跌进 (diē jìn) — fall into (a physical hole, trap, or situation); fall below (a certain level, especially of prices, value, or quantity)
Definition
跌进 combines 跌 ('fall') with 进 ('into') to emphasize falling into a state or low point, often a trap, crisis, or record low — more vivid than the plain verb 陷入 (HSK 6), which is the neutral written word for 'fall into'.
