Recently, Falling Stars Challenge has gone viral on Chinese social media(社交媒体 shèjiāo méitǐ) site. Instead of showing off their wealth(财富 cái fù), people across the nation(国家 guó jiā) are "falling" to present their professional accomplishments(成就 chéngjiù). 

近日,“炫富挑战”在中国社交媒体刷屏。与摔倒炫财富不同的是,中国人摔倒炫的是他们的专业成就。
