萝莉 luólì
Meaning: "萝莉" comes from Lolita, a title protagonist of Vladimirovich Nabokov's novel. In the novel, a middle-aged professor falls in love with 12-year-old Lolita. The name "Lolita" has entered pop culture to describe a sexually precocious girl. Later, the term has a more widely use referring to cute young girls or a fashion style somewhat similar to Victorian age clothing.
Examples:
A: 看《失恋33天》了吗?
Have you seen "Love Is Not Blind?"
B: 还没。听说票房大热啊。
