Rape Victim commits suicide - Katie Schuldenberg

26-year-old author Lin Yi-Han from Tainan, Taiwan committed suicide in April 2017 as a result of her depression. Yi-Han is acclaimed for her novel, Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise, a story about a pre-teen girl who was seduced and sexually assaulted by her private tutor. After Yi-Han's death, the truth came out that the story was written from personal experiences and the events in the novel were real life accounts of her sexual abuse and the repercussions of it.
As heart-wrenching as it is to lose someone who has been struggling for so long with depression and suicidal thoughts, Yi-Hin's novel has touched the hearts and lives of many and has brought an awareness to sexually assault not only in Taiwan, but all over the world. The personal accounts of her experiences draw people in to the difficult happening of sexual abuse and inflict change among those who bring inspiration out of Yi-Hin's suffering.
