Meet Huang Tanchen, the 8-year-old Chinese boy who wrote a science-fiction novel and became the world's youngest published male novelist

What were you doing when you were eight years old? Huang Tanchen was already building worlds on paper. The Chinese boy began writing seriously at seven and worked on a science-fiction story about adventures across planets. His persistence eventually produced a published novel. At just eight years and 49 days old, Huang became the Guinness World Records holder for the youngest published novelist (male), turning an unusually ambitious childhood idea into a real book.
