The Winter Olympic Games start on February 4. They take place in Beijing, China. Bing Dwen Dwen is the mascot of the games. It is a stuffed panda.
Bing Dwen Dwen is very popular. Many people buy it. People wait in front of shops all night. It is very cold.
Four companies make Bing Dwen Dwen. They close for the Lunar New Year holiday. There are not enough souvenirs in shops.
Some people use this situation. They sell souvenirs on the internet. The price is much higher. Some things cost 17 times more than in shops. This is against the law. Police arrest three people.
Difficult words: mascot (a famous thing for an event, and it brings good luck), stuffed (a toy which has soft material inside), souvenir (a thing which people buy, and they remember a place or event).
