In Chinese, sentence fragments are incomplete utterances that function as standalone expressions without a full subject-predicate structure. These fragments are common in headlines, titles, and descriptive captions where a full sentence is unnecessary. Although grammatically incomplete, they convey meaning through context and are widely understood by native speakers.
