About

The Chinese word "倒下" is formed by combining the character "倒", which means to fall or topple, with the character "下", which means down or downward. This construction creates a compound where the first character conveys the core action, and the second character specifies the direction or result of that action, effectively illustrating a downward falling motion through the sequential and meaningful pairing of these two visual and conceptual elements.
