    I’m positive the caption is made up for a joke. The only places that talk about the true origin are subreddits which all seem to say it was drawn in a military bunker.

      As a Taiwanese, I can confirm the caption was made up. I just looked up “life sentence” and “suicide” in Chinese and got no relevant results. The vibe of the picture does look Taiwanese though

        Hasn’t there been a recent trend where the media doesn’t talk about suicides that happened because of copycat suicides that can occur after reporting it?

          There has been this trend indeed, but I do still see news reports about suicides every now and then.
