--------------------
On this page, topics that have no label or have
the label
Still in
Use
are definitely still being used in the test (in Mainland China).
I am very confident or quite confident that those
topics labelled as (Probably no longer used)
are no longer being used in the test (in Mainland China). You can consider any
topics labelled as
Possibly no longer used
as having a big chance of no
longer being used but there is a small possibility that they are still in use.
