Features: "Fill-in-the-blanks" is a quintessential Western import. This seemingly simple activity crossed the ocean to China and surprisingly found many enthusiasts. Isn’t it just playing with words? After the Chinese put their spin on it, within the confines of black and white, they managed to create countless new variations, covering idioms, classical poetry, names of people, places, and books, all enhanced with riddles, quick-thinking puzzles, associations, and metaphors at will. What is "education through entertainment"? This is it! Anyone can enjoy this game! Between study and work, pick up a page at random and test your memory, association, and judgment skills. See how knowledgeable you are, and how many books you still haven’t read. Even if you have the "Cihai" (Comprehensive Dictionary), "Idiom Compendium," or "Encyclopedia" at hand, you still can’t fill in the blanks when you have time! Once you see the answers, you’ll realize the extent of your knowledge. That’s how knowledge grows! Imagine if this was on the college entrance exam, or if your boss was struggling with a technical term, or if your girlfriend couldn’t recall the name of an imported cosmetic brand. Wouldn’t this be the perfect moment to showcase your skills? As long as you can read Chinese characters, welcome to the club of the smart!
