受事主语
Patient subject (受事主语)
Explanation
This is a sentence structure in which the subject of the sentence is the person or thing affected by the action, not the one performing the action. Example: '饭都吃光了' (The rice has all been eaten up), where '饭' (rice) is the object being eaten, not the one eating. This structure is often used to emphasize the result or state of the affected object, and the following verb does not need to add '被' (passive marker).
