　　上周，在深圳龙华工业园区，年仅21岁的南钢从楼上跳下，“完成”了富士康今年的“第十跳”。

　　2名跳楼自杀未遂的员工均受重伤。所有受害者年龄均在25岁以下，来到公司工作都不足1年。

　　Foxconn responded to angry employees, who blamed the lower-level management and insufficient provision of psychological counseling for the tragedies this year: "Has the enterprise provided sufficient mechanisms and opportunities for them to communicate and interact with each other? I feel that Foxconn has not done enough in the past," Foxconn spokesman Liu Kun admitted in an interview with state television at the weekend。

　　Many workers claim that they feel lonely, as they are surrounded by strangers both at work and in their homes and human contact is limited: "I've worked here for about one-and-a-half months and I've only met my dorm mates twice.
