Life and Death: 生命, 死, 去世

A friend's grandmother has just died. Write a message of sympathy: say you've heard the news, share a memory of her, say something kind about her life, and offer help. Write 80–180 characters.

  • Talk about death respectfully with 去世 or 走了, never 死
  • Talk about her life with 活 or 一生
  • Comfort with 别太…
  • Offer practical help

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
