The “被” sentence

In Chinese, a sentence with “被” can express the passive voice, its structure being “S + 被/叫/让 + O + V + Other Elements”, in which the subject is the patient of the action and the object the agent. The object following “被” can be left out, while the object after “叫” or “让” cannot. For example:

我被男朋友影响了。
帽子被刮跑了。
蛋糕让弟弟吃完了。
我的照相机被谁拿去了？

Note that negative adverbs and modal verbs should precede “被” if there are any. For example:

问题还没有被解决呢。
病人还没被送到医院呢。
下个月她会被妈妈送到美国。
我们经常被别人认错。

Mass graves remain unturned

Descendants of the dispossessed

Return with bombs strapped to their chests

There are days that hit you out of nowhere. Like today, I was having a nice day, and then my mind wandered off into distant, and I realized that I am very lonely, and I have pretty much no one to speak to. But well, today will go by, and tomorrow I will be as if I am back to normal.
