadn't a friend to confide her thought, she could only hide these in heart. 
That made her look a bit intimidated.

She always prepared a lot ahead of meeting friends in real life.
She was always worried about leaving a bad impression, so she asked them tons of questions in advance (such as which kinds of gift they would like), and warned them she might exhibit regressive behaviors.

Her family is conservative.
Her father worked in China Railways Group and her mother was a teacher.
She didn't receive enough love from them.
They once threw away her gender-affirming clothing she hid while she was in high school.
Therefore, she was certain her parents were too conservative to communicate with.

## The dissipated haze in Hangzhou

On 6th January 2024, Sugar met friend A in Hangzhou.

Just before meeting A, she hid in the restroom and kept checking the mirror.
She was ashamed to meet A because she didn't do her hair or wear cute clothes.
Actually, she was still pretty despite that.

The two girls visited many places of interest in Hangzhou……

West Lake Culture Square, Wulin Suqare, Wuliu Lane, and Fengshan Gate.

When parting, She asked A on her thoughts of her plan to "threaten" her parents (to gain acceptance of being trans).

> *Here is what A remembered:*
>
> Sugar: Perhaps what I need to do is to "threaten", since they are too conservative to be communicated with.
> 
> Sugar: I'm afraid of pain, but I could hurt myself a bit.
> 
> Sugar: Thereby they might make a compromise eventually, and I might get more freedom in return.
>
> Sugar: According to the plan, I will delete you from my friend list after this parting.
>
> Sugar: You shouldn't be worried about me. Please forget me as soon as possible.

When A left for home, she left Sugar half a bag of oranges, and messaged her "Adios." (Goodbye) on QQ.
<!-- When A got off the train, she left Sugar half a bag of oranges, and messaged her "Adios." (Goodbye) on QQ. -->
A didn't get any reply.
That night, Sugar actually deleted her contact.

The second day, a Twitter user who claimed to be Sugar's high school classmate brought her some random thoughts on behalf of Sugar.
Then A requested them to look after her.

Later, Sugar began her winter vacation, and got her diagnosis certificate of gender dysphoria in Shenzhen Kangning Hospital —— This was only known by A after her death.

## Thick fog over Jialing River (Her departure)

On January 22nd, 2024, she went back to her hometown, Chongqing, and regained contact with A.

(According to her mother who worked away from Chongqing, when she just returned home, she seemed happy in Wechat.)

But the reality is the opposite.

She contacted A before she began to execute her plan.
She told A again and again that her purpose is not dying.
The point is to make her parents to realize the necessity of accepting her being trans by showing she's willing to die.

But the dosage she was about to take was fatal.

A and her other online friends couldn't persuade her, so they called for first aid as a last resort.
Because they didn't know her exact location, the ambulance left after more than half an hour had passed.

Unfortunately, Sugar was in a critical condition when the ambulance arrived at Second People's Hospital of Yubei District of Chongqing.
And she passed away in the early morning of the next day due to chemical poisoning.

## After her departure

Later, through a variety of ways, Sugar's mother contacted A on the morning of 23rd January.

After A told her about Sugar's gender dysphoria and the fact of suicide, she was astonished and said:

> "He(sic. The same below) had never told us about this! Why he abruptly did……"
>
> (It seemed that Sugar didn't directly and openly communicate with her parents about this.)

The loss of her child overwhelmed her.
She said words like Sugar was too selfish and didn't care about them.
Then she tried to unlock Sugar's phone.

A asked her mother to bury Sugar as a daughter, but her mother replied like [this](https://twitter.com/KiraRettosei/status/1749728762261012752?s=19).
(The link may be potentially triggering.)

However, her mother's attitude was changing gradually.

Her parents started to tidy up her belongings.

Her mother asked A if she wanted to keep Sugar's IKEA Blåhaj Shark, which she loved to hug.

Her mother said, he was their angel, but unfortunately God made him leave early and he had to leave.

Her mother had always been grateful to A.

## The new spring

It's 12th, February 2024. The third day of Spring Festival.

At this night, A set off for a trip to Guiyang and Chongqing.

At Ningbo Lishe International Airport,

A sat on a seat near the windows, waiting for the launch of the plane.

In a daze, a phone call from Chongqing came, and she was familiar with the number.

>（*The words in brackets represent A.*）
>
> Girl, how are you now? (I am fine, what happened?)
>
> It's nothing, but…… I always worried about that you might……as well. So I'm calling to ask you are okay or not.
> 
> Girl, if anything happened in the future, please tell your parents and not hold back and say nothing. Your parents always love you.
> 
> After our generation became parents, we no longer keep the authority and stubbornness of our elders.
> 
> So do I…… The path I am currently taking in life is not what my parents hoped, but I think it's no problem.
>
> We may not fully understand the decisions made by children, but we will support her if she carefully considered.
> 
> Girl, I am glad you're okay, wish you a happy life.

Sugar had a very cute face and figure.
If we change a character of her name to another homophonic one, it would became a girl's name that perfectly matches her gentle and soft temperament.

But she just departed, with a mentality of "take a gamble".
Her life was frozen at the age of 19.

When Sugar just passed away, her mother couldn't accept her decisions. But what did her mother say in the end?

Anyway, she had passed away.

> Hope you'll all remember Sugar.
> 
> Hope you can share important information, such as your address, with trustworthy friends to avoid any unexpected situations.
> 
> Hope that if you see a help request message, don't just swipe.
> 
> Hope that if you have the ability to call the police, you can dial decisively. You are a lifesaver, not a murderer. Don't be afraid.
> 
> Hope you cherishes life, hope still exists; you will only miss the opportunity if you leave too early.
> 
> Hope you'll all remember Sugar.

Take care.
