A 17-year-old Chinese girl named Guo Pu made history on December 13, 2025. She won the gold medal in women’s breaking at the World Championships in Japan. This is China’s first world gold in this event.
Guo was born in Linyi, Shandong. A coach found her talent in a performance and asked her to try street dance. At first, Guo’s parents didn’t agree, but later they changed their minds. She has trained for nearly 10 years, about 8 hours a day. Guo never gave up even when she felt down.
Guo hopes her win can inspire (激励) more young girls to dance. Guo loves the sport and will keep working.
