People teaching English in China might have taught one of the people who broke the human domino record yesterday (August 12th).
A total of 10,276 people in Northern China, mostly high school students, broke the record in one hour and twenty minutes.
The participants sat cross-legged and fell backwards onto one another in a sequence, replicating the domino effect.
People teaching English in China may have seen Wu Shaohang, a Guinness World record official, announce on state television: "The human dominoes were a success. The new record is 10,276 people. This is a new Guinness World record."
In 2000, 1,000 people in Singapore set the previous record.
This is not the only quirky thing that has been seen in China. In reports last week, it was announced that a Chinese company had designed a giant bus.
The giant bus has been designed to combat the traffic problems in the cities of the country. It achieves this by being able to straddle cars.
