"Topic + Comment" Structure
This structure is frequently used in Chinese. The topic of the sentence appears at the beginning of a sentence, and the following comment described the state, condition or characteristics of the preceding topic. The relationship between the two is similar to super ordinate and subordinate or whole and part.
