Before we look up abstract words in Chinese, I want to tell you a secret. In China, any kind of accident or disease has an official death toll. I don’t know about the disease, but for any accident, the death toll cannot be over 35; otherwise, the officials will have to step down and take responsibility. Because of that, the number of deaths 35 in China’s news is 3 times more than the other numbers. Shh! Don’t tell anyone!
