A Chinese chef, Li Enhai, set a new Guinness World Record for creating the thinnest handmade noodle during an Italian TV show in Milan.

His incredible noodle measured just 0.14 millimetres thick—thinner than a strand of human hair! The feat took place on the set of Lo Show Dei Record, a program that celebrates record-breaking achievements.

Li Enhai had previously held this record but lost the title when another chef rolled a noodle measuring 0.18 millimetres thick. Determined to reclaim his spot, he showcased his noodle-making skills and succeeded. With this achievement, Enhai proved that traditional techniques can still break modern records.

This delicate noodle-making requires exceptional precision, steady hands, and years of practice.

At the local library, a bright poster appeared on the community noticeboard. It showed a picture of a girl carrying a reusable bag and a line that read, ‘Bring your own bag and help reduce waste.’ Small print underneath explained that the council was trialling a new recycling programme. The poster also listed the dates of free workshops where families could learn how to sort rubbish correctly. Near the bottom, a website address invited readers to find out more. The poster used short sentences, clear colours, and simple pictures so people could understand the message quickly.
