11 Year Old Chinese School Boy Breaks Guiness World Record On His Smallest Origami Paper Frog Creation

Teacher Li Wei elaborated on the dedication and research behind the success.

“Before the Guinness challenge, we conducted targeted and in-depth training. We practised folding methods, placement positions, and pressing strength separately. On certification day, the paper frog jumped impressively in the first two tries but landed outside the valid area. The anticipation built as everyone waited for the third try in total silence. However, Liang Chenhao remained calm. In his third attempt, the paper frog jumped 2.52 meters successfully.”

Li added, “I felt exhilarated at first. I never dreamed we could achieve a Guinness World Record… Now, all teachers, students, and parents are aware of our record-breaking success. People realize that Guinness records are no longer out of reach; even an 11-year-old student can break a world record, inspiring others to challenge themselves.”

To enhance the jumping performance of the paper frog, Chenhao and teacher Li studied paper stress, crease angles, and center of gravity balance.

After hundreds of trials and adjustments, they optimized folding techniques and jumping mechanics, fine-tuning every detail to achieve this historic breakthrough.

School principal Deng Xingyuan expressed pride in the accomplishment, noting, “Our education idea is to let every child show their true beauty, develop their personality and discover their talent. Our professional teachers love science education and devote themselves to teaching. This is the key reason for such an achievement.”

Prior to the Guinness challenge, Chenhao had already secured several championships in paper frog jumping competitions at the city and regional levels in Guilin and Guangxi.

Chenhao received his official Guinness World Record certification in June, and his leap comfortably surpasses the jumping capabilities of many real frogs.
