Founder of Chinese Trainer. These lists come from the app's HSK inventory (hanzi, pinyin, band), not from an official exam PDF.
A rotating shelf of 网络热词: 内卷, 躺平 and what HSK will not ask… yet. This page lists 28 words from Chinese Trainer's inventory, with hanzi, pinyin and English, in the HSK 3–6 band. It is not a scan of an official paper; the same rows feed SRS in the app. Start with HSK 1–2 rows when the topic includes them, and add the rest once you can say three sentences out loud.
