With the rapid growth of the number of migrant workers, migrant workers entering an important period of transition generations. The 1980s or 1990s have born in the rural town of residence and employment in the new generation of migrant workers has been created and then large-scale, farmer-workers has become the main force. China Youth Research Center released a research report, the new generation of migrant workers accounted for 61.6% of the total number of migrant workers, up to 141 million. Compared with the older generation of migrant workers, the new generation of migrant workers have a unique group identities and life experiences, a strong competitive advantage, a strong awareness of rights and have to take the initiative to achieve the pursuit of self-worth. However, the motivation for the new generation of migrant workers in cities is no longer purely to earn money, to return home building, married and have children, and their survival has been its social rationality rational replaced. Although the generation of migrant workers living philosophy, educational level, ways of thinking, compared with the older generation of migrant workers have undergone great changes, but they have to face the older generation of migrant workers and the overall similarity of the social environment and living environment. Social integration and unreasonable barriers to the outside world with the unique system of artificial barriers make it difficult for them to integrate into mainstream society to the city. On the one hand, the reality of the enormous pressure to survive and institutional barriers to making the new generation of migrant workers in the more deeply understand the plight of urban life and arising from the relative deprivation; other hand, in the process of re-socialization, although new behalf of the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers get more protection, but against the interests of migrant workers in the event still occur. Especially in the face of unreasonable conditions or social integration for decent work, dignity of life, rights can not be achieved, they are very prone to antisocial behavior or mood and low self-esteem of the community to take irresponsible behavior, even tragic choice of extreme resistance suicide to seek their own way---right, rights and social recognition.Access to the new generation of migrant workers in the research data in the process, I found that scholars of the generation of migrant workers committed suicide or suicide prevention research is not a lot, especially the new generation of migrant workers in the face of unreasonable conditions or for social integration decent work, dignity of life, rights can not be taken to achieve the extreme fight style suicide is rare. Shenzhen Foxconn occur until the "N jump suicide" was revealed, the new generation of migrant workers was caused by suicide academic attention, and from a different perspective of the "N jump" causes of the incident. However, I believe, just for the crack Foxconn "N jump" specific events provide a specific solution ideas, is still a level of analysis and research strategies. Perhaps this new generation of migrant workers there are many committed suicide we do not know, according to the relevant information, Foxconn "N jump" suicides before, there were already nine cases of the new generation of migrant workers suicides occurred, even in the "N jump" suicide incident, Taizhou, Zhejiang occurred three similar to poison the new generation of migrant workers committed suicide, but little attention to academics and research. Therefore, this paper Foxconn "N jump" suicide is a typical case, a unique perspective that is the reason why the new generation of migrant workers to take extreme suicide because suicide is to seek its own right, rights, and fight to win a means of social identity, from a sociological perspective on the new generation of migrant workers protest-style analysis of the causes of suicide, and try to propose appropriate countermeasures. Thus, in terms of academic, crack generation of migrant workers as well as specific intervention on the new generation of migrant workers on the issue of suicide, will be of special significance.Text is divided into five parts:The first chapter is the introduction, the main background for this study, the researchers conducted a meaningful account; second chapter of this "new generation of migrant workers", "fight-style suicide" and "integration" of these three core concepts are defined, and this language-based "suicide theory" and "inconsistent theories stress suicidal," the basic theory of the sort; the third chapter, with the research methods literature method of Foxconn "N jump" suicides described in detail, and on the Foxconn "N jump" suicides were qualitatively; Chapter IV, with the sociological perspective on the new generation of migrant workers struggle to analyze the type of suicide, suicide attempts to explore the real reason behind this is the focus of this article; Chapter V, Chapter IV drawn from the analysis for the reasons given in response to a simple strategy.
