Recently a really strange thing happened in a middle school in China's Hubei Province. Over 600 students there took part in a “caring for an egg like a baby”{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (active) in which they were asked to keep an egg close at hand for a month{#blank#}2{#/blank#}breaking it.

    "It's hard for parents to bring up their children{#blank#}3{#/blank#}many students just ignore it,” said Liu Kang, the school's director. "They should{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(teach) to be grateful to their parents, who have given them life but ask for nothing in return.”

    Li Ming is one of the students. His egg didn't break during the month, but he felt{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(exhaust). "I now realize that my parents have had great difficulty{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(bring) me up. I'll do all I can to make their life easier and more{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(comfort) when I grow up.” promised the 13-year-old boy.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (luck), about 10 students broke their eggs. Yan Yueming broke his egg after just five days, which made him frustrated. He said, "I can't imagine{#blank#}9{#/blank#}sad my parents would be if there was something wrong with me, their 'egg'!" It is time I{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(do) something in return for their love.” said Yan.

    Do you Douyin？

    Got a moment – or, perhaps, 15 seconds? In the age of fragmented (碎片化的) time, Douyin, which is a massive hit in China right now, can perfectly fill in the gaps when people have nothing {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (good) to do between two events; its daily plays {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (spread) over one billion in the past few years. The Meipai(美拍)-like app allows users to produce creative short videos that combine music with mouth shapes or body moves. They can dance, sing, cook or do {#blank#}3{#/blank#} their hearts desire.

    Launched in September 2016, Douyin {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (own) by Zhang Yiming, one of China's top tech leaders; he chairs ByteDance. Similar to how Meipai worked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a time-limited video platform (平台), Douyin is a {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (collect) of brief 15-second music videos, mainly focused on young people, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it's certainly suitable for all ages.

    On the platform, childish and strange behaviors are {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (total) acceptable. In high-pressure world, it is no surprise that Douyin has become so successful – all you need to do is pick up your phone and open the app to relieve some stress and have {#blank#}9{#/blank#} laugh. The app pushes related videos and products based on users' preferences and consequently, Douyin can be quite addictive – many people just want to enjoy a few minutes at first, but end up {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  (consume) several hours' video time.
