Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese particle '被 (bèi)' is used to form passive sentences. In a passive sentence, the object of an action becomes the subject of the sentence. The actual subject performing the action can be omitted if the context makes it clear. The particle '被' is used to mark the agent of the action when it is mentioned in the sentence.
