24、If you look around, you may see girls wearing hanfu or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters（汉字）on the stets. A new trend（趋势）is coming in China—“Guochao”, or “China-chic”.

According to a recent report, searches connected with “Guochao” on Baidu have risen quite a lot since last year, and reviews have risen, too. China-chic is happening, but what is it?

The word “Guochao” has appeared along with the development of the idea of “Made in China”. “China has recently seen a surge（激增）in young people’s interest in Chinese brands（品牌）and products that include Chinese traditional style and culture, a trend known as Guochao,” China Daily explained the word “Guochao”.

China-chic got people’s attention in 2018. Before that, famous foreign companies ruled the world market. Many Chinese brands followed in the footsteps of these Western brands. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection（以道教为灵感的悟道系列服饰）. The collection not only had a popular look, but also included traditional Chinese culture such as Chinese characters. It caught many people’s eyes at home and abroad at once. After that, Baidu Index showed that Li Ning’s popularity rose sharply. Since then, Li Ning has begun to meet the taste of young people.

Since then, ▲ , from clothing to food and drinks, mobile phones and electric cars. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, introduced its perfume（香水）and lip balm（唇膏）.

Now, the “Guochao” trend is moving to the next stage. No matter how it changes, there’s one thing that won’t change. Behind this is people’s pride（自豪）the country’s development and their growing confidence in national culture.

25、   A 10-year-old girl was on the way home after school. Suddenly, an object fell on her head. It was thrown from a building by an 8-year-old boy. Sounds like a story, doesn't it? Sadly, this actually happened in Nanjing in June. The girt was sent to the hospital.

Similar things have happened in other parts in China. Such heartbreaking cases raised public attention to the risk of injury by falling objects. Lawyers and experts are expecting to see more specific laws to deal with such cases. Under the law, people should pay the victims for the medical care if they hurt others with falling objects. But in many cases, it's hard to find out who is responsible. This makes the situation more difficult because all of those who live in the building could be responsible.

Many people have turned to video cameras as a way to solve the problem. Some areas in Nanjing have used cameras to record objects falling from high buildings. But the cameras can only see the outside of the buildings. There have been other suggestions as well. There should be more quality checks for windows and more efforts to remind the risk of falling objects.
