on september 13, zhong danning, a 7-year-old student from xiamen experimental primary school, challenged the wrca world record for "fastest time to solve the '4×5 huarong road' zhuge feather fan layout" at the official world record challenge location in xiamen. she broke the world record with a time of 0.979 seconds on her first challenge and became the world record holder for this event.

huarong road is an ancient puzzle game originated in china. players need to solve cao cao's dilemma by moving various chess pieces, including cao cao, guan yu, zhang fei, zhao yun, etc. the game does not allow crossing chess pieces, and cao cao needs to be moved out of huarong road with the least number of moves. the "zhuge yushan layout" of huarong road is a specific game layout, the goal of which is to help cao cao move from the initial position to the middle exit at the bottom of the board by moving chess pieces, so as to successfully escape. ‌

zhong danning has always liked to challenge things that others think are impossible. she usually studies cello and street dance, and likes to tinker with various educational toys. when she was 5 years old, she often studied classical educational projects with her grandparents.

zhong danning's teacher is yang xinjing, a multi-world record holder who was born in the 2000s. some people think that educational games are more suitable for boys. but yang xinjing thinks that zhong danning is a good candidate for competitive sports and can also play rubik's cube, huarongdao, tower of hanoi and other sports very well.
