You wrote that you are very worried about your friend, Chen Lei. I understand quite well that you are     1     and feel terrible. You think that your friend plays     2     games too often and     3     too much time online.

Why not     10     the problem together? I am sure he will listen to you since you are his good friend.

All the best,
