I want to leave a suicide note for my boyfriend. He is a native Chinese.
My Chinese isn't the greatest, so I'm not confident of my ability to write a suicide note in Chinese that fully explains my reasons for wanting to die. I think my death will leave him a lot of guilt, so I'm hoping to leave a note that will give him closure.

Maybe you can use your phone to record a voice message or try some speech to text software?

i am a native chinese. been in the US for the past 20 somewhat years. I can translate if you want

However, if your boyfriend is fluent in english, i would just write it in english. Somethings are always lost in translation. When I read/write in english, i don't translate back and forth to chinese. I think in english. When I read/write in chinese, i don't think in english.. it's two separate tracks. so if he's fluent in english, he can fully appreciate the note in english

He is not fluent in English.
I usually speak to him in Chinese, but there are a lot of more complex ideas I have a hard time explaining.
