Another Huawei employee died

7/24/2007, Zhang,yue, made suicide in an appatment building yesterday just after 2 months he entered Huawei. He left a letter to his parents and told them he felt too big pressure in Huawei.
It is the 3rd Huawei employee who died abnormally in this year, the first died in his work position, the second died in the lost Kenya airplane. Everytime people saw such news, they will always link it to the high pressure Huawei employees face.
A speakman from Huawei HR department denies the suicide is because of pressure. He told the press this employee was still in training , it isn't possible he faces big pressure. Anyway, Huawei will compensent the parents 10,000 RMB to console them.
Rather than the young man died under pressure from work, I would think that he died under the high expectation from his parents, his friends. In China, not many company can provide the same high salary as Huawei. To enter Huawei is always the dream of many young boys and girls, when the dream become bubble, what will happen?
I would not criticize Huawei for this, I would condemn the society.
