BACKGROUNDSuicide: The Chinese CultureMany countries in both eastern and western cultures considersuicide being morally wrong and as a weak or foolish behaviour (Sun et al., 2008; Tzeng et al., 2010). In Chinese culture, the term ‘bu-hsiao’ refers to suicide, which means non-filial piety, because the basic ‘hsiao’,or filial piety, means to protect the life and the body that your parents donated to you. Thus, parents are extremely saddened when their children attempt to destroy, by way of suicide, the life and body they have bestowed on them. This belief, based on the philosophy of Confucius, posits that ‘hsiao’ is influenced strongly in Taiwaneseculture and thinking (Sun et al., 2008; Tzeng et al., 2010). Many studies have reported that suicide still carries a tremendous stigma (Dyregrov, 2011; Keyvanara & Haghshenas, 2010; Sun et al., 2008;Tzeng & Lipson, 2004). Moreover, individuals who attempt suicide as well as their families feel tremendous shame and fear that theirfriends and society will reject them. Social stigma can be diminished if people become willing to enter into dialogue about suicide, and perhaps a more open debate about the topic might help people feelmore comfortable seeking help (Dyregrov, 2011).
