As the saying goes, ‘Weeds can’t be blown away, but the spring breeze blows and they grow again.’ Everyone knows that weeds have strong vitality, but they are also the bane of food crops, competing for nutrients with food crops. Therefore, farmers are usually afraid of weeds. It’s not until they are completely removed that the problem is finally solved with the emergence of paraquat. In fact, paraquat is just a fertilizer that, when sprayed, makes the weeds wither. Therefore, in most rural households, there is usually a bottle of it. However, recently, more and more people are choosing to commit suicide by drinking paraquat, and with today’s medical technology, the survival rate is almost 0. Then, why does such a highly toxic pesticide still not have an antidote?

Li Dejun, known as the ‘founder of paraquat in China,’ once said: ‘I know there is no antidote, but I never thought that someone would actively drink it!’

Paraquat was first discovered by an overseas scientist by accident, and then further researched by Li Dejun and his friends, and it was developed and widely used as fertilizer in China. The reason why the scientist researched this project was just to help farmers quickly and completely remove the weeds in the fields, so that crops could grow stronger and improve efficiency.

Therefore, they never thought that someone would drink it to commit suicide, or why they would think of researching an antidote. Moreover, Li Dejun is just an expert in fertilizer production, not a doctor. Therefore, we can say that he actually doesn’t know how to research the corresponding antidote. After listening to the expert’s self-narration, I finally understood and learned something.

Moreover, these people who dare to die, what are they afraid of drinking pesticides? Even if they don’t drink paraquat, they will find various other ways to end their lives. Experts can research antidotes, but it is difficult to prevent the mental collapse and aversion to life in people. All this can only rely on them to think it through and on the persuasion of their friends or relatives.

However, because more and more people are choosing to commit suicide by drinking paraquat these days, China has also started to strictly prohibit its use. But many people still have leftover stocks at home, which leads to such tragic incidents still occurring frequently.

I once encountered a 20-year-old girl who drank paraquat and committed suicide in the emergency room. Even the excrement she vomited turned gray and black, which was very terrifying. Therefore, I want to say something to these friends who can’t see the light: Life in daily life is difficult, but we still need to learn to survive bravely and courageously. Drinking paraquat means that even the opportunity for regret is gone, so we don’t need to do things that make our families and friends regret for a lifetime. Living is stronger than anything else.
